The lid for the basket has a small dented area on the rim about 3/8" long. Is this normal or is it a minor defect?

The indentation is to accommodate the nut that holds the handle to the carafe. When you put the top on orient it so that the indentation is toward the handle.

I checked mine and I did not see anything like what your describe. Maybe you should have it replaced. Other than that, I really like my percolator.

That is normal, it is to help break the seal so you can remove the lid. It would really be harder to remove the lid if that wasn't there. I love my Presto and the great coffee it makes!

it lasted about 11 months. Went back to my drip coffee maker. I've had it for 3 years and is still going.

That happens when the lid isn't shut or sealed correctly, like if the basket isn't sitting properly and prevents the lid from sealing all the way when closed.

We have not had a problem with the lid. This is our second one, the first we had over 6 years and just wanted an 'upgrade' with the basket style. Perhaps the inserted basket to catch the fall off is not properly installed. If the lid is not closing, that sounds like a manufacturing defect and possibly could be contained to only a few units. We like it because of the large capacity and overall functions. I shopped for a capable product and ended up with T-Fal again. For us, it by far is the best buy for what we use it for. Good Luck

I don't think there is a problem but I rarely use them without the lid. I could see how the indented rim might be aggravating but certainly not something that would cause any problems.

I think they must all be like that because mine is too. Its like its a little crooked or something. I still use it all the time and it makes great bread so I never returned it. I've had it a couple years now. The lid doesn't seem to effect the cooking, its more or less just one of those annoying things you get use to.

My rim was a little dented too. I just straightened it as best as I could and it worked fine.

basket is 10 inches OD, but there's a rim at the top that measures 11 9/16. overall depth is just shy of 12 inches inside the basket. The picture is very misleading.

It is about 3.5' by 8'. the top basket is 2' deep and the bottom 1' deep. It is holing up well so far. I had bought another one before this one and it rusted just after a short time. Hope this helps.

Check the website and/or contact someone there. They are very helpful. And I suggest purchasing the basket from them as well- more affordable

I have NO IDEA. Measure it's width and depth and compare to the basket width and depth.

The rim is about 3/4" of an inch, leaving about 8-1/2" of usable space inside the rim. I have plenty of room for a napkin holder, bud vase, salt&pepper;, and a couple of bottles of hot sauce without any problem. It's a nice piece, especially for the money.

It isn't damaged. It will probably come off with a good cleaning with Bar Keeper's Friend. It is a pretty common occurrence with new SS cookware. Happy cooking!!

Mine is steal with holes. If the basket is now mesh, it has been changed. I love mine and highly recommend it.

It is slightly smaller than 3/4", very slightly though. It might not show. Joanna

the basket was quite large but not very deep. the basket was left out of my order, I called and they shipped it separately. In the mean time I took my bike to a bike shop to get assembled they did a great job and I love my bike. When the basket arrived I had my husband try to put it on the bike and it wouldn't fit right without twisting the frame and wheels so I threw the basket away

With mine, about 4 1/8. It is a good piece of furniture, but we had issues with the bottom basket being damaged on delivery. Options were to send entire table back, or take a small credit, no exchange of the damaged basket. It works ok with an open area below, but would have preferred as ordered.

I would say about 7 1/2 "...the one I have doesn't have the basket on the bottom.
