Hamilton Beach - Flexbrew-Expensive Junk
I purchased a HB Flexbrew ( Model 49997R, Series G1261CE) in August of 2016 at Wal Mart. It worked well until last week of December of 2016 when it failed to push water through the machine.
It began to have problems when it would not fill the cup on occasion. As time went on, the problem became constant to the point that the brew tank would not empty and the machine shut down. I did some diagnostics, found the unit had no deposits and powered the 12 volt pump and found the pump motor was shot and would not produce pressure. The unit is cheaply made and the electrical connections to the brew tank are less than I would have expected.
From the looks of the construction it took less than $8 to manufacture in my opinion. In my opinion, HB puts out a poor product for the low end market, that will last just long enough.
HB gets paid and the consumer takes it in the shorts. I will stay away from Hamilton Beach, they are no longer the brand name they used to be.
Reason of review: Other issue.
Monetary Loss: $40.
Preferred solution: At least ship me a replacement or some coupons..
