I wanted a unit that would brew a pot, or a single cup.  I found this one, and it had great reviews.  I bought it last year, and loved all the features & that the coffee stayed hot in the carafe for several hours.  It worked perfectly for the whole year, then all of a sudden the single side stopped working. We called to get tech support, and they sent us a brand new one.  I was so glad they replaced because I love this coffee pot, but if I had to buy a new one every year, the price was not worth it.
