    Works great! I like it a lot. Has great features to set the time when you want your coffee ready. Also allows you to pull the pot out mid brew if you can’t wait for it to finish.

    It’s an ok coffee maker. But for the price I would expect it to shutoff automatically. Most of my previous coffee makers shutoff automatically after a few hours. I would not buy that coffee maker again.

    Hi Stephanie, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the lack of an automatic shutoff feature didn’t meet your expectations, especially given the price point.

    Great Coffee Maker

    I love this coffee maker! I've had it for almost a year now and I couldn't be happier. As someone who has a movement disorder I appreciate how the water tank is removable to put on the counter next to the sink to fill it.

    Easy to use

    Absolutely love this coffee maker. I can preset it early for brewing the next morning (helpful on weekends when I am thinking about it for my husband's morning). Easy to use removable water tank, and reusable filter. Have encouraged my sons to get them for their houses.

    Terrible

    Just bought this item a couple days ago. The feature of pulling the carafe out while still brewing doesn't work. Also the worst of it is when pouring the coffee it leaks from the carafe itself. Don't waste your money

    Trouble with resevoir

    Our coffee make was purchased 8 months old. When the water reservoir gets lighter it lifts away from the coffee maker and leaves water in the reservoir. We started putting a coffee cup on top of the reservoir to hold it in place, but finally broke down and bought a new coffee maker today.

    Love it!!

    I really expected this brewer to not be impressive. Thought... oh it's just another thing with ninja slapped on it for branding. WOW was I wrong! 1. It makes a great pot of coffee 2. THE EASE OF FILLING THE WATER BASIN!! It's REMOVABLE! The fact that it's removable and clear brings me more joy than something like this should haha! It has a design that makes the basin easy to grip and hold. 3.Love the keep warm feature and the variety to brew temps. Great coffee pot. Purchased in October so I'm only a few months into owning it. I'll revisit this review if there's an issue with longevity.

    Do you really need to pay more for a coffee maker?

    Minus one star because the time display is distorted overtime and I can no longer preset my coffees to be made in the morning. Might as well go back to using a regular coffee maker because I really liked this feature. I would not buy this again.
