Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 52 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported that products frequently broke down or were defective shortly after purchase, leading to frustration and a sense that items were not built to last. Reviewers also consistently found the customer service to be unhelpful, rude, or unresponsive when issues arose, often feeling the company did not stand behind its products. Furthermore, the warranty process was a significant source of dissatisfaction, with many consumers being charged substantial shipping fees for replacements or finding the warranty itself to be ineffective. Some people also felt that product design had flaws, such as inaccurate dials, inconvenient plug placement, or overly bright displays, contributing to a poor overall user experience.

The Hamilton Beach warranty makes a mockery of us the consumer. Weeks of back and forth emails to rectify a leaky coffee maker on warranty, and now they want me to pay $40 shipping costs to get a rep... See more

Awful customer service

Awful customer service- they make it very hard to get in touch with to receive assistance. I have an issue with my slow cooker so I called their customer service number. There's no option to speak with a person, so I went on their website to fill out a form. It wouldn't submit and said it was blocked by a firewall- I have never received a message like that before. There isn't any option to email them either. My only option is to send them a letter! Is this 1976??? Horrible customer service

Worst Customer Service that Doesn't Live Up to its Name

Called (800)851-8900 (printed on the Coffee Maker 46290 User Manual, as the number to reach "our friendly associates"). Only reached an auto answering message telling me to go to their web site. Called another Hamilton Beach Customer Service phone no. (877)474-1122 I found on the internet. Got the same ridiculous auto message and never reached a soul.

Manufacturer warranty department is horrendous

Bought a mini fridge back in Sept 2020 for a gift for my inlaws where it stopped working as of December but wasn't aware since it was a gift. Once I knew about it I contacted Galanz North America, their warranty department. First agent gave me the wrong instructions which was cut the cord of the appliance and mail it in. Sent over all the required documents and pictures within the same day for the second correct set of instructions. Quoted 8-10 weeks for turn around time on a cheque. At 6-7 weeks I called for an update to see if it was sent. First agent said to wait a few more days and then call back if still no update and request for a manager. Of course no call back so I called again. This agent was fighting with me and would not transfer me to a supervisor until I pretty much lost it. Talked to a supervisor named Leonard and he was helpful and understanding. After a few hours received an email saying that the accounting department was sending out a cheque and that it would arrive on July 16. Long behold still no cheque. Called 07/22 and asked for update and agent said she couldn't see anything and that I would get a call back from management within 24hrs. Hey it's been 24 hours no call back so of course I have to call back. Reached an agent and said all supervisors are busy with an agent and recommended I try and call back again. What kind of joke is this I was suppose to be called back but wasn't and now a suggestion to call back again on the call back because the warranty department loves not doing their job and thinks people don't have things to do with their lives. Coming from someone that really loves and supports Hamilton Beach products they definitely did not retain this customer. Almost all of my appliances are by them. On a good day when things don't break down and you don't need customer service, then you're golden. But god forbid you need anything especially from the warranty department, you are on your own. It will be a long and painful ride.

I brought a toaster oven from these low lives. and when I contacted them about, they told me I sent the wrong info. I sent the info again and they told me I sent the wrong info again. They told me that so I can give up and stop contacting them. They are the worst. And to the person who said there customer service was good they're full of crap. These creeps should not be in business and should be shut down for life. Fuccc Hamilton 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕✌✌🤟

What an absolute POS

What an absolute POS! Bought 49904, a combo pod & cafe coffee maker. Absolute junk. There’s $100 bucks well spent! Avoid Hamilton beach at all cost. Crap is probably made in China!

Great customer service

Great customer service! There was a problem with my bread machine, and they honoured my warrantee and gave me a whole new bread machine and they covered shipping! It was a pleasant experience, they were very helpful.

I have to agree with everyone else…

I have to agree with everyone else about the poor service. You don't get to speak with anybody only by email. We sent a commercial blender in for repair under warranty paying for the postage, and they sent it back saying it was working fine. We would not have sent it in if it had been working correctly.

10 cup chopper - issue resolved quickly

I have a 10 cup chopper and one of plastic part (food pusher) got cracked after few uses. Contacted customer serivice line however, it was not in service due to covid. Contacted customer service online by filling out a form for warranty service. They got back in 2 hours to my email and asked for purchase receipt and some more clarifying questions. Upon email response they are now sending me the replacement including free shipping ( which is generally not the case). I liked the service and it meets my expectations.

Response on March 3, 2021 - Since, this unit is out of stock, we ask that you please visit our website and select another model of equal or lesser value ($94.99) that will suit your needs.
I refused to pick a lower model.
Hamilton response on 15th March,2021 - Since you have opted to wait for the appliance to become available, we are unable to process the claim until the unit is back in stock.
In this case, we ask that please check back with us in the next 6-8 weeks, to confirm availability. Also, be sure to keep your appliance, as we are unable to process claims if the appliance is not in your possession.
Hamilton on 16th April, 2021 - Unfortunately, models 70730C and 70580C are currently out of stock. At this time, a replenishment date has not been confirmed for this appliance. If you prefer to wait until this appliance has been replenished, we ask that you please check back within the next 6 to 8 weeks for further details and logistics.
If you prefer to choose a different appliance, we ask that you please visit our website and select another model of equal or lesser value ($94.99) that will suit your needs.
ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED AFTER ALL THIS TIME. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT. I UNDERSTAND IT IS COVID-19 BUT THIS IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH.

Do not support this company, they dont stand by their products!

We purchased a microwave from Wal-Mart not long ago, the light bulb burned out. No one makes this lightbulb and since we were out of the warranty we could not replace the bulb. Customer Service refused to help us with our problem and said to get a new microwave. When I asked to speak to someone else, they became very defiant and refused to help with anything. Will never buy another product from this company again.

Disappointing customer service

We bought a Hamilton Beach ice make through Costco online. We liked the ice maker very much but it stopped working. From the Hamilton Beach Canada website, I leaned that the item has a five year warranty. Contacted Hamilton Beach twice by email no reply. Costco has also not be helpful.

Terrible brand and customer service.

Terrible brand and customer service.
Panini bread maker stopped working after purchase. They offered to replace it and referred to their website. The only one on the site was discontinued. The other items for the same price were unavailable. Problem unresolved. Will never buy this brand again.

This is a first for me

This is a first for me! I bought 1 of there microwaves 2 years ago & it still works great except the fact that the bottom now has holes in it from it rusting! For weeks I couldn't figure out why it kept turning brown on the turntable wheels & all the way around. I would wash it & it would be gone & it would be back the next day. So we went to move it & discovered it had rusted from the bottom up! VERY DISSAPOINTED! I know its 2 years old but how often does the body give out before the motor? I feel it should have lasted longer & will not be buying another HB product!

Thank you!

I had received a slow cooker as a gift and it stopped working after a few months. I contacted customer service and they said they would need us to send it back to receive a new one. My husband had unknowingly throw it in the trash so I didn’t even respond back. Well a couple weeks later I received a new one. I’m not sure if that was on purpose or on accident but thanks Hamilton Beach! What a nice surprise. 🙂
