Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of IRoast2 40011 5-2/7-Ounce Coffee-Bean Roaster, Black
Customer Review: Junky construction. Plastic broke immediately. Worthless.
Summary: 1 Stars
I opened the box and looked at the assembly to find that the plastic is very cheap. There are some "twist to lock" features to the unit. I twisted with very little pressure and was not able to lock the unit. When I examined why, it looked like there were flaws in construction that blocked the locking mechanism. So...I applied a tad more pressure and broke the whole plastic casing. It was very little overall pressure. Just enough to try to turn the thing. Yep. Broken. What a piece of junk.Customer Review: Works great for home roasting! 4 1/2 stars!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been learning how to roast and this roaster is very user friendly. It roasts evenly, does a good job. It's easy to clean, portable and attractive. Presets work great (love the preset option availability)! One small complaint: you must wait 2 hours between batches for it to cool, and it only roasts 1 cup of green beans per batch. This may be wholly adequate for regular roasting, but Christmas roasting for gifts will be a nightly ordeal.
Enjoy, I highly recommend this. [...]
Customer Review: Two in a row fail.
Summary: 1 Stars
My employer got this for me for christmas, It lasted about 15 months and then the blower failed. It runs and then just shuts down for no reason, I believe the heating element is still running but the blower isn't blowing. Good fire hazard..Anyway I bought another one in april, it is now december 1st. Exact same failure! I use it probably three or four times a week. After reading the other reviews here I'm pretty discouraged with trying to get them to honor my warranty..I will try anyway.Customer Review: Fresh home roasted.....YUM!!! And Lots of fun!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my husband for Christmas this year (2005). He is having alot of fun with it!! He had been roasting in an air popper before, and it was pretty good, but this is even better and we don't run the risk of melting the air popper anymore. He has shared his home roast with all our neighbors, he has tried many different types of coffee beans, from Mexican to Pure Kona.....
I would highly recommend this roaster!!! We have had alot of great coffee!!
Customer Review: Worked great for 13 months
Summary: 2 Stars
As others have mentioned, the iRoast is loud. After a while though I found I was able to tune in a hear both 1st and 2nd cracks. Apart from the small quantity limitation, and an immediate return on my first machine, I found that it works well. After about 13 months, my machine now stops half way through a roast for no reason. If you buy this expecting it to work for less than 20 months - you wont be disappointed - otherwise, not built to last.
