Some customers say it leaks and fills with water. ??

Mine has been great it does not leak you might want to check and see if it came with a hole or if something happened to it after you got it

I've used mine for about a month, probably 10 or 15 times, and have had no leaking or filling with water so far.

I've used it over one week. Thus far I have no problems - hopefully I won't.

I would not buy this one, a couple of different times we got this, air leaks and then water flows out...

Mine leaked too. I called the manufacturer's customer support phone number and they gave me a new one free. I also had a problem with the soap dispenser. I did the same and they sent me a new one. I must say the customer service is pretty good, but why do we as customers have to go through all of this? They have to improve quality control of their products.

Yes ours is leaking also, what have you tried? My husband thinks he needs to tork the screws tighter. Wanted me to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it.

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried tightening it to see if that helps? I remember at least one other reviewer had the same problem. Once he/she tightened it, it no longer leaked. Hope that helps

Did you notice a rubber washer? It sounds like the washer may have not been seated properly so water leaked in it.

Frankly I have had three of these so far and they are not constructed well. The pump runs okay but the unit leaks water and air out of the black shaft where it goes into the neck. I notified the manufacturer and they were nice enough to send me a replacement leaky pump. Someday I might find the time to rebuild it and seal it properly. Guess storage is irrelevant if it hardly works.

Ours hasn't leaked. I just make sure I don't overfill it. I did read somewhere that you're not supposed to leave water in it. I leave water in mine though.

I had mine installed by a plumber. It has never leaked. Perhaps one of the hoses leading up to that head is not tightened?

Maybe they had a bad batch..... you can return it if the one you get leaks. Mine was great.

Sorry, mine sprung a leak about two months ago and had to trash. I do recommend emptying after each use and not allowing water to temain in it for a long time. Sediment and rust can accumulate

I am sorry that you purchased this unit. The electric motor in mine broke after about 3 winters. I don't know why it is leaking. It should not leak. Make sure that the water reservoir spring stopper is working properly and that the reservoir is seated properly.

Because it is leaking. I had the same problem and called Hamilton Beach and they are sending me a new unit. Had a choice of whether to wait until the end of the month when they will have a new improved one of the same model or a different model. I chose to go for a different model. All I had to pay is $13.00 for shipping.

The whole thing is a piece of trash. I'd buy something different. Mine leaks at the bottom whenever you fill it. I have to put it in a plastic container to catch the leaking water.

Hello Donald, mine will also occasionally leak as well. When this happens, I have found that the pot was not entirely empty when I made a fresh pot or I filled the water level too high. It will also "spring" a BAD leak if the components (water tank, filter bay and coffee pot itself) are not completely seated in their proper alignments. Check all of these things EACH time you make a pot of coffee and I think you will be as pleased with your coffee maker as I have been. Also, I always make coffee for my guests instead of letting them try to make it themselves! They ALWAYS make it leak! It just takes a little getting used to and being careful each and every time!

Mine did not leak. If yours is leaking, it's probably a manufacturer's defect and you should return it.

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!
