I bought 2 of these. The first one lasted less than 2 months. I thought it was a fluke and bought another without reading reviews. Shame on me. The second has last less than 3 months. The coffee is good but the coffeemaker is not durable. I noticed it had started turning off before the 2 hours and now is turning almost immediately after it brews. I will not buy another Mr. Coffee.

I bought this model last July (2017). Love the features and the brand. It has everything a basic type coffee drinker like me needs. But this morning, it turned on only to have the heating element go out so no coffee :-( After work I went out and bought another model but this time I took up Walmart's over for protection plan. Sure hope this new one lasts longer than 14 months. But overall, I'm extremely pleased with the model, the product and the name

I purchased the Mr. Coffee Performance Brew 12-cup Coffee Maker a little over 10 years ago as a beginner coffee drinker while in college. After living on my own and storing for a few years to try out a Keurig, I recently started using daily again to accommodate the needs for my fiance and I. After all those years the quality in taste hasn't gone down and it still brews like new. As expected after extended use, the carafe cracked on us a few weeks ago however, after looking at current models on the market we decided to purchase a replacement carafe instead. Highly recommended!

I tried to run the clean water through before brewing my first pot. It took 45 minutes to run 6 cups of clear water through the coffeemaker. Thank God there is a timer on the pot. I can set it two hours earlier than I wake up and have a cup of old coffee before I go to work.

Absolutely love this coffee maker when the ladies and I get together at a friends house for brunch. Her Mr. Coffee maker always makes it into the conversation because we can pour a cup of coffee mid brew. Which is fantastic since we make more than one pot a coffee at a time with our large gatherings. Looking forward to have one in the office for my fellow coworkers.

We purchased this machine and it worked okay for a month, we have it on strong setting and the coffee comes out watery and can see through it. We put more grounds in and no change, we cleaned it with vinager and it worked for week, now it does this all the time. It appears the water does not spew out and cover all of the grounds while brewing. I have expensive grounds I grind and can't enjoy the GREAT coffee flavor.

Bought this MrCoffee on December 31th. On Feburary 17 it would no longer work. Lights come on but it does not pump water out to make coffee. Tried different electrical outlets and tried to use the clean option nothing worked. Seems to be a LEMON. I have had several MrCoffee's in the past without a problem.

This is the SECOND COFFEE MAKER THAT I HAVE TO GO BACK AND EXCHANGE. THE PANEL WHERE THE TIME IS DOESN'T LIGHT UP!!!! RIDICULOUS!! How many mone boxes I have to open To get another one that doesnt iluminate!! Very upset. I drink coffee all day long. I guess I should CHANGE BRAND AFTER ALLLLL THIS YRS.!!

If you want a cheap coffee maker that lasts just beyond the warranty period, go ahead and buy this unit. Had a Sunbeam version of this maker, lasted about 2 years, then crapped out. Bought a replacement one as it is affordable (same make and model), lasted just over a year. Makes decent coffee while it works. Leaving a review under Mr. Coffee, as when I opened up the unit to troubleshoot the malfunction, the Sunbeam exterior has Mr. Coffee components inside. Failure of the t-stat seems to be a common issue.

This is my second coffee maker both exactly the same. I just thought it was a fluke when the first one died. I loved the features so I bought another one. This time within a year after the second stopped working too. They both had same problem . It just stopped brewing and the plate wouldn't get hot. I'm so disappointed. I love the features and the color but I need one that will last awhile.
