I had a Black & Decker spacemaker model for 13 years and loved it. When it took its last breath, I naturally went with the new space maker. What a huge disappointment. I woke up one morning to find the grinds and water all over the counter. I called Black & Decker and they sent me a new brew basket. This one leaks all over the place, unless you tape it shut or wrap elastics around the front inner part of the basket. The clock changes time all by itself and after you pour yourself a cup of coffee, you need to put the cup in the microwave to make the coffee hot enough. Just the fact that it leaks hot fluid all over the counter should be reason enough to recall it. Black & Decker should be ashamed to sell such an inferior product.
Customer Review: A little dissatisfied
My B&D spacemaker is not even 2 yrs old and it has started leaking all over the counter while brewing. Also the clock never worked right from the beginning, always ran fast, so I had to reset it at night if I was going to use the auto brewing. Other than that, I liked it alot as it doesn't sit right on the counter and you can wash the water reservoir separately, which is difficult on a counter model (we have well water & it gets yucky.)
Microwave oven can be really great to use and remarkably easy to master but like every household appliance, one also needs to exercise some degree of caution.
Here are some of the dos and donts in using this versatile piece of equipment.
1. Read the manual carefully. Often, the manual will have some information on what you can and cannot do with the oven. Remember that what you can do for a certain type of microwave is not something that you can do for all models. There are different types of microwave ovens, having different functions.
2. Read recipes ahead of time and make sure that you can put it inside the oven. The food may need to be thawed first before putting it inside the microwave oven.
3. Make sure that you got the time of cooking right. Otherwise, you may have a burnt food in your hands or worst a burnt house. Be careful in setting the time.
4. Make sure that the plates and bowls that you use are microwave-safe as this may cause them to break when they are not. What is more, your own microwave oven can also break from the explosion that can happen inside.
5. Dont add another extension cord apart from the cord that was originally with the product.
6. Never use plastic wrappings as they will only melt under the heat of the microwave oven. Also, watch out for containers of some food like margarine tubs. It is also a good idea to use glass for fatty foods because they tend to become hot when inside the oven.
7. Dont use the microwave oven for deep-frying, canning or heating the baby bottles. This is considered unsafe as the microwave oven do not have enough temperature control.
8. In using the oven for your popcorn snack.s, make sure that you watch the oven. The heat build-up from the pressure may cause a small fire. Also, make sure that when you are popping popcorns, you have time right. In fact, it is often safer to cut down the time indicated short.
9. Dont ever use the microwave oven to dry articles of clothing. This is extremely dangerous as this may cause a small fire inside your house.
10. Never let your youngsters use the oven on their own.
11. Make sure that you keep your microwave oven clean from any dripping so that the machine will run smoothly. A messy microwave oven will be slow and uneven in functioning.
