I also bought my coffee maker from Tuesday Morning. The first one only made 1/2 pot and quit. I took it back and they gave me another one. It worked for a year, I have cleaned it often but it also has quit working and I’m very disappointed. It was the first coffee carafe that didn’t leak all over when you pour it into a cup. I saved the glass carafe and I’d love to send it to someone as it is in great shape. If someone lives in Ohio let me know I’ll mail it to you. Now can anyone recommend a decent coffee maker that I don’t have to take out a bank loan to buy!

I’ve had this Oster 12 cup coffee maker for 4 months. It leaks out the back now and I still can’t figure out how to program the thing to start brewing at a set time, it never works when I set a time.

My coffeemaker has lasted exactly one year and two months. It just starts brewing coffee and then stops and emits a sound as if it has finished brewing. I also tried the cleaning cycle but it does not work. It is the first time a coffeemaker suddenly quits working. I had an excellent Thomas coffeemaker for five years when I accidentally broke the glass carafe. Luckily, last month I was able to find the glass carafe for my old Thomas which I am using now even when it was in store for one year and does not have all the electronic features the Oster coffeemaker 4281 has.

Please send an email to janet1109 “at” yahoo.com if you’d be willing to send me a glass carafe for the 4281. I hit mine with my elbow and broke it into hundreds of pieces! I like the coffeemaker, I know how to use it, I just need another carafe!

I’m having problems trying to locate one to buy. I guess they must have stopped making this????

I guess I got lucky with my coffee maker. It has worked perfectly for the last 2 years, I just recently broke the carafe & am not liking that I can not find an easy replacement. I have the 4281. I’d be happy to buy one here! I don’t want to toss out the machine…

Boy can I relate to most of these complaints! My carafe pours more coffee on to the counter top then it does the cup. No help from the manufacturer. No replacement available. The coffee maker was a gift. Is only almost a year old. Went to Tuesday Morning, Target. No luck. Eventhough the coffee is pretty good, I will never recommend this or any other Oster product to anyone!

I also love this coffee maker, mine has worked perfectly for 2 years,,I never had compliments on my coffee before but this one did it,.Alas,now water pours out the bottom and is useless,,It seems I have a spare carafe now if anyone needs it.Can’t seem to find anything like it..I don’t like companies that don’t recognize a good thing when they have it..And then make newer products not as good…
