Black & Decker Coffee Maker

Miranda of Monongahela, PA November 19, 2009

I purchased a black & decker spacesaver coffeepot model #SDC750. Within 2 months the pot quit working all together. Before that time, it overflowed hot water and coffee grounds all over my counter on several occasions. Thinking it was a faulty coffee pot, I returned it to Target and got another one. This time it overflowed on two occasions again, and quit working within 1 month! I will never be purchasing another Black & Decker product again!

I was given a B&D coffeemaker model#TCM450B for christmas of 2007. it was working find except it never poured good. then today I made a pot of coffee and there was this smell. the pot was melting to the base. This is a thermal coffeemaker so the base is not a heating surface but as I found out the heating unit for the water is under the base where the pot sits. So if anyone out there has this unit I would think about replacing it.

On February 18, 2009, I purchased a Black & Decker 8-cup Thermal coffee maker. After about 6 months the pot started dripping. Since then the coffee basket drips down the side of the pot, the basket fills with hot water but doesn't fall into the pot. When the basket is full, of course, we have hot water, coffee grounds and coffee all over the cupboard and under the coffee pot. Today this happened two times immediately after each other. We paid 49.99 for the coffee maker and I have my bill which I will be returning to Canadian Tire today. I will NOT be buying another Black & Decker coffee maker.

I bought the model CM5050 12-cup programmable coffeemaker at Wal-Mart. At first, there were no problems. After using it for about six weeks, the carafe now leaks when you pour it. We can't figure out where the leak is coming from, but no matter how you pour the coffee, the carafe drips. I'm very disappointed at the quality of this product!

purchased your coffee maker, cat. #de790b, typt 1. I 've read coments about this model and I agree with others with the same model. It doesn't even brew the coffee hot, and it doesn't keep the coffee hot. This household will NOT purchase any of your prodects.

Black & Decker should be ashamed to have their name on this coffee maker. I have used space makers for over 20 years, they usually last 4 to 5 years. At 2 or 3 pots a day I find this acceptable. I bought this new design, last exactly 97 days and leaked water. I was pleased Applica replaced it for 7.50 s&h, however they replaced it with one that did not leak water but lasted only 13 lousy days. I have contacted them again to see what they will do.

Even if they replace it everytime it goes bad, at 7.50 s&h, the time & effort of contacting them & installing the maker, keeping a spare maker handy for when the next one goes bad, I might as well suck it up and live with a counter top model. I say shame on Black & Decker.

I bought a Black & Decker coffee maker model# and after the first week it started to leak,so I took it back to the store and without any questions they gave me a new one.Now we went through putting up the brackets again and it took about 2-3 weeks and it started to leak again but this time it wasn't just a drip the basket was over flowing.I emailed Black & Decker about the problem and thier answer was for me to send the coffee maker with my receipt and they would replace it and they gave me a contact number.I looked all over for my receipt and found all but the coffee maker so I called the number and explained my problem and that I had registered my coffee maker with Black & Decker but had misplaced the receipt.

Well she made it very clear there wasn't anything she could without the receipt and suggested I look again.Well I was upset after all I spent over 50.00 for the coffee maker and bought this brand believing in the company,well my opinion sure has changed.Then about 2 months later I recieved a email about the recall funny how the registration means something when the issue is LIABLE for the product.

Then I got the new basket for the leaking coffee maker and it lasted about a month if that long and the spring that releases the drip broke off and you can see that they were made so fast because of the recall that it wasn't cut deep enough to hold the drip control.The story ends with the coffee maker being 8 months old still leaks and the sneak a cup feature doesn't work and I am out 50.00.I learned a lesson DON'T TRUST A BIG NAME COMPANY again

I received a Black & Decker DE790B two week ago. I had used it for one week and it was working fine. I was working on the computer and there was what sounded like a can exploding like it was on the stove in the kitchen. I found nothing and marked it off al a pipe expanding. The next day the same exploding sound came from the kitchen still found nothing.

The next day the coffee makes stopped working and the exploding sounds stopped. It became obvious that it was the DE790B Black & Decker coffee maker steam building up in the brewer. This tells me this could cause serious problems even fire or bodily engury. 50.00 lose
