We had one with the timer for over a year, - it did stop working after a year. We paid over $50 for it, I think it should have lasted longer for the cost of it.
Negative Product Points
Have had our current one since December. It is the basic model, started leaking in January. Have to place something under it to soak up all the coffee it leaks out. Very disappointed!
Detailed Commentary
Just very disappointed. I would think for $30 + I would get a coffee pot that would hold coffee.
I have white counters so the stains for them coffee are awful. I have ruined many dish towels and placemats because I have had to place them under the brew station to soak up the coffee that leaks out for no reason!
The first one we bought had the timer and lasted over a year and one day, just stopped working. We paid over $60 for that one.
I will be going back to my $12 coffee pot that does not leak all over the place. When it stops working, at least I know I got my $12 worth.
