I researched coffee makers and narrowed it down to 5 and this one was #3. I purchased this one because my first two choices were not available at Best Buy. I only have a couple of complaints and they are really not that sugnifficant of an issue. Dislikes: 1. The clock is not illuminated, which makes it hard to read. 2. When you open the lid, to pour in the water, you have to pull the unit out toward the edge of the counter because it's to tall to fit under the cabinet. 3. I leave the lid open to let the unit dry out inside. For some reason a lot of moisture accumulates. 4. You have to order the water filters in a two year supply (12 filters) at a cost of $34.95 + shipping & tax which comes to more than half the cost of the unit itself! 5. The cord is to short which limits the location you can put the coffee maker. 6. The lid seem flimsy, whould be nicer if it were made of a little thicker plastic. Likes: 1. Makes 12 cups of coffee instead of the standard 10 cups that most coffee makers make. 2. Ease of pouring in the water, as long as you hook the lip of the carafe on the edge of the unit it pours in easely. 3. You can control the length of time the coffee stays warm, after brewing.
