Can anyone comment about the durability? I'm trying to replace a Hamilton Beach model 66332 which is identical and it gets bad reviews.

I own this juicer for less than a year so I cannot suggest that it will last for years. I can tell you that it is sturdy, the juicer has some weight to it so it seems to have a substantial motor. I dropped a few of the parts and they suffered no damage. It works wonderfully for me and it is relatively compact for easy storage.

So far I'm very pleased with mine. I haven't had it for a long period of time (few months) but it is easy to clean and works well. I have used it for limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruit.

Absolutely horrible quality. The plastic texture is like glass. If you bang it or worse, drop it, it will shatter like a glass window pane. My suggestion, if your nit looking to waste your money, purchase the Tribest CitriStar CS-1000 Citrus Juicer. Its like the saying goes. You only get what you pay for. I love this juicer. Its a solid device in every way. Tribest CitriStar CS-1000 Citrus Juicer

Mine also leaked. I contacted Hamilton Beach and returned it. Perhaps you'll need to do the same.

No idea, neither mine nor my fathers have broken in 2 years. Spend a little extra and get the model with a handle on the side.

Hi, the best thing you can do is go to the Hamilton Beach web site and download the instruction manual or view it, need to enter model # and type of product.

Now, here is a kicker. On BH site it shows as DISCONTINUED! So what's the replacement if it's the case? I was hesitant to pull a trigger a couple of weeks ago when price was around $435 and obviously have missed the opportunity. However, if this is already an old model, I am very interested in a replacement.

I've had mine for about 2 years, I guess, and have no problems with it. But then again, I'm not using it all the time. Seems to be well made. It certainly is heavy! Have had no need for warranty repairs.

I do not like the Hamilton Beach 47665. Ended up giving it to my step-son to try who did not like it either. We elected to throw it away.

I've only owned this model. I just bought a replacement for my original that lasted 10 years.

The one I bought to replace mine worked great had no problem with it. Once its the right model for your ill say go for it.

I Disagree with the last comment. We have had our for almost two years and have had no problems. Do need to take it outside about once every six months and break it down and clean it. I am guilty of going over a year without cleaning it and it still worked fine. Don't know what the other folks problems were. They never did say. Even if it breaks down in two year, I'll just buy another one.

My housing had leak and I was going to get a new one at the pool store. I did not want to pay what the wanted, so I looked on Amazon and found the exact model for less than half the price. I got it in about 2 days, put it together and all is well. I don't know if it is worth the trouble to fix the old one.

I don't know. This is the first I've heard about BPA . Maybe you should contact Hamilton Beach for more information.

I don't have my info handy but I remember when I was looking I thought there was another well known brand that looked very similar. I have had mine for about a year and a half now and no issues so far. Knock on wood. Good luck.

Yes. I have not had it more than a few months. But I am still just as pleased with it. What I cannot report on is durability.

Looks like is better to use regular store to purchase these things. I also bought Hamilton Beach 4 years ago at Lowe's store and bought extra 2 year warranty. It is actually still working. I bought this Oster Kettle because I thought that my Hamilton Beach switch broke down and used Amazon this time. When I received my Oster Kettle, my old Hamilton Beach switch started to work. I guess it is better to buy extra warranty so at least two years you are safe.

I just bought a new one in 2014. The old reviews complained about plastic linkage parts breaking. The new machine I just received has all steel parts in critical areas. I believe the machine has been redesigned and improved. It is now extremely well built. Make sure we are talking about the 1215 machine as Stamina produces cheaper models.
