Title: DIED
Product review: When I first received my coffee maker it made a decent cup of coffee, worked quickly and was easy to clean. Then after about 1 month of making 1 or 2 cups a day it died. no light, nothing. Being a curious and having a technical background I disassembled mine and discovered that it has 2 thermal fuses in the heating element circuitry in contact with the heating tube. These are to prevent overheating and a possible fire hazard. I have read several reviews where owners have stated that the coffee maker turns on by itself, which, if there was no water in the coffee maker and it had no fuses, would be a definite fire hazard. One of these fuses in mine was blown and they're not replaceable. I'm guessing that it turned on by itself, with no water, overheated and subsequently blew it's fuse. I assume that's why the makers tell you to unplug the unit when it's not in use. My coffee maker is out with the trash, but I guess if you unplug it when it's not in use.......It IS an inexpensive unit.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
