Title: Carafe Hinge Problem
Product review: I researched the reviews for coffeemakers quite extensively and decided on the Hamilton Beach 43254 because of cost and fairly good product reviews. Within two weeks of use the carafe hinge that holds the top for pouring had broken.I have spoken with Hamilton Beach and they will replace the carafe - although the consumer representative informed me that the model I purchased had been manufactured in 2009! Two years later I am buying it on Amazon.com. I am pleased with the response from Hamilton Beach but would have rathered the hinge not broken so quickly in the first place. As always I agree buyer beware! and reading the reviews can only get you so far in your selection.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
