Verified Purchase:Yes

I don't like these types of reviews - especially the negative ones since often berate the product for the owners' errors or ignorance. Most often there are a number of negative reviews that are clearly the result of someone who did not read the owner's manual. In the case of this coffee maker, some negative reports even appear to be the result of them not cleaning the coffee maker correctly before the first use (including one that references the corrosion).

Other examples include: This coffee maker shuts off automatically after 2 hours for safety) - NO coffee maker will keep coffee warm when it is off; the clock is as accurate as the power line frequency (accurate to within less than a second / month); this product has a decanter (not a carafe); over pouring any spout will make a mess (re: chemistry 101 lab); using the specified filters (or others that actually fit) prevents grounds from getting in the coffee as well as problems with the drip mechanism when clogged with grounds.

Reviews like this are difficult to weigh until after you make the purchase yourself. I included the above to assist others in weighing the reviews entered by others. I would have simply pointed those interested to read the online owner’s manual, but the Mr. Coffee does not make them available online. There are those selling scanned copies of the manuals, but there is no guarantee that they will match the current version of this product.

This coffee maker was clearly designed to cost. It does not have sound deadening so you can hear it work. It is not loud, but you can hear it. The materials are light (i.e., thin), but will be durable with little effort on the part of the owner. It is NOT overbuilt, but at this price no one should expect that it would be. It was clearly a real bargain when evaluated realistically.

What's great about it: Great caffee maker for the price

What's not so great: Low cost construction.

I would recommend this to a friend!
