I had a plain basic Mr. Coffee coffeemaker for nearly 10 years that worked great, until the glass pot broke in the sink one day. I happily went and purchased this model thinking it would be just as good. Everything about it is fine except the pot dripped like a son-of-a-gun when you're pouring coffee. After about two weeks of irritation and swearing from both my wife and me, I took the machine to my office and got a Hamilton Beach model 43254.

Pot works OK. Very disappointed that clock (LED display) is NOT illuminated. So, you can't see the time unless you are 2 ft from display. The pot that this one repaced (same model)was illuminated.

We have owned the "Mr. Coffee VBX23 12-Cup Coffee Maker" for about 2 years and use it almost everyday. We have not had any major issues with it and our only complaint is that it drips a little when removing the pot.

It does make a perfectly acceptable cup of coffee and is easy enough for my 11 year old to use (and program). It would be nice if it had a battery backup for the clock since it loses it's programing when the power goes out in the middle of the night and then we wake up coffeeless :-( Having to reset the clock is a bit of a pain as well.

For the price it is a good everyday coffee maker.
