Keurig B60/ B70 - Three Strikes and You're Out

We got our first Keurig B60 for Christmas....It seemed to be working but despite all of our efforts with the clock/menu....it would shut itself off on most occasions after the first cup....but then sometimes it would stay on.....it became a nuisance problem a few months back. We called and they sent out a new B70 model, and told us to keep the B60, and send back a key part for return credit.

We got the new B70 model about a month ago. Then, within 2 days, we noticed a problem when we could not turn on the machine with the toggle switch....We tried everything...but finally it would not turn on at all. I suspected a bad switch or contact.....Ok, so we called again, they would send out another B70 model and went back to the old B60 model until the new one showed up. At least the toggle on switch was working.

A few days ago, we got the new B70....and guess what...we are starting to have the same problem again trying to turn it on with the toggle switch. It's just a guess...but maybe the tolerance on the B70 switch is bad for 20 amp kitchen circuits which we have and eventually burns out the contact or switch...maybe a 10 amp circuit would be safer....Keurig should be testing these units more thoroughly. If this 3rd one fails....we will ask for a final refund....not another replacement.
