When I used this for the 1st (and only) time, I found it noisyand slow. The pitcher doesn't fit snugly into the well, and when youremove it, instead of turning off the flow of tea (as advertised), it makes it flow heavier (which ends up in a mess). When I tried to clean it I found that a difficult task because the filter cup has ridges from edge to center, every inch all the way around. The reservoir got tea in it, and it's so narrow, you can't get in there with a sponge to clean it. When I tried to rise it out, tea flowed out from somewhere, and went all over the place (if I hadn't tipped it, the tea would have dried inside and ended up moldy). Don't waste your money like I did. Boil water, that's all this does. END

I bought this iced tea maker because a friend had a similar model from a different manufacturer. Thinking they were all similar I bought this one. I was wrong.This machine uses a spring-mounted lever that activates the flow of brewed tea into the pitcher, once the pitcher is placed in it's proper place. No matter how I placed the pitcher (even exactly as the manual instructs), the spring-mounted lever would open the valve only halfway (or not at all), leading the pot to fill with hot tea that spilled out of the top and flooded my kitchen. After two months of this, I threw it out.This product's design is simply flawed. I think the idea of iced tea makers is great, but this execution of it, with the spring-mounted lever valve, simply does not work. Look into another brand if you are thinking of purchasing an iced tea maker.

If you are an iced tea addict too, then look no further. It does indeed require a fair amount of ice-- but let's think about why. TEA requires HOT WATER to brew. You want your tea to be iced. So you have two choices: you can brew it hot, stick it in the fridge, and wait about five days until it reaches the right temperature. OR, you can use ice. This machine proportions it all PERFECTLY. ''Weak tea'' only happens when you don't use enough teabags. I get the best results with 5 or 6 regular teabags. It takes 5-10 minutes to brew a full pitcher, which is then ready to drink right away, nice and chilled. The reason this only gets 4 stars out of 5 is because cleaning it takes a little effort. (Ridges in basked, as mentioned before.) But you don't have to do that too often. BTW, a surprisingly great tea is the decaf "Ambience" blend from... of all places... Smart & Final! This makes a PERFECT iced tea. We go through a pitcher or two a day in the summer. And for the price, it can't be beat! What else are you going to do-- use a coffeemaker? The stove? Forget it! Load up the Salton, push a button, and you're on your way.
