Mr. Coffee DW13 12-Cup Switch Coffeemaker, Black

Great coffee maker!
I'm very happy with my purchase of my Mr. Coffee DW13 12-cup Switch Coffeemaker. I'm surprised at the negative reviews, I haven't had ANY of the problems others have had. I did purchase a Mr. Coffee gold-tone coffee filter to use instead of paper filters. I'm not a big coffee drinker and my expectations were very low and simple. I was going to go for the 4-cup since I'm the only coffee drinker in the house but I found that it's very convenient to have a bigger capacity when company is around. It's easy to use and I've had no water leakage at all, from any part of it. I'm not bothered by the sound of it brewing, I have yet to own a coffee maker that doesn't "gurgle" while it's heating and dispensing the water. The coffee dispensing stops immediately when I remove the carafe and I have had no problems with the carafe being problematic to pour. The lid on top is large...I simply pull the machine forward and out from under my cabinets when I need to open and close the top. For...

not bad for $15
I bought this for $15 at "wally world" It makes coffee my old sunbeam lasted about 2 years using it about 5 times a day. So this is a cost to own of $7.50 per year. I like simple appliance and am unwilling to spend $100 for a coffee maker. Use a glass tray or cookie tray underneath the coffee maker and dont worry about the drips. I am not sure what people expect in an appliance that costs the price of 2 cans of coffee but for me its fine....

Defective Product
Thought I would warn anyone considering this model. I had one for about 4-5 months before it starting "leaking" from somewhere and leaving a puddle of water under the machine. I eventually replaced it with two more of the exact same model and each time the machine caused a puddle right out of the box. It DID make a decent tasting cup of coffee if you used the proper ratio of coffee to water. However, there is obviously this troublesome defect inherent in the product.
P.S. I recommend the similar looking Sunbeam model BVSB-TGX20(23) which for less money gives you a programmable timer/brewer and auto shut-off. Plus it actually works properly!
