i don't own any sunbeam products, so i'm not sure i can help. i can tell you that i'm not personally opposed to them.
as far as appealing to someone like me, who doesn't own a sunbeam product, would be to have a consistent look- if the waffle iron comes in chrome finish, then the blender should, and so should a microwave, as well as the toaster.
and of course price point is key- i would expect to pay a little more for a toaster in chrome, than the identical toaster in say black plastic. of course the price shouldn't be considerably more than the identical toaster in a different trim, and i would expect it to be roughly on par with it's competitors.
packaging usually isn't an issue with cooking products, for me at least. stores generally have a floor/shelf model out. as long as it's attractive and gets the job done.
