Subject: Issues with the Bodum Santos 12 cup coffeemaker switch
|
I purchased this coffeemaker for my neighbor as a Christmas gift last
November from Sur La Table. After three months the switch would stay
on for a few seconds, then turn off. She contacted Sur La Table and
described the problem. They said they would make an exception (an
exception?) this time and replace it. Her second unit worked fine for
three months and then the switch went out again. Anyway Bodum will fix
it because it has a two year warranty. I'm curious if other users
have had the same problem. She said she's tried other appliances in
the same outlet and have worked fine. I'm surprised at Sur La Tables
attitude about replacing or fixing a unit still under warranty.
Perhaps they have received complaints about the unit before.

Most of the reviews I have read for this machine, have been very positive
regarding the coffee it produces but very negative regarding the quality of
the unit.

Luck of the draw. Mine have worked for years without trouble. The mini
was so great, I bought a second one for larger groups.

Once "burned"-- twice shy I would say.
I suggest you return it for FULL credit, while you still can. There
are many other good alternatives out there.

Ahhh. So the contacts are surrounded by plastic. That would explain
the problem. I wonder if Bodum is upgrading the contacts or just
replacing the bad ones with the same thing. Interestingly, i bought
the same coffeemaker for my son and he hasn't had any problems with
his. Go figure.

I gave up on Bodum plastic kettles because the plastic around the
switch contacts deformed in normal use, becoming intermittent.
