If it is true that they don't last all that long, at that high price, are
they worth it?
I bought a popcorn popper about 20 years ago that gave up the ghost roughly
a month ago. Not bad for $25. I bought a replacement this month from
www.amazon.com
for not much more than the cost of the original, which I found surprising.
As for any merchandise, the excuse that "things aren't made like they once
were" is not a valid excuse for charging very high prices. Fact is, they
should cost less due to that fact. Make them cheap, sell them cheap but
sell a ton of them and make more money. Or make them cheap, sell them high
to make people think they're well made with quality, and sell 1 or two to a
customer who then tells others of their experience, and then don't sell all
that many in the future. Eventually go out of business due to a lack of
sales based on word of previous customer mouths.

I've heard people say their machine doesn't last a long time but they're
not meant to last forever. You all know things aren't necessarily made as
good as they used to be but I'd still buy another one anytime. I hate
measuring out coffee, hate to have to clean up afterwards. I really love
the convenience of these machines. You can buy the very small ones at
around $99 and if you like to watch QVC, they run specials on them. I got
my second machine free because I'd hat it less than a year but something
happened to the K-cup holder so I got it free.
