Problems with Oster 4281 Counterforms 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker
The Oster 4281 Counterforms 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker has only received very few complaints from coffee drinkers who purchased and used it for months. Weighing just 8 pounds and measuring 2 x 13.8 x 9.5 inches, this coffee machine is quite fragile which can be a problem. Its carafe is breakable, so preparing coffee and cleaning it should be done very carefully. If you are in a hurry in preparing coffee, you might end up breaking its carafe. Another complaint is its lack of external indicator to determine the water volume inside it. The Oster 4281 Counterforms 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker’s lack of this feature can be inconvenient as it requires you to stand on your toes to look inside it while you are pouring water. This is the only way that you can see and determine the number of cups you are preparing for coffee.

I have pruchased two of the coffeemakers reflected on this page. one from Tuesday Morning
the the decanter leaked,I returned it,but they were sold out. I purchased the current one yesterday at fort Know PX exchange, plugged it in and nothing worked (dead). I will be packing this one up and returning it ( a 140 mile round trip). Needless to say I am very disappointd, I have a number of Oster products in my home, that work fine. I am considering trying another one, if you can give me some kind of insurance you will step in and help if the next on is a dud. Please
respond.
Thank You

I also bought the oster 4281 and it did not have directions. I checked on their website and it does not list it either. I just can’t figure out how to clean it, w/ the clean mode button.

I just bought an Oster 4281 and have the users manual in front of me. The cleaning cycle takes 45-60 minutes to complete. After hitting the CLEAN button the machine will slow brew 3 cups of cleaning solution. It will then pause for 30 minutes then brew the remainder of the cleaning solution. When complete, the CLEAN light will turn off and your coffeemaker will beep and shut off. Brew 12 cups of fresh, clean water through the coffeemaker at least two times to rinse the coffeemaker.

How do you turn the coffee maker back on after 2 hours?

The handle and top rim of the carafe detached from the glass body of the carafe after about two months of use. Still too early for a final verdict.

Purchased a 4281 in Jan 2008 and in March 2008 it quit pumping water to the coffee basket, plus the thing never made very hot coffee and did not keep it hot. I would never buy this product again.

Rec’d Oster model 4281 coffee maker as an Ann gift worked for two months. Sometimes you put in 12 cups of water and it only makes 4, sometimes 6 or 2. Tried to reurn it to Target, would not take it back wanted the upc code from the box. Who saves the box after a few days if it works. Tried cleaning maybe that was the problem, still did’t help. It makes the hottest cup of coffee, much better others I ‘ve had.
