Time with product: 4 Years

Strengths: Highly dependable, love using the automatic turn on when needed

Weaknesses: I don't know... still trying to find one.

Summary: Use it every day. Sometimes use the automatic feature. Easy to clean. Looks as good as when we bought it 4 years ago. Yep, thought it was a little expensive but it's a non issue now. I guess the name of the game is to take care of and keep it looking presentable.

Strengths: Piping Hot Great Tasting Coffee

Weaknesses: none

Summary: This is the best coffee maker I've ever owned. I've been a coffee affacinado for over 30 years and this is the best brew system I've ever used.There are the French Press systems and admittedly a tad better but a lot less convenient.This coffee is actually hot. The adjustable temperature warming plate is my most favorite feature.Complains of (water opening too small, etc) are just looking for something to complain about. Also, those who call it (pricey) I'm thinking, "what"

Time with product:

Strengths: Easy to use & looks fantastic as well. Coffee comes out piping hot-even when making small quantities. Construction appears durable (eg. buttons do not feel cheap)

Weaknesses: Need some clearance to be able to open lid to pour water. The beep to tell coffee is ready is almost inaudible.

Summary: Best home coffee maker for price! I am trying to save money by making my own coffee at home & this machine comes very, very close to what you would get outside. I am absolutely pleased.
