" ... The hotplate has chipped plastic. ... "
" ... The plastic above the heating plate cracked. ... "
" ... - The carafe seems kind of cheap, with the plastic collar around the rim, and the ill fitting cover that rattles around more than i expected. ... It is hollow and light which makes the overall product feel top heavy, and cheap. ... "
" ... I checked in the back and it turns out that the two parts were not adequately sealed and glued together. ... "
" ... The first one broke within a few days of use. ... "
" ... The first was large and I almost cut myself, and luckily I checked the 2nd time because it was in the back and I probably would have missed it. ... "
" ... However, it smelled profusely like plastic. ... So, I went to return it but in my attempt to give it a fair chance to stop tasting like plastic, I went over the thirty day return. ... "
" ... Factory-issue holes in the plastic. ... "

" ... (I still need to read about the flip up above the swing-out basket. ... "
" ... Love the swing out basket. ... "
" ... easy to fill water tank under low cabinet. ... "
" ... It takes up a lot of space on the counter. ... "
" ... You just lift the lid in front, on the top, and we use gallon bottles of water, and fill it. ... "
" ... The coffee tray is easier to reach and clean and the water reservoir is in front so you don't need to pull the unit away from the wall to fill it. ... "
" ... I do like the design (for the most part) the front fill flap is definitely the best feature. ... "

" ... It's decidedly more convenient. ... "
" ... Some other reviews made it sound like this Hamilton is, "small" or "compact". ... In fact, it is supposedly designed to fit under cabinets. ... Had this unit fit under my cabinets it would be the ideal replacement. ... "
" ... This unit works while staying between the upper and lower cabinet. ... "
" ... The manufacturer has put a plastic piece in the design that allows for a perfect pour without spillage or dripping off the sides causing drips when you are filling your mug! ... "

" ... The device is portable and small. ... It really fits my kitchen. ... "
" ... Well I decided to try another brand it this fits the bill. ... "

" ... Even set on bold, the water runs through so quickly that it’s not heated sufficiently. ... "
" ... We didn’t realize that until it was on for over 6 hours and the pot was extremely hot. ... "
" ... and the coffee just keeps pouring out to splatter all over the heating pad and splattering everywhere. ... "

" ... Perhaps the biggest annoyance is that the unit turns off the burner (heat source under the coffee) after, what I consider to be a very short amount of time. ... "
