Re: Sunbeam EM0480 - Dead after 2 weeks use
Thanks for the replies guys.
Either way, I wont be keeping it - its let me down once too many times. Having a dead grinder on a public holiday when I cant buy a replacement is a stark reminder that you get what you pay for.
If anyone knows of anywhere in Sydney that is open today where I could buy a decent grinder, let me know. A rocky is an obvious choice.

Re: Sunbeam EM0480 - Dead after 2 weeks use
If it is the Motor.. Then I believe it is covered for greater than 2 years...Originally posted by 7C67667130383A30080 link=1254658748/0#0 date=1254658748My Sunbeam EM0480 started to make some strange noises today - like the revs of a car slowing down before it finally stalls...and then it just stopped.
I opened it up, unblocked any coffee that was in and around the burr and the shaft itself, but nothing - dead as a doornail.
Does anyone know where Sunbeam are likely to replace it for me or will I they send it away to be repaired?
To be honest I wont be keeping it either way. I really think its piece of cheap plastic rubbish and makes a hell of a mess, but I would like to recoup some of my money on ebay (or on CS).
Thanks tony
I have not yet seen or heard of one failing... But its an electronic piece of equipment and NO manufacturer is 100%.
In addition, if the bean hopper is not in correctly it can cause all sorts of problems as it manages teh safety interlock..
Just be aware... That I have seen one example where A stone/piece of metal got caught and that did cause some damage and the motor stooped.. Thought that may have been a over current protecting but the owner was a Forum hit and run and never returned to explain what happened...
If a straight fail, then SB will replace... If a stone or other item has caused the problem ?????
Actually they needed a 3rd model with the extra issue of burr carriers... Thus a 0480 and 0450 and 0490 (I wish)Originally posted by 4346494E424B0A544649270 link=1254658748/2#2 date=1254692532It really is a shame Sunbeam didnt put a tiny bit more effort into this grinder. If it had metal burr carriers and better QA Im sure people would pay an extra $100 for it.
Other wise it puts it up into the Rocky ball park in the $$$ values. AT $150 - $190 it is ideally placed in teh market...

Take it back to the retailer ASAP and have it exchanged
They will deal with the return paperwork
