Great machine overall.
Unfortunately, it is a little too hot on low heat setting. I don't like that there is no wondow on outside to see how much water is in machine and its hard to look into and not wide to pour water in it. I don't like the lid to the coffeepot. Its snap on and doesn't always want to cooperate. The lids that are attached in the back and go up and down in front are better overall and they don't need to be often removed (if connections are decent they are easily cleaned)
Based on difficulty puttingin water, no window outside machine showing how full, snap on lid on coffee pot, and low heat is a temp many would consider medium to medium high instead of just hot enough, i really would give this a 3.5 not a full 4.
I like that it beeps when done, can be preset, has clock, allows smaller amounts, and has the charcoal thing for the water.
This is not the first one we have had. But hopefully this lasts longer than last one which one day just stopped turned on for no reason. Its a much better coffeemaker than 2 other less expensive brands we tried. Just wish the issues mentioned were addressed. I like this version (buttons etc) better than others in this brand.

Let’s get the bad out of the way. I had limited height so was looking for a coffee maker that had a water reservoir that didn’t fill from the top. The description for this one said it was removable and the photos showed it was more to the side than straight up. Great! However, you need to fill the coffee and remove the heating tank by lifting straight up. Not great. Also, a short cord I can understand. This cord? It’s ridiculously short!! If you want to place it in a corner (a spot I considered after the short height option failed),& your plug is on the opposing wall- nope. It will not reach!! Finally, it gets a lot of gross condensate on the reservoir lid over the grounds.
Now for the good. The tank keeps the coffee warm for quite a while (could be a bit hotter, but acceptable). You might wonder why I gave it for stars after all the negatives. It makes a GOOD cup of coffee. Good enough that I kept it even with all its problems.
If they at least addressed the cord issue and made the tank heater a few degrees warmer, it would be 4.5 stars. If they figured out a way to make everything side accessible?? 5 stars all the way!!

As a new replacement to a very defective predecessor of the same model only two years old, we appreciate this coffee maker when it works. So far so good...but the jury is still out on its longevity. If the new replacement craps out, we won't purchase another. If it dies of old age before we do, we will buy another.

This is a great coffeemaker -- the only reason I am giving it 4 stars rather than 5 is due to the fact that pouring the water into the reservoir is awkward. It's unfortunate. If the top of the coffeemaker went back all the way instead of stopping at a 90 degree angle, it would be a breeze to add the water. So to compensate, I have to tilt the entire coffeemaker almost on its side to be able to add all of the water from the coffee pot to the reservoir.
