I just bought this and used twice. Water leaks out of the front of the base. is this common? i don't want to saturate my carpet every time I use.

Ours hasn't leaked. I just make sure I don't overfill it. I did read somewhere that you're not supposed to leave water in it. I leave water in mine though.

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

I just went through this issue as well, with the New and Improved filters...as Special Etc mentioned, it was because I hadn't pushed down on the filter enough to create a seal. I could actually see water leaking out the bottom, in addition to it pouring out the 4 holes. After pulling it out, re-inserting it and pushing it down hard, it sat much better and the filtering was back to normal again.

Mine has a water build up inside that I must dump. I don't have any water leaking out on the counter

I have this issue with mine. The handle doesn't lift high enough to lock it into place, so not only does the tank tend to fall out easily, it constantly drips and leaks. It didn't start until after the return date, so I still have the carpet cleaner and I still love it, aside from this annoying issue. I could probably order a replacement tank for it and solve the issue once and for all.

You bet it's defective, Our 1st one we have had a year, we have had the 2nd one 7 months, neither on leak so if you can I'd exchange it.

I've never had a problem with mine--I've had it two years and it still works great. I'm sorry yours is leaking. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

I have had mine for years and never had a problem. Sounds like to me, you have a broken seal. It's getting wet inside. Sorry.

Other than the water left over in the grooves from either rinsing or over filling it and then closing it I haven't had a problem with it leaking. It could also be the rubber attachment, I took nine off right when I got it because it was irritating me.

I didn't experience a problem and I had two of these. First, make sure you empty the condensation tank on a regular basis. Second, make sure it's level. If the unit is on some type of uneven surface, that could cause water to leak out. Also you can run an evaporative drain hose from the tank bib to continually drain the tank if you're in a high humidity area. Other than that, I'd call LG technical support.

I noticed that the stream/water pressure is released into the bottom tray after use. This seems normal and a good thing since I would rather have that happen than what I have seen from other machines. Just keep an eye on the level sensor and dump the water from the tray accordingly or better yet empty the tray after each day's use. I love my machine and had it for ~6 months. It is the best espresso machine out there for the money.

I finally installed this faucet a couple weeks ago. We noticed that everytime we connect our portable dishwasher to it it leaks under the sink. I see water dripping from the center where the tubes go up into th ebody. Has anone ever seen this? Is there a fix? It only seems to happen when under pressure.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

I've not had any issues. If it's leaking underneath, there may be a crack. Also be sure to not over-fill the water tank. Additional information is in the user guide on page 14 (http://kitchen.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/melitta/mes2b.html?p=14 ) and addresses leaks. I hope this helps.

No...works the same way on hard floors as it does on carpets. I have seen reports that this model does leak water over time. I have only used mine once so far, and it worked great.

Mine leak's as well. My wife doesn't fill it to the top anymore and it doesn't leak then.
