My first Bunn, my wedding present, lasted for 6 years - a record at my house! I bought my second Bunn for $75 on sale and it is still going strong after 4 years. So it is well worth the money. The ONLY thing I would change about my Bunn Coffee Maker is its size. It is bigger than the space between my counter and the cabinet above, so I have to have it on a separate counter off to the side with no cabinet above. It stands 14.3" high, 13.8" long and 7.1 inches wide. It is not huge, but its bigger than the average, run of the mill $10 coffee maker. I would not give up my Bunn for anything.
