Keurig Krap
I can’t believe it.
The Keurig B50 Coffeemaker that we bought ourselves for Christmas broke. Again. This is the third one that has failed in a little over a month. It seems that the unit goes into self-destruct mode after 2-3 weeks of use. We’re becoming well-acquainted with the return and exchange policy at Best Buy as a result of this piece of shoddy workmanship.
I was so annoyed about this most recent episode that I actually wrote three negative reviews for the Keurig B50. I even registered on epinions.com just so that I could proclaim my displeasure with the product in hopes of deterring others from making the same mistake.
Before you start shouting “user error!” see that others are having similar problems and shared them on this review.
It’s frustrating, to say the least. We’re thinking about asking Best Buy to give us store credit instead of an exchange so we can get a different brand. The only problem is that we still have about $50 worth of K-cups which are proprietary and cannot be used in any other type of single-cup coffeemaker. I suppose we could donate them to our friends R&R who are the happy owners of a Keurig, which oddly enough, has not broken down on them once.
I guess we just have a propensity for picking lemons. Too bad the Keurig doesn’t make lemonade.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
I really don’t know anything about coffee makers, but after the second lemon, I would have switched to a different coffee maker. However, I can see where your supply of K-cups got you in a dilema. Is Keurig a popular brand?
