It has too many issues. Seems to be made of flimsy materials. Leaks water from steam everyday. The lid to water tank broke off only after a month. One of buttons has pushed in. It is just my husband and myself using it. We are seniors. I love the concept but not the craftsmanship.

Mine did the same thing. Looks like they have a design flaw. I went with Cuisinart.

This coffee maker is so great that I would buy it again. I find that pushing on the pour button with the mug under the line seems to be smoother.. I have had mine since Christmas and is working great !

Hello Laurie, well they picked a great one to answer this question. If you had this machine since Feb. 2014 I would kind of say you got your monies worth, if you use yours as much as I use mine. Not sure which model you have, but BE CAREFUL. A lot of the newer ones only keep the coffee hot for 2 hours, mine keeps it hot and tasty for 4. I think they all range around $50-$75. This isn't anything to sneeze at but I still feel they are the best coffee makers on the market. Hope I helped.

Mine broke after about 6 months. Not sure if I will buy another. The pump doesn't last long

Mine was under $50 10ish years ago. Now I can't afford to replace it...what's up with this price???

Yes. I had an issue with that. Also I have trouble getting it to pour when I suppress the button. It shows it is ready but does not pour. So I just turned it off, I got so frustrated.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

Small failure after almost 3 years. I have had one almost 3 years, and it's been through one move about 2 years ago. The little handle just broke - small piece of plastic broke off, but I can still pull it out if I'm careful. A bit stained like others have indicated.

I just tossed mine after it burned up from making CP soap in less than a year and about 15 batches. It was a pain to clean and the plastic bottom broke when it fell over.

We no longer has this coffee maker. It broke after about a year. Would not buy another one. Worked great when new. Now own a Cruisinart brand and very happy with it. Not sure of model #. Hope this helps.

Company informed me that it was discontinued in 2008. You will also have to buy a replacement eventually, apparently there is a known issue with the on/off button. It stops working. Don't expect support from company...they will only offer a paltry 15% off a replacement. Another company that doesn't stand by its products.

If you are talking about the drink button, mine does not move side to side. I do believe that sounds like a defective issue...:(

I've had mine for about 4 years, it now has leakage from a hole in a bottom corner. Time for a new one.

I got mine a couple months ago and the buttons are fine. While researching the case, I read that some of the older models were bad about that. So if you have an older one, I'd request to swap it with a newer one through them.

I got mine in mid-September 2014 and it seems like the lift mechanism is failing. The stool does not stay lifted to the full height, wobbles, and makes a sproingy/springy sound. I just contacted Vandue (the vendor) about repairing or replacing it. I may look into spending more in the hopes of getting something better. I will try to remember to update this based on the feedback I receive from Vandue. I will check to see if this is under any kind of warranty as well.

I had the same problem with my brewer - the menu cycled incessantly, and you had to press the button at exactly the right point in the cycling to get it to brew. It was under warranty. I called customer service and they sent a brand new one in 3 days. All they ask is that you send a part from the old machine that disables it. It took me about 5 minutes to make the call and get this matter resolved. Their customer service dept is excellent

Mine broke after 3 months. I purchased the larger LM980 as a replacement. These are not as durable as the ones they made 10 years ago.

I had mine for a few months, used it frequently & wasn't even close to needing a change. Problem is that I cracked the glass, since the thing is so big and awkward. It completely messed up the digital counter, so now I don't know when I need to change it. :(

I purchased one of these in January, 5 months ago, a part broke just last week & have called & written customer service...haven't heard anything from them, gonna have to get a whole new faucet I guess, but not the same kind! I really liked it though!
