Hammacher Schlemmer

Hammacher Schlemmer opened for business in New York City in 1848, thirteen years before the Civil War began. A name synonymous with innovation,Hammacher Schlemmer introduced the first pop-up toaster (1930), the electric razor (1934) and the first steam iron (1948). Later, we would offer the first electric pencil sharpener, food processor, electric can opener and automatic coffee maker. Hammacher Schlemmer continues to serve customers' needs in ways that no one else does or can. While some of the products may appear unusual, they all share the common goal of meeting the special needs of our customers. From the very beginning, our standard has been quality-functional quality plus exemplary service.
