Wedding Reviews

I am in the eletronic business and the WATTS is not what your looking for. This HB mixer is a piece of garbage in my opinion. I tested them both and the kitchen Aid KILLED that HB. Plus if the HB is soo great then why do all the restaurants and cooking schools use KITCHEN AID? Because it's a fact there the best and thats all there is to it.My grandma has had hers for 65 years and used it in bakeries, she still uses it for tought duties and it has only had to be oiled ONCE.Lets see a HB try that!

I've been wanting a stand mixer for a few years now. My husband bought me this one for Christmas, and I love it. I just finished making a batch of cookies and a cheesecake for the New Year. It worked great! Very quiet, and if the mixer did slow down, I did what the instructions said to do-turn it up to the next speed! I did find a little of the batter at the bottom of the bowl that did not mix. I simply scraped the bowl like I usually do, and everything turned out fine. And as someone else mentioned, I too would like to buy other bowls. That was the only problem I encountered.

I love to bake and about a year ago friends and family talked me into opening a small bakery. I only do special orders and I usually make cakes and cookies. I got this mixer and I love it. I use it 4-5 times a week. I started out making small layer cakes but I have recently made a few wedding cakes and this mixer is amazing. I did notice that they attachments don't always get everything off the bottom of the bowl but it is not a big deal I just scrape it up with a spatula. I would recommend this mixer to anyone who loves to bake. If I can make a professional looking and tasting wedding cake with this mixer I know it can handle making baked good for your family. It is well worth the price!!

I have exchanged this coffeemaker 3 times and am now going to have to spend more money to find a different brand. The first machine I had leaked horribly and the seal that dispenses the coffee wouldn't close resulting in me getting up in the morning to find a whole pot of coffee all over my counter and floor. This happened on several occasions. The second exchanged machine had the digital display go out so you could not set it to program or know the time of day. The 3rd machine I brought home had the digital display go out again after 4 months. The concept and design is great, however the bugs need to be worked out. The other thing is the brewed coffee container stains horribly and is very difficult to clean and I clean mine every morning. You have to be gentle with it so the seal is undisturbed. I also bought the gold permanent filter basket made to go with the machine and it caused major leaking from the top of the compartment and coffee that was full of grounds. I also spoke to Hamilton Beach concerning my problems and they had a very oh well, too bad attitude. I am now looking into a Braun or Mellita.

I was really looking forward to owning this coffee maker, but am very disappointed in it. First, the clock started shutting itself off and when I would try to reset it, the numbers would only be half there. I would have to unplug it and leave it unplugged for 5 minutes or so. Now I'm afraid to leave it plugged in over night, which makes the extra money I paid to have the model with the timer a waste! Then, it stopped keeping the coffee warm for more than a half hour. Then, the coffee wouldn't even be warm while it was brewing. Now, it's started leaking all over my counter. I have to keep a cup under it. I've only had this model for about 2 months. The problems started immediately! It's going back to the store tomorrow! I'm giving it 2 stars because it's a great concept. But, Hamilton Beach should have tested and perfected it before putting it on the market. What a hassle!

I can't believe the number of people having trouble with this coffee maker. It's very easy to operate and maintain and the coffee tastes fine. It's not that much bigger as a standard maker (as one review stated it was too big). It would be nice to have a lifetime free pass at Starbucks, but until then, I think the HB Brew Station is tops for convienent coffee.
