Review of Proctor Silex 43501H 12-Cup White Coffeemaker

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This month I needed to replace a budget Mr. Coffee machine with an equally low budget machine. I searched hill and dale at various stores, saw this item at the local bargain basement, and snapped it up immediately. Having used it several times, I can say that I'm very pleased with my purchase. For one, I liked how well designed the hot plate was. With the previous machine, it seemed all too easy for a really careless person to not have the carafe seated carefully. With this machine, the carafe almost seems to click into place no matter how hasty anyone is with it. This is a great a boon for households that have clumsy members who don't take the time to properly seat carafes.

A second thing that I liked about the machine is that it has a "Pause and Serve" feature, another great thing to have when said aforementioned clumsy household member likes to thoughtlessly yank the carafe out before the coffee cycle has completed, causing coffee to spill all over the counter. As soon as the carafe is lifted off the hot plate, the machine stops brewing, making for a very pleasant, spill free morning and not one filled with coffee-soaked sponges, flared tempers and lots of angry dish throwing.

As for the actual brewing itself, this machine does an excellent job of serving up to 12 cups of coffee in a reasonable amount of time. So if you're looking for a lowcost machine without any of the high tech frills of a more expensive one, you can't go wrong with this model. Just a warning, though, before you buy this machine-- unlike a few other budget models, it's not usable out of the box. So don't forget to buy either a permanent filter along with this product or a package of paper ones.
