Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Waring Pro Professional Electric Martini Maker, Black/ChromeCustomer Review: DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$ on THIS!!!!!!! Summary: 1 Stars
I didn't realize I could upload a video review. I will try to create one when I return home.
I received this as a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law less than two months ago. The concept is neat. I drink 2 or 3 martinis a week at home, and often try to experiment with different mix elements. So, when I got this as a gift, I was very happy.
On my first try, I would say, it did a mediocre job... Not too fantastic, but not too disappointing. It made awful loud noise, and had to hold its body down with two hands. Although it was not too fantastic, I thought it still was a neat concept, and I would be using it every now and then.
Then, I wanted to wash the shaker, and realized that the top (the strainer top) and the bottom are completely stuck. I mean, they were stuck as if they were never two parts. I had to wait for a while until the ice is melt so I could at least drain the content. It's been 3 weeks since it happened, and it's still stuck. The machine shakes the drink by pounding on it so it was not too surprising that the lid could get stuck. So, I tried to heat the bottom part while pouring cold water over the top part. It did not work. I tried to use my other shaker in the machine, and it would not fit right so it made even louder noise.
I contacted the Waring Products customer service to see if I can get the shaker part replaced. They responded in a week, asking for my address, then completely gone incommunicado. After three or four follow-up e-mails asking for the status, they sent me the EXACT SAME e-mail asking for my address. Then, (yes, you guessed it!) they disappeared. Completely gone nuclear-silent. It's been over three weeks since I first contacted them, and I am very disappointed. I wish I had used it at least two or three times before this happened.
So, I figured that the best I could do for others is to leave this feedback so that anybody who was considering this product would know the disappointment that they may experience.
I am very disappointed, and will stay away from any products from Waring Products (I think they are also related to ConAir) in the future, since the customer service is not reliable at all.
What a waste of $$, time, and efforts.
