Hamilton Beach PS XL White ToasterOvenBroiler

Toaster oven Boiler
It is the right size, came on time and real nice when you don't want to fire your big oven up. Makes crispier than a microwave. Everyone needs one.

As advertised!
This is a great product. We bought it for a small office and we are enjoying it immensely. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a toaster oven.

Really needed this toaster Oven.
I needed this toaster oven and the size is just perfect for my countertop. I really only wanted it for toasting but have used it also for warming and small pizzas. I would recommend this to anyone who wants the convenience of a toaster that not only toasts but also warms and bakes.

Hamilton Beach Brands 24203 4-Slice Toaster With Auto Shut-Off, White - Quantity 2 Toaster, Four Slice

great four slice toaster
I bought for my mom to replace the same model from years before. The old toaster had to go when the cord started getting hot to the touch when operating, but it was at least 7 years old and given the price that seems like a great investment. That older Proctor Silex toaster was bought to replace one from a different brand that cost twice as much and lasted only 8 months before breaking down completely. This toaster does stay cool and I like the push-button feature to make the toast pop up. Nothing fancy here, just a good functional toaster with a history of reliability in our kitchen.

It's A Toaster
Seriously, this is a nice toaster. Exterior stays cool to the touch when in use and the dials for setting "toast preference" are truly sensitive so you can toast right on target. Great for baegals.

Great Little Toaster
Have had this for about a month now. Works really well, at least as well as the $60 unit that it is replacing-As long as it lasts more than a couple of years I will consider this toaster a best buy.

Hamilton Beach 40729 Espresso/Cappuccino Maker with Pod Holder

Good machine + good price = Great deal!
I've used this machine for two years now, and would buy it again in an instant. I'll add these comments to those previously written:

* Crema varies with coffee bean; shiney fresh beans give more crema and have more (but subtle) flavors. I don't get the best crema with Starbucks beans. Peets is great though, so is Nicholas. Even the generic beans ($5/lb when on sale at the local grocer) work OK. Remember, these espresso machines extract more flavor from coffee beans (than perk or drip machines); it's the nature of the pressure (vs temperature) process.

* For a great double shot (actually, 4 oz), I fill the fresh-grounds filter to level (not heaping) with whole beans, grind them for 8 seconds in a cheapo spice grinder, and tamp them (not too hard, not too soft). The tamped grounds come up almost to the #2 line in the filter. I run the pump for 30 seconds after liquid starts coming out of the nozzel. The machine has been turned on and heating for only about...

Perfect (for me)
Ok, so here was my conundrum. I'm a soldier deployed to Iraq and during midtour leave visited Italy and became addicted to espresso. I drank it over there many times a day and really liked the effects. The bad news is that I had to come back to Iraq for 7 more months and I'm too lazy to walk to the Greenbeans Coffee Shop (yep, we have one) and I didn't really want to pay .75*6=4.50 every day. So, I knew I had to get a machine.

Now, given that I am in Iraq, the main things that I wanted were convenience and easy to clean. Given that I'm too lazy to walk to 50 or so yards to the bathroom to clean the thing, pretty much I have to rely mostly on water bottles.

I'm not a huge coffee snob and I just learned about crema, so quality might not be a consideration.

I bought this model, paid the exorbitant shipping costs and I've had it about a week. I seriously don't see any negatives. I am surprised to read other reviews about the temperature because my...

Works fine for me!
I'm not sure what the below reviewer is complaining about with the machine's heating element. I've had this for two weeks now and have made many great tasting cappucinos with it (I don't like straight espresso).

The espresso shots come out perfectly hot (but not too hot) and the steamer froths and steams milk beautifully. My only gripe with the steamer is that I need to run it once, let it heat up again and then run it through a second time in order to get my desired results. The whole process is no more than a minute or so which is very tolerable considering the price.

I had read reviews on other sites that mentioned that this machine (actually an older model) did not produce decent crema. Well, I had no experience with making espresso in the past (I'm a home roaster for regular coffee) but my first try produced a great cup of espresso with a nice caramel colored froth on top. And this came from store bought, pre-ground espresso coffee!

Cleanup...

Clear center cap for the lid of Hamilton Beach blender jars.

Blending the drinks
This item fit my old Hamilton Beach blender perfectly. Now we can have our margaritas again!

Great replacement, works fine
This is a great replacement for our Hamilton Beach blender. The old cap was cracking and this works nice. Price is good too.

Blender jar cap
It fit just right and it saved me the trouble and cost of buying a whole new blender. I love it.

Hamilton Beach 33132 3-Quart Slow Cooker - White

Great basic cooker in a nice shape and size
I searched high and low through tons of reviews and manufacturers' sites to find this one. First and foremost, I gave precedence to the Hamilton Beach/Proctor Silex brand for the manufacturer's claims to zero heavy metals in the crockery. Also, there have been so many issues cited with poor quality and short life span on the glass, gaskets, electronics and overall manufacturing integrity of small appliances lately that I am hoping that foregoing as many of the bells and whistles as possible will make for a long, simple, unobstrusive life on this thing. This arrived quickly and apparently intact. My husband, mother and I have all tried it out and so far found the settings and temp controls so intuitive and reliable that it's grand appearance on the countertop has quickly faded into the mundane workings of every day life. As it should be!.. an appliance that actually works for us instead of the other way around. It's a nice size for smaller dishes but we've also managed a small,...

Nice size!
In looking to downsize in the kitchen, I was looking for a smaller crock pot since I only cook for 2 most days. And this fit the bill to a T! It's just big enough to put a whole chicken in or a roast in if the kids come over or to make a one pot meal for the hubby and me. And the smaller size works good for storage and ease of cleanup. The lid fits perfectly and the first time I used it I knew I had what I was looking for.....it worked great!

Hamilton Beach 64698 Power Deluxe Hand/Stand Mixer Black

Compact
This mixer failed after only 5 months of use. Since it was out of Amazon's 30 day replacement time frame I had to contact Hamilton Beach directly and send it back to them for repair or replacement. Fortunately I had the good sense to send it back to Hamilton Beach via UPS with a delivery signature required since Hamilton Beach claimed they never received the package from UPS. After 4 months and numerous phone calls informing them of the name of the employee who signed for the package, Hamilton Beach finally replaced my mixer, a full 6 months after receiving their defective one back. The replacement they sent is not a sturdy mixer, the motor is not heavy duty and body is flimsy. I am not satisfied with this mixer or this company, and do not recommend them or their mixers.

Broke the first time I used it
I bought this to make my Thanksgiving Mashed Potatoes. I'm not a huge cooker, and the price here on Amazon was awesome. It arrived on Wednesday. I opened it, washed the pieces, and set it up. Today, Thanksgiving, I emptied my mashed potatoes into the bowl and began mixing. It moved nicely, and I am grateful for the stand - it is my first. However, while pushing the potatoes down with a lightweight plastic spatula, it briefly got caught in one of the beaters. The piece holding the beater was broken. The entire item, with the exception of the bowl, is now trash.

Since it arrived in working order, I will not be returning it to Amazon, but I wanted to alert future buyers that this item is cheaply made. I have been cooking using hand mixers for more than 30 years and have never had this happen. The plastic holding the beaters is obviously VERY cheaply made.

I fell for the price. Give it a pass.

NOT Good As Stand Mixer (Okay As Hand Mixer)
I bought this item with the hope that it would free my hands to add ingredients and mix simultaneously and also to knead doughs, but the base and motor are simply not strong enough to rotate the bowl without help (I basically have to rotate the bowl manually), and doughs climb the "dough hook" and strain the motor. However, it does work okay as a hand mixer for non-dough mixes, and the glass bowl is very sturdy, but do NOT buy it to use as a stand mixer.

Hamilton Beach HB 350 Watt Juice Extractor 67800

great machine for the price
I got this juicer at a thrift store the other day.. and we have been happily juicing ever since!

if you don't have a lot of money to spend, or if you are not sure you will use a juicer much, or if you need a lightweight unit to take traveling or to college, i would highly recommend this unit. it is easy to clean, relatively compact, and - guess what - it juices! yes, you could get a better juicer, but i think for the price it is a great buy. I consider it the toyota of juicers: i'd love the BMW, but i can only afford the toyota, and they will both get me to where i need to be.

i took off one star because the feed tube is small, so you do have to cut items to fit. so.. that takes about another 30 seconds out of my day.

really a great little machine!

Good quality for price point
This is my first juicer and it does the job. It is very easy to clean (just rinse with warm water!). I just don't really like the small feeder. Aside from that, good quality for the price. I would recommend it for those who are new to juicing and do not want to spend a lot of money.

It's been a great little juicer!
I've had this juicer forever, at least it seems like forever, it's actually been about 8 years or so and it's still serving me well. I re-juice my pulp and am always left with very little waste. I lost the food pusher and recently bought a new juicer and didn't like it, so I am giving the new one to my mom and I am going to replace the food pusher on mine instead of buying a newer juicer. :)

Hamilton Beach 24502 Digital 4 Slice Toaster

Hamilton Beach Digital 4 Toast Toaster
I purchased this Hamilton Beach toaster last year and was very happy with it for the first 4 months untill the digital eliments on the right side went out. Hamilton Beach customer service was happy to send me a new toaster if I cut off the plug on the older toaster and sent it in along with shipping charges. Three weeks later I recieved my new toaster. It lasted 2 months before the same digital eliments went out again. Hamilton again agreed to replace it and at my request send a non digital toaster. The customer service was very good but the toaster just didn't hold up.

Not worth purchasing
I was given this toaster for a birthday gift- it lasted exactly 2 months and the left side just completely went out. I asked about having it serviced and it would cost about the same as a new toaster cost. I would skip this toaster and get one that would last at least 6 months

non-lasting - 24502 HB 4 slice toaster
I purchased this model for it's appearance and name brand which I thought meant Quality. As another has written, the first toaster,(does that tell you anything?), lasted about 4 months then the the right side digital stopped working. That was the side that was used the least. After doing as HB customer service directed , cut off the plug and send the $5.99. I received a replacement toaster which lasted about another 6 months. I did not want to continue having to deal with this and bought a different brand but still digital, which has not given me any problems. I think this model has some serious quality issues and HB should either fix them or stop selling this model.

Hamilton Beach lid for GLASS blender jars.

DOES NOT FIT...WASTED MONEY!
I needed this part and bought it because the seller claimed it fits most models of blenders. It does nto fit mine. Did not bother trying to return it and get a refund as it would probably cost me as much to do so as I spent on the original purchase price & shipping. LESSON LEARNED...next time go direct to the company that makes your product!!!!!

PERFECT FIT
My wife broke her jar and ended up throwing away both the lid and center piece. I purchased both of them for the price of a new blender. Oh well!

Works well
Yes, one could buy a new blender for not much more but this works fine without the guilt of adding more to our landfill. You will feel good about helping save our planet.
