Wow, had no idea that there was one with a yellow light! It would be nice to see it switching polarity, to keep an eye on it while it brews. As far as the other switch for fast or standard brewing, that sounds like a very nice switch to have, although I'm not sure how it could speed things up, except for giving it more power.
I did call the seller, but since I live in Germany, there was not much they could do for me. I was fortunate to have it sent to a friend in the military here, but they have left, and sending it through the german postal system would be too costly. If I lived in the States, it probably wouldn't be an issue to send it. I just feel like I got a raw deal, but I know it was not intentional. My loss, although it still frustrates me. I'm just hoping that I'm actually producing some good CS, that's what is important, right? :-) And if I understood correctly, when the green light goes off on yours, then it stops brewing? Even though its getting electricity? Do you think the generator turns itself off? Thanks for your input.
