Nothing impressive about it considering the price. It is pretty just not worth the price.

We are going to pass your comments about the price over to our internal team to review. Thank you for sharing your comments, we're glad to see you are enjoying the appearance.
We had a problem with the original one we bought. I failed within the first couple of weeks. The Descale light came on and would not reset, it showed Medium, even though we never changed it from Gold, but GE was great about replacing it. The new one has been working properly so far and hopefully will continue to do so. It makes excellent tasting coffee when set to Gold. The only complaints are the water reservoir doesn't come off to make cleaning easy and because of the thick insulated wall of the carafe, it is hard to get all of the coffee out. These are small issues that we can live with for the great tasting coffee.

We're here to support you with your coffee maker. We do see that you've been working with our service team to get the issue resolved. Please continue to communicate with your agent.
It is quite good looking. the features are nice and intuitive. My 2 critiques are that it really doesn't keep the coffee warm after the first cup (at the highest temperature), and it doesn't release all the coffee at the end without removing the top.

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your new coffee maker so far. As we continue to make improvements to our appliances, your feedback is extremely important to us. We will pass these comments regarding the release and warming of the coffee along to our product team to review.
I attempted to descale my coffeemaker according to the directions in the booklet. I spent two hours descaling (I thought I was, anyway.) but to no avail. Apparently, the directions in the booklet are incorrect. I found the following directions in one of the reviews on this site.
“I ran into this when following the instructions in the manual, which are wrong. When descaling you do not send the machine through the brew process, as stated on page 14 of the manual. Instead, press the strength button and watch the machine count down three seconds while you hold the button. Release the button and the descaling process will start while the machine counts down one hour for the process to finish.”
I followed these correct instructions and my machine is descaling as I write. Thank you to the reviewer who posted the correct method of descaling and thank you for helping me be less frustrated:)

Worked great until one day it stopped brewing and now we are in a warranty claim.

The machine itself is good but, as others have noted, the finishes on the carafe handle are flaking off.
