 Two in a row fail. December 1, 2008
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.
 Unreliable November 24, 2008
My first unit died after a month and was replaced under warranty.
The second unit developed more and more "small" mechanical problems that I could repair myself and died after a little more than a year of use (they did not replace it this time).
The micro-processor temperature regulation is kind of a joke: Running the same cycle indoors (70F) or outdoors (55F) produces totally different results. Indoors roasting is really difficult as the smoke and shaft will really mess up the place, even under a hood with the vent attachment in place. The roast needs constant supervision and good light to look at the color of the beans, so it's hard to do it outdoors. The unit is too noisy to hear the beans crack.
All in all a good try, but with too many shortcomings. I suspect that all reasonably priced home units that do not take your whole kitchen counter space are also "works in progress"... the i-roast might be as good as others.
 Excellent Roaster November 16, 2008
The IRoast2 provides the ability for the user to roast coffee beans to the desired roast, from city to full city, French and Italian roast. The chaf collector works extremely well, eliminating the loose chaf I experienced with other roasters.
BUYER BEWARE October 23, 2008
LONGEVITY- glass top broken within 1 year, roaster dead in 1 1/2 years
QUALITY CONTROL- Had to purchase an entirely new roaster. First one arrived smoking with no air moving. Weeks to get another one. This one also burns coffee beans.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: Non-existent. Much of the time you get a circuit busy on the phone; if you get through at all, there are usually 40 calls ahead of you. Messages are not returned. Neither are faxes.
Home roasted coffee beans are fantastic, but this machine and this company are horrendous. Check recent reviews to confirm my comments re customer service. DO NOT DEAL WITH HEARTHWARE!
NO CUSTOMER SERVICE October 10, 2008
DON'T BUY THIS or any Hearthwear product. My i-roast lasted less than a year with regular weekly use. When it quit heating (burnt out) I was worried that because I didn't have the reciept due to it being a gift that Hearthwear wouldn't honor the waranty. Not to worry, you can't get serviec at all, let alone under waranty.
I emailed Hearthwear repeatedly as stated in the waranty and called repeatedly and was unable to get an answer or leave a message due to the box being full. Bottom line, if you buy their products you're on your own!
