This coffee pot is a wonderful product.  It is very quiet when it is brewing your coffee, and it is done pretty fast.  I like that you can pick if you are making half a pot or a full pot of coffee on the dial.  It does take a little getting use to having to click the button twice to get it started every morning if you don't use the timer.  You have to choose each time how many cups of coffee you are brewing before you can start the brewing process.  
Cleaning the carafe is a bit of a hassle.  It has to be hand washed, which is fine.  But, the opening on the top is small.  You can't get your hand in to wash it with a rag.  You will have to get a soft bristle brush to get the inside clean.
All in all, this coffee pot is great.  I'm happy that I got it, and look forward to using it for many years. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
