The Company’s bases its innovation on deep consumer research and increasingly has focused on higher-priced, higher margin products. If you already own an Alexa-enabled speaker and use it to control other smart home devices with your voice, you might consider the convenience here worth the upcharge. If you don’t already own an Alexa speaker or you’re on a tight budget, it doesn’t make sense to get this model. When Louis Hamilton and Chester Beach teamed up in the early 1900s, little did they know that their collaboration would lead to many industry firsts.
But not all bread machines have gluten-free features, and of those that do, only some can bake tasty gluten-free loaves. So it’s important to shop for that specifically if you’re on a special diet. Until sometime in the 1980s the company’s products were marketed under the brand name “Keurig K-Mini Scovill”, reflecting a merger that occurred in 1923. In 1990, the company merged with Proctor Silex, another household appliance manufacturer.
The company mostly sold products that Osius had invented and patented, but Chester Beach had invented a high-speed fractional motor in 1905, which the company used in many of its products. Osius designed the agitator implement for the company’s first milkshake machine, the Cyclone Drink Mixer, introduced in 1910. Hamilton and Beach left the company in 1913 to form their own firm, Wisconsin Electric Company. Osius sold Hamilton-Beach to Scovill Manufacturing in 1922 and moved to Millionaires’ Row in Miami Beach.
STAY AWAY. I received a Hamilton Beach toaster oven as a gift in December 2021. The bottom heating element worked sporadically for the first 2 months and then stopped working totally. I contacted customer service in August 2022 via email, they have no phone customer service. They tell me it’s not covered under the 1 year warranty because they have to go by the date in was produced as stated by the serial number. We bought a coffee pot and within a few months it started leaking water. I sent an email and they said someone would get back to me.

While the standard 12-cup Hamilton Beach programmable coffee maker costs just $24.99, the Alexa-enabled model we reviewed will set you back $89.99. It only works with Alexa, not Google Assistant, so you can’t control it with “Hey Google” voice commands (the same goes for Apple’s Siri). Along with time and resource savings, Google Workspace adds the benefit of integrated data flow across communications and collaboration applications.
