Lettering too small and no back light for the small clock.
I bought this refurnished, it came with a broken plastic corner, no problem,glued it and got a partial refund. But the cheapos don't include the metal filter and don't give a warranty. The lettering is hard to read, too small. On the plus side, it brews quickly, and the carafe pours nicely, no drips. Also, when removing the pot while brewing, it doesn't drip as the stopper is spring loaded. It sets up okay,but the clock is small and no back light, so have to squint when using it. Will brew 1-4 cups and it's super hot. For a large pot, I use the M setting, and it's plenty hot.
I don't use the timer functions as I have it ready to go and just toggle the power on, like I said, brews quickly.
If you can get a good price on it, buy it, if not, don't.
