Disadvantages

The clock may also need a little bit of an improvement in the form of an internal battery that will keep the clock accurate even if the power is off.

The plastic construction is also not a favorite feature of some buyers. There are also reports of the machine not making full use of the water in the reservoir and carafe leaks.
