Hamilton Beach kettle warranty requires payment of shipping charges almost equivalent to purchase price.
A Hamilton Beach kettle I bought in July 2023 for $32 + tax, stopped working completely in September 2024. As it was over 1 year from purchase, the manufacturer's 5 warranty was applied for. After sending all the necessary details to them, they replied that they would replace it for shipping costs of $29.98, almost the same value as the purchase price. Duh. How does that make sense? I'll just go buy another kettle and it won't be Hamilton Beach.
