Review Date: July 27, 2008, K. cortez from reviews very good!
This product hasn't failed me yet, so I really don't know what to say. It has nice glass thingy and a nice white color. Sorry I can't help you with this. It's easy to operate.

Review Date: February 27, 2010, Susan Page from Richland, WA reviews This B&D coffeemaker is the one for me
Amost ALL current Makes and Models of automatic coffeemakers are unworkable in my small kitchen; many have a "footprint" that just takes up far too much counterspace! But the feature I really MUST have is that the over-all height WITH THE WATER-COMPARTMENT LID FULLY SWUNG UP TO OPEN is not more than 17" high, so that it can be opened -and the water reservoir filled- while the unit is still beneath the wall cabinet above. The B&D DLX850 is one of the very few that works this way, and I also much prefer its straight-sided glass pot, and black color. I wish this Model wasn't so hard to find; it's really the best one for me! And the price point is reasonable, given that it's not programmable.

I often wonder: Do the manufacturers do any DESIGN test research with real users, or do they just get so wrapped up in changing the LOOKS of appliances that they forget about function, ease of use/maintenance, and durability?

Nice coffee maker. It was worth the trouble to have it shipped to Japan. I hate 5 or 6 cups coffee makers.
