I bought this because it’s not your average boring toaster. I like the slant and it is heavy which I think is a plus because it stays where you want it. It toasts evenly. So far no problems.
why doesn't it work now?

I recently received this toaster hamilton beach eclectrics I hate it. Its not what I thought I was getting. Its huge and weighs a ton.
The color is beautiful and it works ok not great,just not what I thought I ordered. I thought it was a flat top toaster but it has a slanted top.
I was told by amazon that all hamilton beach toasters are like the one I got. I ordered other appliances to go with the toaster so
I am stuck with it. Too bad. I won’t being buying anything else from Amazon ever.
I bought this toaster after reading the reviews here. I was not disapointed. I like it. I gave it 4 stars because of the height and that crumbs get caught in the exterior grove around the top. Other than that it toasts very nicely and the slots are large. Toasts fat bagels without getting stuck. Finish is nice.
This is an all metal toaster with a very clever setting for bagels; you can toast only the cut side of the bagel! It looks great on the counter and matched the black coloring of our other appliances. But after one week the hold down lever failed and the bread wouldn’t stay in the toaster. Fortunately it was not difficult to return. I bought a Sunbeam for $9.99 and it works well.
Wife loves it. I love it. Solid (all metal) and very easy to use. Very consistent results. Impressed with the metal baffles between heating elements and food which even out heat. Only time will tell how durable it is (have only had it 2 months).
I had this coffee pot for just over a year. It functioned consistently well up until that point. I liked how fast it brewed coffee and the ability to pull the pot out while brewing to pour a cup, but you can get these features with a lot of coffee pots out there. My biggest complaint up until it broke was that the plastic around the glass carafe easily stained and was a pain to keep up with.
After the coffee brews, there is two hours until it automatically shuts off. What happend with mine is that after two hours the little red light would shut off, but the pot remained on and kept heating the coffee. It had to be unplugged after using for safety, and that was kind of a deal breaker with me! It would not have been appreciated if I had gone off for vacation and had the pot remain on while I was gone.
I feel that this coffee pot is way over-priced for the amount of use I got out of it and I will not be buying this brand again. If you already own one, keep this electrical problem in mind.
We ordered this coffee pot Dec 3rd, to be told by Today’s concepts that they have to go through the manufacturer Hamilton Beach to get it. Well, Hamilton Beach already told me that it is discontinued. The problem is that Today’s Concepts, Amazon and Foto Connection are advertising that they have this product in Apple color, but once you order it, you’ll find out they don’t. They are all going through Hamilton Beach who doesn’t make it any more. It’s a waste of time. Just and FYI for you all.
I wanted an all metal coffee maker, not one with plastic in all the areas that contact the water. I really feel it is unfair advertising to have this allowed to call itself all metal.
I am concerned, as many others, with heated water contacting plastic surfaces as heat causes leaching of many chemicals.
I replaced a Cuisinart which is much quieter. This pot is very noisy.The Cuisinart chimes when it is finished brewing. On this, when the noise finally stops, it is done. It is awkward to fill. I did not keep the box or I would have returned it.
It is nice looking,especially in the blue.
I bought this item 2 years ago….banana yellow with the toaster to match. Very heavy, looked very sturdy and I thought this would be the coffemaker I would have for years. We make coffee only once a day, on most days of the week. The heating element pooped out 6 months after our purchase. O.K., the company made good and sent us another one, it was under warranty. It lasted 1 year of light use, and the heating element went out on us again…..lukewarm coffee, and the enamel paint was peeling just above the hot plate. It bubbled up and flaked off in big pieces to reveal the bare metal beneath it. I am very disappointed to have spent $130. + dollars on this item. Last week we bought a new coffemaker for $69., and I threw the other one out. Don’t waste your money……2 coffemakers and the element went on both of them. I only hope our toaster lasts……
I just used my new blender for the first time, but having been used to using a blender with a very weak motor, I must have not put enough ice in the mix… because after 20 seconds of blending, the ice disappeared. Completely gone. I was left with nothing but liquid! So I poured out half my liquid and added more ice – and after 10 seconds of blending I got “the perfect margarita.” I love my new blender! Now that I’ve got a handle on the power this thing has, I can’t wait to make perfect margaritas (with plenty of ice) every time. The best part is that this blender has a very small footprint and fits easily in my cupboard assembled, taking up half the space of my old blender!
I got this blender two weeks ago and have been using it to make milkshakes. It works very well, but sometimes you need to blend twice to make sure all the fruit lumps have moved around and been blended. Upsides: it’s stylish, matches my toaster, and the whole thing feels good quality. The jug is made of nice heavy glass and the blender is sturdy. It’s also not too noisy. Downsides: it’s expensive. I bought it as a visual treat for myself, so if you just need something that does the job, you might be better off with something cheaper. If you need something super-fancy that makes bar quality margaritas, pls read some of the other reviews…Re seller: this blender is actually available in several colors from various different vendors for vastly different prices, i.e. this is not the only entry in the Amazon catalog. I recommend doing a specific search on the blender, and seeing what comes up. Also, I recommend getting the one shipped by Amazon/Target. Some of the other reviews weren’t very happy with the other sellers and I read most of them. So this is something to keep in mind.
I bought this for my sister and she is most pleased with the turn knob as opposed to buttons. She also says it’s great for clean-up with fewer pieces. Powerful yet quiet. When it’s time to replace mine I’ll definitely purchase this model.
I’ve long been on a quest for the perfect blender–this is my fifth one in the past three years (RIP, one Magic Bullet, two Hamilton Beach single-serves, and one Back to Basics Express). I use it every day to make a breakfast smoothie using frozen fruit, so I’m tough on blenders. I chose this one because unlike most other inexpensive models, it has a much more powerful motor; 500W vs. 175-350W. I’ve been using it for about a month, and am mostly pleased. The biggest problem I have with this blender is its tendency to push things up rather than around; I often have to stop it and stick a spoon down into the smoothie to pop the air bubble that forms around the blades, causing them to spin ineffectively, and when the mixture is more liquid, it tends to slosh rather than blending smoothly. But it does make short work of the frozen fruit, so that’s a big plus.
The plastic thing that is supposed to make it easier to add product is highly overrated. Also the splatter guard gets in the way when you are trying to scrape the sides of the bowl. Throw them away and you have a great mixer.
I really enjoy using this mixer. It has enough power and is not loud at all. Easy to use. Love it!!
