Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read some of the bad reviews and figured I'd give it a shot. It showed up, I plugged it in, marveled at how cheap the display looked for a $150 product, then went on to brew my first cup. The display started to act strange on the right side, having a few lines that were randomly being generated and disappearing, and now those lines are permanently there and the display no longer changes--at all. It displays nothing but "Hold 202," as you can see in the picture/video. It literally lasted a grand total about two minutes. Yikes. This is definitely a product I would not recommend--not at this price, at least. Maybe for $35. Anything more than that and it becomes a pretty waste of cash.
