 Proctor-Silex 48574 Coffeemaker March 9, 2007
Mike M. (West Texas)
Love it. It's everything it's advertised to be, and the coffee pot doesn't spill all over the place like the other brands do. Coffee tastes great.
 Disappointing, but what do you expect for the price? December 12, 2006

We've used Proctor-Silex products in our home before and expected a product of slightly better quality.
This coffeemaker functions, but only on a very basic level.
The entire unit is light and flimsy-feeling (it moves every time you press one of the buttons on the front), and it's nearly impossible to load it with water without spilling the contents of the carafe.
The LCD clock is ridiculously small and virtually unviewable. The LED lights in the switches are so tiny and dim that you can't readily discern whether or not the appliance is even on.
If the carafe seems smallish, that's because it is. The "12-cup" claim is dubious, because Proctor-Silex is apparently now using a smaller cup size in making their measurements. Our former machine would make enough coffee to fill our 11-ounce coffee mugs a total of six times. This coffeemaker will fill four 11-ounce mugs, with perhaps a couple of quarter-cup servings left over.
I can't really fault Proctor-Silex for making this appliance -- they need machines at all price points, and it DOES make coffee. But there are NO "bells and whistles," and the entire things just has a "cheap" feel about it.
We're already looking forward to replacing this model, and you can be assured that the next time we'll bite the bullet and spend a few dollars more to get something a bit better.
 Horrible plastic taste even after cleaning several times June 15, 2006

Most of the times, we use a coffeemaker to heat water or make tea instead of coffee. I didn't expect the quality is so bad. Before I used it, I boiled about 3 cups of water four times. But the water still had horrible plastic smell and taste.
After reading the instruction, I found out that I was supposed to clean it with vinegar and then 12-cup water twice. I cleaned for three cycles. And then I cleaned with 12-cup water for a couple of more times. The bad smell and taste were still there. I ended up not using it any more. I owned another coffeemaker (Mr Coffee, a cheaper, smaller model) for almost 6 years, and it never had such problem.

The only complaint I have is when you pour the water in or pour a cup of coffee. The pour spout is too small and you have to pour slowly!! Sometimes that doesn't even work and I end up with paper towels moping up the counter top. I have bought this brand for years because it last longer than any coffee maker I have ever bought!!! If they fixed this problem it would be a perfect coffee maker!!!!!!!!
