MELVIN, MICHIGAN -- Purchased a Toastmaster coffee pot from Dollar General 8 months ago. The thing worked fine until Sunday February 11, 2017 when I turned the coffee pot on and a flame shot out of the on/off switch causing burns to my finger and to my counter. I have been trying since Monday 2/13/2017 to make contact with the company and have been passed around from department to department with no help, everyone states they need to transfer me. Please if you have this model throw it away. This is beyond upsetting that it seems to be a common problem and yet no recalls.
NITRO WV, WEST VIRGINIA -- I bought the Toastmaster 12 cup coffee maker at Dollar General. It has scorched the table it's on😠. I've tried many cleaners and nothing will remove the scorched spot. My table is ruined! I will never buy another Toastmaster product and will tell everyone I know not to purchase any Toastmaster product.
Started coffee maker this morning and walked away... Roommate went to get a cup and the coffee had fully brewed but light was off. He went to switch it, felt it was loose, and a flame shot out and shocked him! Scary indeed. And I've read this is nothing new for this product. :O. Can't seem to find who to report to either. I'll dig through receipts and booklets I know I have as I bought it less than six months ago.
After believing it was just a fluke, I was dumb enough to go and get the second one. The lid is manufactured to spill half the coffee straight from the pot. Never again!!! Both will be put in the garbage and I'll never buy another. I figure they've wasted more coffee than the pot costs. Just look at the lid and you'll see that the spout opening is rotated to the right. It should say "Built especially for spills". I'm done. I'll spend more money next time and buy a product that is usable!!!
MANSFIELD, OHIO -- We bought a Toastmaster 12 cup coffee pot model # TM-122 CM from Dollar General in Oct 2014, worked like a charm for 3 days! It would not put the water through, okay no big deal. We returned it for another one thinking it was just a fluke. I was pleased with the coffee pot and used it almost every day. Today I made a pot of coffee, poured a cup, got busy doing my housework, came back about 45 minutes later and poured another cup.
I was upstairs and heard a pop. I came down to investigate the odd sound. There on my kitchen floor was the on/off switch from the coffee pot! The whole thing was black! You could see where the inside of that switch had sparked! Thank God we had it plugged into a GSI outlet that turned the power off to that outlet as soon as the coffee pot popped otherwise it could have caused a fire!! I am totally disgusted with Toastmaster's quality. When I called the store I bought it from the lady who answered told me I wasn't the only one who has had a problem with this coffee maker.
DINGMANS FERRY, PENNSYLVANIA -- So I bought a ToastMaster blender and a ToastMaster toaster and shortly five times I've use the toaster and the toaster jams. I tried every possible way to release the jam and then the Bars bent on the toaster and the electric on it no longer works. With the blender I used it three times longer than the toaster for the ignition button to stop working.
So then I took it apart because I was trying to figure out why this company sucks so badly and I figured out that the wiring was all damaged and the inside was just made out of cheap screws and parts so I tried to fix the ignition button. I took it apart and then attempted to put it back together to find out that it's almost like a Juul. You take it apart it breaks lol. Anyways I recommend not buying anything from this company because buying buying stuff from this company is almost like buying a project motorcycle from Craigslist. So everyone do yourself a favor spend a little more money to buy a good product.
TYRONE, PENNSYLVANIA -- I bought a Toastmaster hand mixer back in November 2018. Its has been used maybe 10 times. This morning I am mixing up icing for a cake & was beating the ingredients together. When almost finished the mixer just up has a fit & quits working. Well for all the longer I have had the stupid mixer & all the more it's been used it a lousy waste of my money. Sorry I ever bought the piece of junk! Needless to say Toastmaster I will never ever buy another product of yours. I will never recommend your product to anyone. JUNK crap that all needs pulled off the store shelves!
CANADA -- Made the first pot of coffee, and it was lukewarm, smelled like burned plastic and you could taste the filter in your cup of coffee, second pot a day later the coffee was not even lukewarm, the hot plate wasn't very warm.. I bought this pot from Walmart Canada and I must say I have never had a piece of crap like this, can't believe someone would even go to the trouble of make junk like this for the markets place...
