Not what I would expect for the money!

I am on my second unit, which I had to purchase because the warranty was up. I purchased the replacement less than 2 months ago. First one just died. The second one is very erratic. I will make one cup and the water will not process into the maker for a second cup. I wait and get a message that says "Prime", which is what the 800 tech support says I have to do. So, I disconnect the power, remove the water tank and drain a little of the water from the bottom. This usually works, but not always. This is supposed to be a "New" unit according to the phone rep who sent it to me (not re-furbished). I get a lot of "Prime" messages. This is not an example of good "Quality". If I have much more trouble, it will be in the trash and I will buy a better made coffee maker.
Pros: Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Fast
I purchased this Kuerig for my husband who is a 3 cup a day coffee drinker. It is very clean and quick. No muss no fuss. Being able to have the variety and ability to change flavors with every cup is very appealing. We love it so much that we are ordering another, just like the one at home, for our RV.
Pros: Stylish, Multiple Settings, Durable, Easy to use, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Special Edition Brewing System is designed and UL approved for household use. Keurig recommends customers use Keurig brewers consistent with their intended use.
This was a great unit at first. Worked great everyday. In about a year and a half it started to take forever to brew. Just sat there. Sometimes a tap on the top got it started. Did the descaling every 4 months and it looks like new. It also has developed a leak. The counter was starting to get wet under the unit. Finally have retired it. Too many problems. But I'll say it was the best thing I have ever used for brewing coffee when it did work properly. But can't justify [$] every 18 months for one.
I have had this machine for 5 months and it has already stopped working. Keep getting the PRIME message and it wont work. For the price this machine should last. Luckly they have a great customer service and they are sending me a replacement. Hopefully this was just a fluke and the new machine will last...
Pros: Stylish, Fast, Easy to use, Multiple Settings
Before we got our keurig we had a tassimo and in 10 months had to return 10 faulty ones. a few friends had the keurig special edition and they said to try one. We bought a special edition on sale and it is the best coffee maker I have ever had. i bought the my k cup for it aswell. I would buy one all over again!!!! I like that it has 3 cup sizes, I like one size. Large. my wife likes medium. and we like that you can turn the temp down!!!! great job keruig!!!!!
Pros: Easy to use, Stylish, Multiple Settings, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Durable, Fast, Great taste
I have used my brewer several times a day, every day, for just over five years now. I had heard other stories of people with brewers that shut off, didn't give full cups, etc. Mine has just started this, and I noticed the LCD only shows half of what it used to. This brewer has been a work horse for me; no problems whatsoever for five years until just now. I'm on here to purchase another one.
Pros: Fast, Accommodates All Cup Sizes, Easy to use, Durable
