This review is from: Mr. Coffee CGX7 5-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Black (Kitchen)

We bought this 5-cup coffeemaker in September 2009 because we were unable to find a 4-cup replacement carafe at Wal-Mart and ordering one on-line cost as much as a new 4 or 5-cup maker. The new 5-cup coffeemaker worked well until January 2010 when we started experiencing what we assumed were power interruptions because the time and timer had to be reset 2 or 3 or more times a day. A "short" time later (pun intended), the display itself became fainter AND the coffeemaker would in fact lose power(shut off), sometimes right in the middle of making a new batch.
We are not heavy coffee drinkers, making only 1 batch per day. We assume the problems occurred because the buttons for the clock and timer are located just below where the carafe sits where either water or coffee is bound to seep into the button contacts, causing these problems.
One more thing. The last Mr. Coffee we owned didn't have the metal band around the bottom of the carafe. This new one does and, when you fill the carafe with water, some gets "trapped" in the steel band until you go to pour it in the coffeemaker reservoir and then it dribbles out on the counter.

I buy a lot of things from Amazon.com and I always read the reviews. I focus mostly on the 5's and the 1's, and the relative numbers of them.

Many times I 'write off' the 1s as folks who got a lemon or don't really know what they're buying or are just habitual complainers. But this time, I should've listened.

I bought this little coffee maker, and loved it - for about 2 weeks. And then it simply stopped working.

The lights come on (it's still a functional clock I guess) but it is no longer a coffee maker.

Look for something else - don't do what I did and assume that I'd get luckier than all the others who complained about this one...

I've owned two of these (I'm a slow learner). The first one's clock stopped keeping accurate time within the first week; it lost 5 minutes every hour. Since I rely on the delay brew for morning coffee, I returned it for a replacement. The second one worked nicely for a little less than a year, then died.
