Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is my 1st B&D coffee-maker. I recently purchased locally for an exceptionally low price (Amazon has been alerted). I like this coffemaker so far. It was well packaged. Unit is quite tall, so placement under cabinets may be problematic ( water-filling, steam, etc.. ).
This unit has identical features and is a very similar in design to B&D's DLX1050W (or B) models ( check out those reviews ). Only visible difference that I notice is in the shape of the control-buttons.
The coffeemaker features I like are : the bright-LED time display, programmable brew-time, steal-a-cup, 2hr shut-off and the water reservoir (easy access to refill & removeable parts for easy cleaning).
The features I don't like : View port for water-reservoir (on right side only & difficult to read). Control buttons seem fragile (prone to early failure). Carafe glass seems thin & fragile. Steal-a-cup mechanics seem failure prone ( as in ... brewing-coffee overflowing from filter ).
Coffemaker quickly makes a nice hot pot of great smelling & tasting coffee.
Note: Before brewing the 1st pot of coffee, I suggest you first run a vinegar-water solution through the unit, followed by a plain tap water brew-cycle to remove any manufacturing residues, smells or tastes.
It has been reported that the 2-yr B&D warranty is "sketchy", but I read that some retailers insist that the mfr. honor stated warranty w/o charge to consumer (imagine that?).
Like most coffemakers in this price range/class, they are not built to last long (i.e. planned obsolescence). I hope this one suprises me. My last coffee maker (P-S 43571) lasted only 10 months and nearly started a fire.
