5.0 out of 5 stars Very good Coffeemaker, July 3, 2008

I have never been one to spend a lot of money on coffeemakers in the past but I thought I would spend a little more this time and see if I could find a better quality one. I have not been disappointed. The FTXSS43 does a very good job of making a fine cup of coffee. The features I like best are the beep alert to let you know when the coffee is ready (which has a switch to turn it off if you don't want to hear it), the improved spout that doesn't drip when you pour a cup, the timer to start the coffeemaker automatically in the morning,the adjustable heat control for the warming plate, the LCD analog clock which puts out a pleasant glow and acts as a nightlight in the kitchen at night, the fact that the clock automatically turns into a timer to let you know how long the coffee has been made, and the most important, the good tasting coffee. The pot takes what I would call an average amount of time to brew and the stainless steel exterior is attractive and very easy to clean.

1.0 out of 5 stars LCD Clock has problems, December 16, 2008

By

While this coffee maker has some great features and looks great on the countertop, after just 4 months it started acting up. For no reason it would turn off. Many mornings we woke up to no coffee because the timer and clock had turned off during the night. Sometimes during a brew cycle the coffee maker would just turn itself off. Sometimes right after the brew the coffee maker would turn off and we would come into the kitchen with lukewarm coffee. After just 6 months the clock and backlight both went out and a loud sounding whistle/siren came out of this unit.

For this price the coffee maker needs to go back to quality control. I did notice however, that Mr. Coffee has since improved this model with a different clock system... with no backlight. Wonder why???

UPDATE: I returned this coffeemaker to Walmart because of the defects and received the updated newer model. This coffeemaker still has the same sleek design that still looks great on my countertop and compliments my other stainless steel appliances.

So far we haven't had any problems. Clock has been working fine and the unit no longer turns off unexpectedly. However, the clock has changed. The previous analog clock is now digital. And it has no backlight. I contacted Mr. Coffee to inquire as to whether this was a defect. They stated it did not have a backlight. It's very hard to see the time unless you are right on top of it. Otherwise you see just the standard digits of "1888". Having no backlight does take away from the look.

The temperature control for the warming plate is no longer an option. That was a rather nice feature from the previous model. We haven't had any problems with lukewarm coffee so the temperature seems to be adequate.

With these two noticeable changes, I feel the price is too high. Paid in the low $60's at Walmart. When you take features away, one would think cost of manufacturing would decrease, and therefore cost to consumer would decrease. Not so!

This review is from: 12c Coffeemaker-Stainless Stee

I Bought the -1 yesterday from Lowe's at $60.00. I made 3 pots to clean out the unit and 1 brewed pot. NO hot spots on the counter although the heating plate area did get hot. (normal---it's a hot plate). When filled to the glass rim of the pot with water it made 12 6oz cups (always some water left in the grinds). I USE A 9 oz cup and I drink it black so I usually only get 7 cups. The -1 has a electronic type clock and is not back lit. (Could use the back lite as it's difficult to see from afar). Buzzer at end of cycle a nice touch. Brew time is normal and seems to work ok. I'll wait a few months as revisit...Tom..
