This is a great product, it does help making pies become quite easy and cooks very well. We love versatile it is with the different amount of fillings you can add, the choices and combinations are endless. The only thing I have noticed is it nearly cooks too quickly. You have to watch it, around 8-10 mins seems to work well when the book says 12-15 mins. By that time the pastry is well overcooked.
Easy of use, end result

The pies this maker produces are great, but it has one major flaw. I use frozen shortcrust pastry for the bases. However, the base cutter is so large that I can only cut one base per square of frozen pastry sheet. Considering this pie maker makes 4 pies at a time, this means I need to use four sheets of pastry for four pies. This just isn't cost effective. Apart from this, the pies taste great!
Makes crispy yummy pies
Size of pastry base means only one base can be cut per sheet of frozen pastry

Makes making pies just very easy! Love it and we get fresh crusty pies in a very short period of time! I love to make sweet or savory including using leftovers which works a treat! - and the kids also enjoy it very much! Cost effective and easy to use and clean, would definitely recommend it!
Ease of use, easy to clean, good value

The top crust didn't brown at all...just like raw dough. Used the pre-packaged defrosted pie crust and filled with pie filling (1/2 cup per instructions). The bottom crust and edges of the top crust were very brown after baking 10 minutes. However, the tops were still almost raw, translucent, with bubbling filling bursting out of the crust. Maybe it's just me...anything baked seems to come out wrong. In fact, you should use me as a tester because if I get great results, then it's fool-proof. I will try again making some savory pies but it wold be very helpful to first find out what I did wrong!
Easy to use
Read my review.

It was a great product until it broke after about 4 uses. We had our pie mixture all made ready to go the other night for dinner and all the pastry cut out ready to go also. Plugged it in and nothing no lights... Broken. Back to good old fashioned baking pies in the oven. I rang sunbeam and nothing they can do as it is outside warranty period (by 6months) apparently too expensive to fix so they recommended buying another one. - Don't think so if it is going to break again!!
Easy to make and clean and quick!!
Bad warranty service. Need 2 year warranty at least!

i LOVE this... this is the best thing when you are at the end of your pay week...its so cheap to make pies in... 1 can of spaghetti does 4 pies....we put everything in it...you can even use bread as pastry still works...you will love it
so easy to use...can make pies quiches and muffins

The pie maker is better than I expected. It is very easy to use and makes a nice crispy brown pie in 6 minutes. They then freeze well and are great for lunches. You can make fillings from scratch or use leftovers, or tinned baked beans etc. It comes with a good recipe book which has lots of good ideas. It also makes quiches and open topped pies but I haven't tried these yet. A real time saver having the 4 dish pie maker, the pastry sheets make 4 tops or bottoms per sheet so its all very economical too.
Easy to use, makes great pies

I really like this product and it gets regular use within my kitchen. It heats up quickly and holds the temperature well meaning perfect pies everytime. This product is perfect for turning leftovers into quick and easy meals and great for when guests drop by. This product is only limited by your imagination.
I was introduced to this a few months ago by a friend who has an addiction to making pies and I can happily say that I wasnt dissappointed. The deep dish makes nice sized pies and the included recipe book gives lots of inspiration for quick and cheap meals.
Making pies is addictive .......

Been using my mum's for years after getting it for her birthday. Now added one on to my wedding registry and I hope I get one too!

Never sticks, soo easy to clean - just a wipe down with damp cloth or paper towel.
Lovely golden pies and the recipes in the book it comes with are yummy.
Easy to clean, quick and efficient, deep pie capacity

One of the best things I've ever owned! Cooks pies quickly, effortlessly and the range of filling ideas are practically endless. I've even made cheesecakes. The whole family loves them. I've used left over casserole or mince savoury stew and used that as the filling, topped with mashed potato and grated cheese.

Very easy to clean with the non stick surface.

Pastry cutters and a great recipe book for pie ideas are also included with the pie maker.
Quick cooking, heaps of new filling ideas, and easy to clean

What's there to say, why buy a frozen pack of pies from the supermarket ever again. The sunbeam pie maker is the perfect appliance to test your pie making skills.... What skills? You dont need any. Fancy a steak and kidney, chucky steak or a chicken and mushroom,fill the pastry and let the pie maker do the rest.
Quickly heats up and cooks just as fast. Pastry always comes out crispy.
Like any appliance the clean up afterwards.

This pie maker is the 'best thing since sliced bread' as the saying goes! For my first go, I used puff pastry and made rhubarb and apple pies, and they turned out perfectly, with a beautiful rounded top. Hubby and I ogled them for ages admiring them! lol Love the recipe book, there are so many great ideas, the mind boggles.
So very easy to make pies and from go to whoa, cooking-wise, they take only 5 minutes. Quick to heat up in only 5 minutes and also very easy to clean.

Gift from friends approx 3 months ago as they had one and were rapt with it. We use it weekly. Sometimes we make specific pies, be it sweet or savoury, or we use up any leftovers we may have. We did find that with our one, we only had to bake for 5-6 minutes rather than the advised 7-8. We use pre-made pastry and its just fine. "Hint" If your going to freeze and reheat later, use shortcrust for the base. Can't believe we went so long without one.
Easy to use, no more throwing out leftovers. saves a few bucks.

Have owned this pie maker for about a year and use it all the time. Found it to be sturdy and reliable. Love that it makes 4 pies at once - good size pies. Use up all your leftovers by turning them into a pie. Make a bulk batch, wrap them up and freeze them then when you want a pie, defrost or heat in microwave for a minute and place back in pie maker to crisp up again. Recipe book that comes with it is great, lots of ideas like quiches and cheesecakes which all come out fantastic. So easy to use and easy to clean, Can't live without this one!!
Easy to clean, non stick, easy to use, good size pies and comes with recipe book.

overall i love this product, i make all sorts of pies in it such as meat pies, chicken and vegetable pies, apple pies, berry and apple pies and many more, let your imagination work and you will make great pies. all you need to do is make the filling and then put your pastry in and filling and it cooks it in a few minutes. its great fro leftovers i think, such as bolognaise sauce or a casserole you have leftover just make a pie from it perfect
i love the sunbeam pie magic, its so easy to use and makes piesw so quickly, very easy to clean,
there is nothing i disliked about this product
