Good concept, but high failure rate

First brewer lasted about 80 days before beginning to shut down after every cup. Brewer fails to draw water into the heating chamber and shuts down to avoid complete failure. After several calls to Kuerig, received a replacement, but it has the same problem. Currently waiting for Kuerig to call me back. See other reviews at [@] Make sure you read the recent reviews. Many people are experiencing this issue. I loved this brewer when it was new and working properly. It disappoints me to have these issues and get spotty support from Kuerig. Hopefully they will continue to stand behind the product, but frequent replacement is not the right answer. Acknowledge and fix the problem Kuerig.
Pros: Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings, Easy to use
My wife and I bought the B70 in Sept 2009 after co-workers bought one for our office. The first B70 worked great for about a month, then the "Quiet Brew" became a loud brew. [...]. Since then, we have had to exchange it two more times because the pump stopped drawing water unless we shook the machine. What is the problem Keurig?
Love this coffee maker when it's working properly. I am another person experiencing issues with the poor pump design. After brewing a cup, the internal reservoir tries to refill and cannot complete the process and the machine shuts itself off. I called customer service today, waited on hold for 20 min, had to give all contact information that should be available since I provided it online for my warranty, and then never got to speak with a technician. I was told they had "high call volume" and should expect a call back within 24 hours. After a bit of web hunting, I have found MANY people with the same problem and it is solved by getting a replacement machine from Keurig or the retailer of the original purchase. Clearly, the product is faulty and Keurig must own up to it. I love your product--it really is the perfect way for me to enjoy coffee! Just admit and fix the problem!
Pros: Easy to use, Stylish, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Multiple Settings
We love the concept of the Keruig and the coffee, although they no lnger carry our favorite in the K-cup. BUT...we are on our fourth machine in less than four years. Our first one lasted a little over 3 yrs before the pump went out. We've replaced the new one three twice now since purchasing it less than three months ago as the pump keeps going out. The one we have now is acting up so I imagine later this week, I'll be making my usual trip to the store to take this one back. Keep your receipt and box. Recommended with reservations
Pros: Multiple Settings, Stylish, Convenient and Clean, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use
We love our platinum keurig. although it has acted up a couple of times, nothing major...Yet. It has saved us tons of money by not going to expensive coffee houses everyday & the coffee is better tasting. We love all the different coffee's & flavors to choose from, especially when entertaining. Each guest can have a different type & flavor of coffee which make us stars w/ our friends. No guess work in the brewing. You don't have to brew a whole pot of coffee for 1 cup & deal w/ a fragile glass pot. I would give it a perfect score if it hadn't acted up a couple of times.
Pros: Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use, Multiple Settings, Saves money, Many types of coffee, Stylish, Perfect coffee everytime
Cons: Acted up a couple times
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Platinum brewer is designed and UL approved for household use. Keurig recommends customers use Keurig brewers consistent with their intended use.
This is a great coffee maker if it worked. I had it 1 week and it would shut down after trying to pump water into tank. I have tried to get a hold of customer service tech, but they are too busy to help out. You have to wait 24-48 hours for a call back. And of course they only work business hours when I am at work. My friends got to purchase this coffee maker and it has been the biggest mistake ever. That first week I also purchased coffee and a mini. I will be returning everything. Shame on you Keurig. I will not be buying anymore of your products.
