The Bunn 38700.0010 is a fully automatic, high-capacity drip coffee machine with a 28.4 L reservoir and 3550 W draw, priced at $895. That power rating and capacity are firmly commercial territory, this machine is not sized or specced for home kitchens.
Commercial foodservice operations, large office environments, or event catering setups that need a high-throughput automatic drip brewer. The 28.4 L capacity and 3550 W output are designed for continuous, volume-first brewing.
Skip if
Home users, anyone on a standard 15 A household circuit, or buyers who do not need commercial-scale output. The 30 lb weight and $895 price confirm this is not a consumer appliance.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Bunn 38700.0010 is built around a 28.4 L capacity and a 3550 W heating element, specs that place it unambiguously in the commercial drip category. It runs on 120 V with fully automatic operation and button controls, using a drip input method with paper filters. The stainless steel body carries a silver finish across 22.5 x 9 x 23.6 in dimensions.
At 3550 W, users need to verify that their electrical service can support the load before installation. Most commercial and light-industrial settings will have the appropriate circuit, but this is not a spec to overlook. The 30 lb machine is a permanent or semi-permanent placement rather than something repositioned regularly.
With only 23 reviews and a 4.1-star rating, the feedback pool is thin. The low review count is typical for commercial equipment that sells through specialized channels rather than mass retail, not necessarily an indicator of product quality.
Pros
28.4 L capacity handles large-volume brewing without frequent refills
3550 W heating element for fast, consistent output at scale
Fully automatic operation with minimal user involvement

Standard button controls, no complex electronics
Cons
3550 W power draw requires a verified compatible electrical circuit
$895 and 30 lb make this impractical for home use
Only 23 reviews, limited buyer feedback to evaluate
Dishwasher safe status not confirmed; hand cleaning expected

What buyers say
The 4.1 stars from 23 reviewers represents too small a sample for firm conclusions. Buyers of commercial brewing equipment at this capacity and price point tend to be experienced purchasers with specific operational requirements, not first-time coffee appliance buyers.
