Pros: Can make bread as often and unique as I would like, while saving $.
Cons: User manual.
Summary: Why is the Sunbeam 5891 Bread Maker better than sliced bread? Because it makes so much more than bread! I have been tickled pink with my Sunbeam 5891 Bread Maker. This is the second machine I have purchased from Sunbeam. Why I chose the ... read more

Pros: great price
many options
readily available
Cons: questionable durability
lower-power mixing
Summary: This was my second bread maker and I used it about three times a week for over a year and a half. It worked perfectly, made greta bread (except for the few times that I didn't quite get the recipe right.)Since I haven't used many other ... read more

Pros: Price!!, good learning tool for a novice
Cons: bake cycle a bit long, provided recipes incorrect
Summary: The Sunbeam 591 is my first bread machine and there has been a significant learning curve in making good bread. I used up 5 bags of flour before I started to figure out the tricks. But I have had it now for a year and once I learned the tricks, my bread ... read more

Pros: easy to use, cheap, house smells like bakery,
Cons: I gained weight from eating too much bread.
Summary: I moved to the US from Europe and I am deeply in love with this country and its inhabitants. The only thing I cannot stand is American bread. It is a biggest wonder for me why to make bread you need to include 50 ingredients and why it tastes so awful. ... read more

Pros: Cheap
Numerous settings
Availability
Cons: Poor construction
Pan shape odd
Summary: I paid $58 for the Sunbeam 5891 bread maker at walmart. I bought this because it was the cheapest bread maker I could find. I got it home and the first thing I did was make a regular loaf of white bread. The machine is rather bulky and takes up a lot of ... read more

Pros: Price, makes good bread, "forgiving"
Cons: Baking pan leaked after 4 months
Summary: I bought the 5891-33 and 4 months later the baking pan started leaking so had to send to nearest supply depot(200 miles) (@ my expense; about $15. postage). Store where I bought it only warrantied for 30 days; next time I'll check that out before buying ... read more

Pros: Made a real good loaf of bread first use. Simple controls, it works (No Frills)
Cons: No back lighted screen, very poor manual, non-programmable, no pause mode
Summary: My Breadman TR2500BC died read that report for more information. Replaced it today with the Sunbeam 5891. Ok it is simple to use, no user defined menus, book sucks big time. Doesn't give times of cycles except basic one only. So if you want to ... read more

Pros: Ease of use.
Cons: The recipe book that came with it. Size.
Summary: I normally make bread by hand because I always assumed it was just as easy as using a bread machine. I was given this Sunbeam bread machine as a gift and at first I wasn't excited about it. Once I made my first load, everything changed. This bread ... read more

Pros: simple,cheap,easy clean-up,saves loads of time in the kitchen.
Cons: back-light on display, clip holding shaft could be tougher, more recipes in instruction book.
Summary: Just dump in the ingredients push a button and a couple of hours later you have fresh bread ,my wife said . No-way it can't be that simple ,well I was wrong again. It has been about two months now, and after over two dozen loaves I still can't believe ... read more

Pros: loaf pops right out!
Cons: top collapses, HARD crust, poor manual
Summary: This is my second bread maker (my Regal lasted 10 yrs!) and finally broke. I immediately went out to get a new one, and the price sold me. Initially I bought an Oster, but the cover did not close properly, so I returned it for this model. They are nearly ... read more

Pros: Cheap, efficient, great bread.
Cons: Not enough recipes included, rambling owner's manual.
Summary: I posted a negative review on another bread machine last week and went out and purchased the Sunbeam. I have to admit, I was really apprehensive about buying Sunbeam from Wal-Mart but after having awful luck with my previous machine, I decided to give ... read more

Pros: I would recommend the Sunbeam 5891 Bread Maker to any who likes fresh bread.
Cons: None.
Summary: We received a Sunbeam 5891 Bread Maker as a Christmas present about one year ago. My husband and I received it from a family member who knew my husband had been making different types of bread in our oven. I must say he had varied degrees of success. ... read more

Pros: Quick, easy to use, easy to clean, price
Cons: It broke, have no idea why

Pros: Cheap. Long lasting. Selectable loaf size and color.
Cons: Instruction book could be better but with the internet you can get past that.
Summary: I bought this about a year ago and make about 3-4 loaves a week. It had some wobble issues on my unlevel counter but a piece of cardboard fixed that right up. This really is a good machine for the money. I would recommend it to anyone who likes fresh ... read more

Pros: Does a great job at an amazingly low price
Cons: Terrible manual
Summary: I'd like to just echo the aggregate Internet opinion of this machine: It does a great job and is amazing value for the price, but the manual is terrible. I first tried their recipe for French bread and it came out with a sunken top and a mealy, heavy ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive. OK for gift when you think the recipient will not use it much.
Cons: Unacceptably weak kneading process.
Summary: The Sunbeam 5891 has a weak motor that kneads the bread far less effectively than two other breadmakers I have used. I had a Sears Kenmore private labeled breadmaker that was very similar to the present Breadman TR2500 for 4 years, making 1-2 loaves a ... read more

Pros: nice price
nice size pan
easy to use
Cons: rambling directions
LCD does not light up
color setting
Summary: I am not much into baking and I am not really a person who spends a lot of time in the kitchen. However, I do like the smell of fresh bread and I like to make bread now and then. I had an old bread machine that was cruddy and disgusting from all ... read more

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to follow instructions, easy clean up.
Cons: None at this time.
Summary: Having never made a loaf of bread in my life, I chose the Sunbeam 5891 based on the price and how user friendly it seemed to be. Purchased it at Wal-Mart for under $40, took it home and promptly made a loaf of Hawaiian sweet bread. I had a recipe that ... read more

Pros: Works very well and was an excellent value. Much better than expected.
Cons: Recipe book is sub-par.
Summary: I've had my 5891 about three weeks. My wife and I were going to consider getting one for Christmas, but when we discovered that Amazon would deliver one for a total price of less than $40, we decided not to wait. This is bread machine number four for ... read more

Pros: easy to operate, clean, and store. The price of the item was cheap
Cons: bread pan kneading mechanism failed after 18 months
Summary: the Sunbeam 5891 was a Air Mile award item for me - so I did not lay out much cash for it. Which is the good news. It lasted 18 months at a usage rate of once per week. Pretty simple to work almost like bread making for
