Best coffee maker we've had.

We've had this coffee maker for more than two years now after going through several cheapo units - it is well worth the ~$80 we paid back then. We even got the Best Buy protection but we've never had to use it. I guess we've been lucky in not getting a faulty unit because we've never had any problems with it. Sure, filling it with water is a bit awkward - but a little patience and a little aiming skill is all you need to prevent spills.
The best feature is the auto-start - you program the timer only once (assuming you want your coffee at the same time each morning). Then every night I fill the water reservoir, place a #4 filter, add ground coffee and flip the switch up.
As fas programming goes, the controls are not immediately intuitive -- this unit goes for "looks" (old-style buttons, knobs, a toggle switch) rather than the easy one-touch operation. Just read the manual once to figure it out.
At the end of the day (or the beginning of the day, in our case), all we care about is waking up to the smell of great coffee -- this coffee maker continues to be reliable after 2 years. We are very happy with it.
What's great about it: Set it up at night, then wake up to the smell of great coffee.
What's not so great: Need to be a little careful when filling with water.

Works like a charm

No complaints here. I don't really care about brand names so long as it works as advertised. With 8GB, I can take more pictures that I will ever need, and now can realistically use my camera's (Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150) video function. You can't beat the price.
What's great about it: Works great in my digital camera, can't argue with the price
