Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster RDXSS43 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Pretty good coffee maker (4+ stars)
Summary: 5 Stars
This Oster coffee maker has all the premiums features -- programmable brew time, steel mesh reusable filter, easy-to-read clock, brew pause, "aroma" setting for stronger coffee, and automatic shut-off. The clock, which glows blue, is easy to read in both daylight and dark. Unlike some models, which have the water level mark visible through a gauge on the outside, this one uses a step system that shows inside the reservoir how much water has been added. The "inside only" view of water level allows for a cleaner, all-stainless look on the outside, but some people may not like to judge either by the carafe markings or by looking inside.
Pros:
-- It looks nice on the counter, especially with other stainless steel appliances in the kitchen.
-- The features all work well, without any complicated steps or procedures.
-- The included, removable basket is deep enough to minimize overflow when brewing 12 cups.
-- Smooth exterior surface and easily removed basket makes it easy to clean.
-- Heating element turns off automatically after two hours to avoid burning coffee or leaving it on all day. (See cons as well.)
-- Very easy to program
-- Coffee brews hot and stays hot.
Cons:
-- Reservoir lid is large/deep, and you have to pull it out from under cabinets to fill it. Do not purchase if you don't have enough counter space/depth to pull it out, or if you cannot position it free from overhangs.
-- Carafe lid is difficult to remove
-- The heating element turns off automatically after two hours, which may be too soon for some people.
-- Brew time is somewhat slow, even without selecting the aroma feature.
-- Since Oster isn't a big name in coffee makers, obtaining replacement carafes over time may be more difficult.
I can't comment on longevity; however, people who live in hard water areas and who don't use a water softener should descale with vinegar on a regular basis. When I lived in such a situation, my coffee makers of varying brands seldom lasted longer than four years, even with monthly cleaning.
Although the Oster is a great option, I prefer the Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker. The difference is that the Oster is often discounted, which takes it to a lower price point where it becomes a real value. Shop around for the best prices.
