Unfortunately, Amazon prices are rarely what they seem anymore. I've had issues with fake discounts many times, and its honestly disappointing how they inflate the MSRP just to show a fake 40 percent off. You basically have to use CamelCamelCamel to check the price history. For 80 bucks, you can usually grab a Keurig K-Mini or K-Express, but verify that history first so you dont get ripped off.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I've been super satisfied using a free price tracker to see the actual price fluctuations. Just grab any Keurig; mine works well and I dont have complaints.

Ugh, honestly this whole fake discount thing is such a headache and it makes me so frustrated. Over the years, ive tried so many different machines and the way Amazon lets these listings get manipulated is just exhausting to deal with. You think youre getting a deal but half the time you're just getting a headache. Here are some things that really worry me lately:

• Sellers hiding the fact that the warranty is basically non-existent because they arent authorized dealers.
• Listings that swap the product images or descriptions at the last second to something cheaper.
• Those sneaky refurbished units that are polished up to look brand new but die in a month. It really sucks that we even have to worry about this when we just want a decent cup of coffee. I started using a handy tool to help keep track of the nonsense, but man, the lack of reliability in these listings is just scary sometimes. Hope you manage to find a good one without getting burned like I have before.

Late to the party but @Reply #2 - good point! tho i disagree slightly on just grabbing any model. over the years, ive learned that checking the sold by field is more critical than the price tracker. for eighty bucks, stick to the k-mini or k-express shipped from amazon directly. its the only way to ensure the warranty is valid. tracker data is okay, but it doesnt always catch when sellers swap listings for refurbs.
