Sunbeam, in the mid-20th century, was king of the kitchen. I have, and still use routinely, a c. 1960 Sunbeam CG-1 waffle iron. But only because the thermostat on my even older Sunbeam W2 gave out. I admit that I tend to use my full-size Kenwood stand mixer instead of the Sunbeam Mixmaster Jr that's in the drawer, though that still works.
