I have bought Mr. Coffee brand coffee makers for the last 30 years.  They do not seem to be manufactured to the same quality standards now.  I liked the display on this one and the retracting cord feature.  It was lighter weight than any I had purchased in the past, but it seemed to work well... for two months only... when it died!  I believe it was probably the heating element that quit.  I have decided that I will never purchase another Mr. Coffee.
