Total junk. Item barely matches the picture at all (much less detail on the handle), cross guard is loose and when you move the sword, it sounds like there are broken pieces rattling around inside the handle. Terrible. Returning as defective.

As soon as I took this out of the box, the computer part sounded like a rattle from a loose part inside the computer. Can't even use it on my bike because the noise is so annoying.

My set of speakers also has that loose membrane thing going by which there's a rattling sound with any reasonable level of volume. I'm going to take apart these speakers and try to glue the broken thing, but I'm not sure if it'll work, and I'm upset that I have to try to fix speakers at all.

OK, the noise it makes drives me crazy, I took it away from my son already and told him it broke.

The handle holds a bunch of water for some reason and leaks a lot when I use it. I have tried taking it apart to clean it, but it just fills back up as soon as I run it through the dishwasher again. The other day the handle to fell off rendering the entire spoon worthless. I am so bummed because I have a bunch of other Rachel Ray tools and now I am worried that they will fall apart too. :-(

My ONLY complaint, mine sounds like there's a little metal piece trapped inside, and the noise can be a bit irritating. I'm sure it's an isolated incident though.

When I unpacked this, there was a loud rattling sound from the bottom of the unit.  It sounded like the heating element was rattling around loose.  Amazon did replace the unit and the replacement does work (at lest it boiled one pot of water without leaking).

From my experience, and other reviews of this product, it seems that West Bend has a quality control problem.

Bottom line, it's the lowest priced 100 cup coffee maker I could find, and if you're willing to go through one or two tries, you will get a decent coffee maker.

The first time I shut the unit off, and every time subsequently, I can hear the motor rattling down to a stop.  It sounds like a product on it's last leg.
I'm keeping it, however, because it blocks out noise and I can sleep!

Very cute with nice sound, but handle keeps getting loose and unscrews

It's a very loose connection where the screened part connects to the handle.  Seems very flimsy.  I'll see how long it lasts before it breaks.  I almost would have preferred a solid piece construction instead of a two-piece construction.  It makes it more difficult to scoop without feeling like it's going to just snap apart.  The telescoping part works fine though.

I have had this power supply in my self-built desktop for many years and it has been rattling for at least 2. I thought it was hitting a wire but I actually think it is a bad bearing of the fan. I love the variable fan control and the fun colors and lights but I will not be buying this brand again.

The pencils rattle inside the tin box. That might explain why some of the filling are broken in pieces. For such a high end -- expensive -- item , the manufacturer should have had more cushioning inside the tin box. The vendor had the tin box very loosely pack as well. That must have worsened the problem.

I really hope this isn't a cheaply made cup that is falling apart. My cup was great for the first few days, until I started hearing this clanging and rattling metal sound inside the bottom of my cup. It sounds like there is a piece of metal rolling around inside the bottom. It's very annoying and frustrating as it makes noise every time I pickup the cup or move it. Don't get me wrong though, the cup keeps my drink very cold and the ice lasts a very long time. The rattling noise is driving me nuts though.
