Have had one for 10 years and would never buy a different drip coffee maker. Makes the perfect cup of coffee. Definitely a "buy it for life" purchase.

I second this. I picked up one second hand a while back. The placard indicates it was built in 1997. It needed a good cleaning and had clearly seen a lot of use, but is perfectly functional. The shower arm was showing slight signs of rust around the hole but getting replacement parts is trivial as the design hasn't changed in decades.
