Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was just about to write a negative review on this product, but i decided to give it ONE MORE TRY...I had tried the new, clear sealing ring twice before and both times it leaked horribly, but in the interest of fairness, i decided to try it again. before starting, i REALLY examined the ring, and lo and behold, there was a small spot of silicone on part of it, like a little drip or something. i scratched it off, and when i put the ring back in (i put it with the logo on the bottom part, don't know if this made any difference or not?) and set it to 2 mins with 3 cups of water per the "getting started" instructions in the booklet that came with the machine, IT WORKED PERFECTLY!! I'm so glad, because i am past the return window and i thought i got ripped off, and i HATE to get ripped off. anyway, check your sealing ring really, really well if youre having problems and maybe it'll fix it :)
