Black and Decker Spacemaker ODC440 12 Cup

Pros: saves coffee grounds, easy to use, doesn't make any annoying noises

Cons: mounting system

Review: I bought this black and decker coffee maker at lowes on clearance for, I don't know, so cheap it was worth taking the chance of throwing it away. But I love it! Mine hasn't been a piece of junk like many of the reviews said it would. Nobody else ...

Pros: The glass pot that doesn't drip, the lighted display panel, and the on/off switch

Cons: Difficult to install under the counter. However, thorough instructions are included.

The Bottom Line: I have been recommending this Model ODC440 Black & Decker Spacemaker to family and friends. I feel that it is extremely well designed and with several useful features.

Review: I recently purchased this coffeemaker to replace my previous one which I had for four years and was also a Black & Decker Spacemaker. This is the fifth one I have had. I like this one much better than any of the others. There is a feature which keeps ...

Pros: My carafe pours very well. Coffee is and keeps hot after being made.

Cons: Digital clock gains time

Review: My experience of the under cabinet B&D coffeemaker is so-so. Found if I only fill reservoir to just over 10 cups and not the 12 won't steam over and spray overhead cabinet. My issue is :purchased one, returned to B&D outlet (they replaced at no cost) ...

Pros: Countertop spacesaver

Cons: Clock will not keep time, clock display dim, cheaply made.

The Bottom Line: If you don't use the timer and really need a spacesaver get it. if not save your money.

Review: We recently received as a gift the ODC440B Spacemaker to replace our very old Spacemaker ( the analog clock/timer was broke). I have owned an older spacemaker for years, the under the counter mounting is great for saving space. The new unit is easy to ...

Pros: Saves counter space.

Cons: Poor design. Excruciating installation process.

Review: We have had many Black and Decker under the counter coffee makers over the years which, first off, tells you they don't last that long. The latest one has been a disaster from day one. When you put the glass carafe in, the mechanism kicks out the ...

Pros: wonderful spacesaving idea. We fixed the problem by snapping off the "sneak a cup" feature.

Cons: defective design. I am very tired of cleaning up all the coffee grounds.

Review: Loved the space saving design, no problems installing it. Problems started on first one w/in a week, it'd overflow periodcally than just stopped working altogether. Bought another one, worked great the first two weeks, than "SURPRISE" it started ...

Pros: Sleek design, loved the black color.

Cons: It leaked and then only lasted 6 months before it went up.

Review: We have had 3 of these in the family, 2 of the 3 leaked all the time when the basket was filled. All 3 went up within a year, one of them only lasted 6 months. The mounting left the bolts sticking up in our cabinet, since they bolted straight up into ...

Pros: Smart styling and improved placement of clock/timer electronics.

Cons: Unsafe, Messy, Hard to see only part-time backlit LCD digital clock/timer, Burn and Cut hazard.

The Bottom Line: Avoid this unit

Review: I have owned and used with pleasure the previous models ODC300 & ODC325) to the Current B&D ODC440. Previous B&D Space maker coffee makers were a godsend to the RV'ing community saving limited cabinet surface space in otherwise small RV kitchens. I use ...

Pros:

Saves space, Controls located high on unit

Cons: Clock is fast, Unit mount is flimsy

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend it - poor design, fast clock and multiple failures have been reported

Review: Black amp; Decker Spacemaker (ODC440) 12-Cup Coffee Maker:Purchased at a local retailer 10 20 08. Installed unit under cabinet. I was unhappy with the mounting system designed for this unit. The mounting bracket is only 1 2 length of unit. This ...

Pros: Space saving design, timer function, glass carafe.

Cons: Difficult installation, routinely leaks, sometimes vomits.

The Bottom Line: We can no longer recommend the Spacemaker coffee makers as poor design outweighs any benefits.

Review: This is the fourth or fifth Spacemaker coffee maker we have owned. Prior models featured a shorter unit overall, making more usable space underneath, but we were glad to see that Black & Decker returned to the glass carafe (the model immediately prior ...

Pros: style function(when it does)

Cons: zero value for price cuz of nonfunction hassle

Review: My purchase was dec 2008. install was no problem once we found the time to do it. i loved the look and the performance until the display died in Feb 2009. the unit does not come on, will not brew, will not warm...it is dead and we had only used...
