Anyone have problems with this leaking? Worked fine for several months, but has covered my desk with water. Been sure not to overfill it too .

I've had no problems with leaking and have used it several times per day for over a year.

no problems with leaking. the only problem has been the lid won't open unless it has been steaming...

Seems to be a common problem with this unit. If you look closely there are two holes on the bottom. Mine started leaking from one of those. A safety feature perhaps, but seems to be a flaw also. I ended up replacing mine! It started leaking about 14 months after purchase. I used it every day.

I have had mine for maybe 4-5 months and have had no problems and I am a heavy tea drinker and fill it at least twice a day. One thing I would suggest is to only use distilled water. I had a Black & Decker which lasted barely two years and started to leak and I was using tap water. The Melitta is much heavier and well built. Also try not to use up all the water so that it is heating itself. That will damage it.

This has been in use in an office setting, getting almost daily use. No leaks. Is it leaking from the bottom?

Mine leaked. Your best bet is to return it but I was too lazy. I used an old sock and then the plug to prevent the table from leaking.

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

Mine has never leaked so I'm not sure. You may want to contact the company and ask them.

I've had mine several months now and use it almost daily. Never had any problem with it leaking.

That's NOT good. My system has never leaked. You should contact the manufacturer.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.

I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years - and never had a leak. Check and make sure the water container is fitted properly on the unit. Maybe yours is defective.

Yes, the previous unit started to leak and I replaced it with another. The present unit is working fine.

Thanks for the info.Mine just stared leaking.It is nice looking, but it is a cheap piece of garbage. The hour on the clock changes whenever, also. B&D; used to make quality products-what happened?

My machine did leak a bit too. When I moved the machine forward to fill up, I noticed water underneath it. My husband opened the machine up. There is a snap on piece and draws hot water up. He put silicone grease on it and it stopped. I will get more details soon on what he did.

Hi Sharon,Mine still not leaking after reworked as described by me. Really is a nice design but a minimum care from Black & Decker with us, "victims" of defective products like this one, is desirable.Cheers,Paulo

Mine worked well for several weeks ,then stopped,I have noticed some condensation in it,so,I presume it is not absolutely water tight,I have brought it inside to try to dry it out,to see if it will start working again.

I haven't had any problems with it leaking water when it rains. The top doesn't seal closed which may be because I have patio furniture.

I've had no problems like this. It seems there may be something else going on with yours. Was anything spilled on it?

I had one of these things a couple of years ago & it started leaking within a few weeks. It also didn't stay cool.Inconsistent quality is apparently the problem. Contact the company & see what happens. I returned mine to Bed Bath Beyond & told them the problem. Apparently I wasn't the only one to return them.
