stronger than ever.even looks good.so far so good after 2 years Very very good unit (except for the plastic top} After 2 years it broke so i drilled the plastic top with a 1/4 20 hole & put a washer in side.
Problem is, it just isn't sturdy enough. I would like to echo the sentiments of the other reviewers. After reading the other reviews, I've decided not to order a replacement part and chalk this up as a bad purchase. Very disappointing. This pot is excellent, except for the plastic top. The lid is extremely tight and requires using the platic handle to remove it.
I have tried other types of percolators and this one makes the best tasting coffee. I'll probably never go back to drip. Coffee just seems to taste better when percolated rather than "dripped". Also, serves a hotter cup of coffee - which I prefer.
Overall a simple, fast, inexpensive online shopping esperience. Fast delivery. Good product that does not seem to be available in stores anymore. Great online price.
Well, this one is not made so that the perk top can be unscrewed; it has to be broken off of the top. It does look very nice but, like all the new percolator manufacturers, they seem to be concerned only with making a pot of coffee FAST rather than really brewing the coffee.
I prefer the old 450 watt percolators that really brew the coffee for 15-20 minutes. That's why the new ones are 1000 watts.
I bought this even with all the bad reviews about the top. Guess I'll use it awhile only while watching it, and if the plastic breaks I'll just ream out the hole to be able to get a replacement glass perk top into it.
Anyway, that's my take on this product. I thought for such a good price ($16) I would just replace the plastic perk top from the get go with a glass one.
Also, the hole it leaves in the top is too small for the "fitz-all" replacement perk tops.
