SELLER WILL NOT REFUND MONEY Not working after 2 months

The product no longer works. I got it in August and immediately stopped warming up. A piece of junk for $27. I'll come back to what the other seller said: "1. No automatic shutdown.2. There is no temperature sensor.3. It's terribly loud, like a banshee.4. It makes your drink taste like plastic." Splash everywhere if you don't hold the lid while mixing. THE SELLER WANTED A REFUND

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • old

Novelty is useless - coffee, tea and espresso

This is more novelty than useful. I was looking for a cocoa machine similar to my mother's, but this machine didn't fit. Makes two cups. If you fill it to the right mark, the milk will squirt everywhere as you mix. I'll just fill less next time. It says don't leave it on longer than the mixing time specified in the manual or the milk will curdle. I was looking for a keep warm or auto heat option. Personally, I would find it easier to just make hot chocolate on the stovetop or in the microwave…

Pros
  • Suitable for many
Cons
  • Poor guidance

Not bad: friend loves it

Nostalgia products are great. My boyfriend has a fridge, microwave, popcorn maker and I ordered this for him because they had a hot chocolate machine when he was a kid. It makes pretty good hot chocolate just because it whips it up pretty well and gets it pretty hot. It doesn't do much, so if you've got a big family it might not be for you (if you're cooking for 6 people at a time, we'll make 2 large mugs for ourselves), it also seems to take a while to whisk together. it's pretty good which…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Volume

almost as loud as a garbage chute. It worked well

I gave two stars because it's so loud it's almost useless. The video shows how loud it is - 74 decibels; almost as loud as a garbage chute. It worked well, it heated up the hot cocoa a lot, but without the auto shut off you have to control it more directly. I didn't shoot at the stars because of the auto-off feature; clear that the description is honest about it. I used to have a cocoa latte that had an auto shut off and a feature that turned the unit back on to reheat the cocoa. These would…
