Have had our Sunbeam Torino since November 2017, and it has just had it's second major fault with the steam wand. Have already had the steam wand solenoid replaced last August, and today it's blown the solenoid again and gave me an electric shock. Taking it back to Harvey Norman tomorrow to replace the Sunbeam with a Delongi as I don't trust Sunbeam anymore. Pleased I purchased the extended warranty as it's over 24 months old and would not have been replaced by HN I guess.

Past sunbeam perfect in every way ! This one massive fail.... this is my 4th machine in 13yrs and the worst

published

The quality of the coffee is never consistent, the temperature is always warm, I have followed all directions to have a favorable outcome like past machines but after 2yrs + owning and experimenting to have the same taste, density, quality and taste of past machines I give up . Looking to sell this machine ASAP.

Purchased at The Good Guys for $1,230.00.

Hi Sunbeam, that's great but my problem is more one of me not wanting to lift a 25kg machine either into my car or into packaging to have it shipped back.
Also, you still haven't responded to my customer queries from 30 March and 9 April.....why?

Terrible!

published

Don't by one, ours went to clean and despite multiple attempts at running machine through clean cycle it will not return to ready. Had a read of the reviews and quickly discovered many many similar complaints, I could not find any of these complaints that had a happy ending. You will get a polite reply, but you won't get it fixed without a hassle and even then it will just do it again. Avoid this machine and Sunbeam.

Throes safety switch every time

published

Bought one and as soon as you pour a shot the safety switch (earth leakage) in the fuse box activated. Took it back and got it replaced with another one but it's the same, as soon as it comes up to pressure the safety switch activates. They want me to bring it back and try a third but I think I'll get something else

Hello Anthony,
Sorry about that, I didn't see the edits you had made to your original comment. I only had seen your LED display inquiry, I will contact our service agent and will have that approved for you.

Failure

published

A few years back I purchased this machine from Harvey Norman. I was so excited but was short lived
No pressure was told the grind then the temper.so I enrolled in 2 coffee making courses and was.great.
I tried 3 Torino machines now I own one fantastic Expo Bar no issues what so ever
I think sunbeam needs to look further into the machine
Torino could in the future be a great machine
Was this machine an old model from another maker?

Tania W.

Tania W.asked

Hello - Suddenly my Torino seems to be struggling with the extraction. Only pushes out a slow trickle of coffee. We did recently change beans but not the grind level. Any suggestions?

Change the grind size to coarser and/or tamp with less force. Freshness of beans and other bean characteristics can greatly affect extraction.

Hi our Sunbeam Torino STEAM WAND isn’t working at all, it seems to be trying to pump but nothing comes out. Everything else is working fine tho.
I’ve tried both cleaning programs and still nothing.
I have heard this is common problem, is there anyway of resolving this issue or does it need to be repaired ?
Thanks

Have you tried unscrewing the tip and giving the hole a clean? There is a tool for this next to the water jug.
