Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I pre ordered one of the SDC850's a month ago and it showed up yesterday.Nice looking unit, but pretty por performance.
Mounting "Simply grasp the top panel and pull it off"I'm 6ft 185 lbs and couldn't get the top panel to slide off, maybe some C4 would help?No problem, it can be mounted in one piece.
The template doesn't have the measurements that the directions say it does.OK, figure that out and drill the holes.
Using the spacers required for my cabinets I find that the only screws that will work are the longest ones - which are so long that they bottom out in the front right hole.Out to the garage to cut the screw shorter.
Next I attempt to pull out the filter basket - won't come out.I pull on it hard enough to start flexing the entire coffee maker and it comes free.Turns out that the hole in the filter basket that engauges the retaining pin has a plastic "turd" still on it.Trim that off and it works well.
All mounted up, give the coffee maker a try.It brews a good cup of coffee.However, it doesn't seem possible to pour that cup of coffee without getting some all over the counter.
EDIT: It appears that my caraffe is defective, which is the reason for the inability to pour cleanly.The coffee leaks between where the stainless bottom and plastic top are glued together.I'll be contacting B&D warranty for a replacement.
UPDATE #2: Got ahold of B&D warranty and it appears that they have no parts or even any full units in stock.New pot is on order for me with no ETA.
Update #3: It's now April 3rd and Black and Decker still does not have any replacement caraffes to send. I should have returned the whole thing immediately.
Update #4: May 5th and still no caraffe.B&D's warranty service is unimpressive to say the least.
Final Update:May 15th finally received a complete replacement unit from B&D.Thankfully this one doesn't leak.

Product Description:
As part of Black & Decker's line of SpaceMaker appliances, this convenient coffeemaker not only brews up to 8 cups of hot, delicious coffee at a time, but it also comes in a space-saving under-the-cabinet configuration, which helps free up valuable counter space. The thoughtfully designed coffeemaker features a removable water reservoir for easy filling, a removable brew basket, and a simple on/off button, which starts the brewing process. For added convenience, it offers a blue-backlit digital control panel, a programmable clock, a delay-brew function (great for wake-up coffee), a freshness indicator, and a Sneak-A-Cup interrupt option that pauses the flow of coffee to allow for pouring a quick cup midbrew. A Perfect Pour 8-cup thermal carafe comes included, complete with a generous stay cool handle and nondrip pour spout. Other highlights include cord storage in the back of the unit for tucking away excess power cord when plugged in, a Save-A-Plug outlet receptacle to connect a smaller SpaceMaker appliance such as the SpaceMaker mini food processor/grinder or can opener, and a sleek modern design in black and stainless steel that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. Step-by-step mounting instructions and a pre-sized mounting template come included for easy installation (at least two of the mounting holes are the same as the original ODC coffeemaker, allowing for an easy upgrade). The coffeemaker measures approximately 12-3/5 by 10-2/7 by 15-1/2 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.
