Negative Positive
Title: Lasted One Year
Review: I chose this model because it was Consumer Reports most highly rated drip coffeemaker. Immediately the hinge on the lid broke, so you have to hold it with your thumb whenever you pour coffee. Hard water has caused a problem with our coffeemachines in the past, so I have been scrupulous about giving it a vinegar rinse every 6 weeks and using filtered water... to no avail. The machine just stopped percolating today, One year and 2 months after purchase. I called B&D as there were no "troubleshooting tips" in the accompanying pamphlet, but they just said, "Hmmm, don't know. Guess you'll just have to buy another." Not another Black & Decker thank you very much.
