    I have bought my last Hamilton Beach microwave. This is at least my third one and something has gone wrong with each one of them in a short period of time. Smelling like it’s burning, smoking, holding moisture between door panels, and the turntable not turning properly and rusting under glass. Save your money and buy a better quality product.

    I ordered direct from Hamilton Beach and they sent me used/opened box products. The company does not have a usable customer service line and they ignored me until I filed a BBB complaint. Their offer to resolve was I send it back and eventually their engineers would look at the items and then if they agreed the dented, smudged, scratched up products were indeed used, they would issue a refund. I said that was not acceptable and they and the BBB pretty much replied with a gfyt. Maybe I will pack it up next trip out east and deliver it in person to them at their corporate office. Or maybe file small claims court and make them spend $$$$ on their atty filing a response for $100 worth of items.

      Christmas gift in 2024. First use of it, I said it is LOUD for a microwave. Less than 1 month later, the light inside the microwave doesn't work and there are no "troubleshooting suggestions" in the owner manual. The website for Hamilton Beach doesn't even list microwaves as being buyable from them so I really wonder what company made the microwave I have. Thank God I kept the original box and it is less than 90 days since purchased.

      My husband and I purchased our Hamilton Beach microwave two years ago. Today, I went to use it and I had it on high for five minutes. After about three minutes, it stopped completely and it completely shut off. It was all blank, no time or anything was showing. It smelled like something was burning on the inside and outside. My glasses fogged up, like smoke got to them. I almost called the fire department because I thought the plug caught on fire. My husband is going to buy a new one. But, that really scared me.

      My microwave was purchased in 2021 after my less than one year old Panasonic died. The inside paint has bubbled and peeled. Manufacturers need to do better than engineer for end-of-life occurring so quickly.

      Purchased my Hamilton Beach microwave about 4 years. A small area at the seam came apart in the inside back right corner. It appears to be rust behind the spot but hard to tell. It put out an odd smell when turned on. Product unplugged and will be out of permanent commission.

      Microwaves are not produced by Hamilton Beach. They do not support this product!! Will never buy another product with their name on it. Emailed them. Response: contact store where you bought it. Hahaha.

      I have a 1100 Hamilton Beach & haven't had it but a couple of years. I have the same complaint as everyone else in the reviews. The thing is peeling very badly. I was looking for a recall on it but didn't find one. I have concerns about it being a health hazard. I keep it clean but it still look unsightly because of the peeling. I'm very disappointed. I will not buy one of this brand again. I can't afford to buy something that's not going to last more than 2 years or so! I bought it from Walmart.

      In less than a year of purchasing my microwave, rust started to appear and just kept getting worse. 2-1/2 years later, had a rusted out hole in the path of the wheels for the microwave plate. Filled it with high temp JB Weld, but microwave looking decades old at this point. Also, sometimes door doesn't close properly, even though it's latched, and the microwave appears to be running. Tested it, it doesn't produce any microwaves during this issue, but is annoying. Cannot recommend the purchase of this product. I didn't know why, on a product that sees high temperature and humidity, plus cleaning chemicals, while they thought powder coating this without zinc plated sheet metal was a great idea? I need to buy a new microwave now, I will never buy anything from this company or any brands from its parent. Rusted holes in the microwave interior pose a health threat from the microwaves escaping.

      HI have bought 2 Hamilton Beach microwaves and both died within a year. Their performance when they do work is fair at best but 2 within 2 years gets expensive. Buy a better brand. You may have to spend a little more but in the long run it's worth it, the 2nd one just started throwing sparks out the minute you turned it on. Big fire hazard in my opinion.
