The Ninja Swirl has seriously leveled up dessert at our house. We’ve made soft serve, milkshakes, sorbet—you name it. The texture is smooth, the process is easy, and the cleanup isn’t bad either. I was a little skeptical at first, but it’s legit. We’ve started making our own “copycat” DQ Blizzards and frozen yogurt bowls, and it’s actually saving us money. You can load it up with toppings or keep it simple with just fruit, and it handles both like a champ. I’d highly recommend grabbing the extra containers too (we got a couple more)—it’s super convenient to prep a few different flavors and just swap them in whenever. If you’re even halfway into ice cream or frozen treats, you won’t regret buying this. It’s a hit in our house.
First use and the pan developed 2 bubbling.
Highly recommend! It easily makes very creamy ice cream and frozen yogurt in a few minutes. My kid loves it! The noise is a bit loud, but it worths!
I loved this kettle and used it every morning. Easy to clean and easy to use. After about a year of use - all the seams between the enamel and stainless steel, as well as the locations of screws, turned to rust. When I contacted Cuisinart customer service they replied quickly offering a replacement. Then they disappeared, won't answer any email or 'contact form' in their website. Needless to say, a new kettle never arrived. This is such a shame as I specifically looked for an US based company to buy from, so I can be sure of the materials and peaceful with the warranty...
Had to replace the top on my DLC8-plus after 33 years. I called cuisinart they said this model lid would fit, but they didn’t have one in stock. It just arrived and it fits perfectly :). Hummus tonight yippee :) After using this many many times I've discovered that it doesn't fit perfectly. Like pants after Thanksgiving something gives after a bit. While using with blade or shredder, so it doesn't matter if its top or bottom cutting, it kicks itself out of safety. This isn't dangerous, it just means that I have to hold it so it doesn't twist. That's all. Still grateful I didn't have to buy an entire new machine :)
Perfect fit for the original, sadly. I'm on my THIRD lid for this percolator. The clear plastic top has cracked on both and I fully expect the new one to crack in the exact same place in about 2-3 years. It's a design flaw I'm trying to get around by purchasing the "55700 Fitz-All Replacement Percolator Top, Glass" as I have one of the old lids still around. I'll post here with details either way. The percolator is great otherwise. The Fitz-All lid worked! see pictures of this new one and the fitz-all installed in the old one.
After less than two weeks of gentle use both pans developed black spots on the bottom. I believe this is due to erosion. The whole purpose to purchase stainless steel cookware was to get away from aluminum. Now I am afraid that due to erosion aluminum will leak into the food. I thought Cuisinart was supposed to be a premium brand. I thought they would use better quality alloys for their cookware. I guess I was wrong. I will try to return the pots and buy some other brand.
Very easy to sticky with cooking and hard to clean up afterwards. The stainless would discoloring and leave black stains.
Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is a generally good coffee maker with easy to use options for single cup or a carafe. Coffee brew quickly although the single cup isn't as hot as my wife likes. It's affordable and just about everything works well. There's one design flaw that I predicted would become a problem the moment I opened the package. The coffee pod has an extremely cheap little one piece plastic hinge on the lid that helps filter the water into the coffee. I knew it would break within 6 months, and actually within 3 months it broke from simple daily opening and cleaning. It's not the end of the world, just an annoyance, but they could have easily made this one part with longevity in mind. I will see if the manufacturer will send me a couple pods so I can make it the next six months.
I purchased this as a replacement for my 15 year old former Cuisinart mini chopper. I’ve trusted this brand for many years and it does not disappoint. It is actually much lighter than my old one and has a larger capacity - but still keeping its “mini” status. I appreciate that the cord winds up under the chopper for easy storage. Very powerful and easy to clean. (See pics for size comparison to other countertop appliances.)
My husband and I were looking for a new coffee maker and decided to get a cold brew system instead of the traditional coffee maker. Usually, we had to use ice cubes to cool off his coffee cause it gets too hot. So, we decided to get this cold brew system so he doesn't have to deal with cooling it down all the time with ice, plus it's summer. The flavor of the coffee is also very smooth and has no bitterness. The only downfall I've noticed, is the capacity. It only holds 7 cups and I have to make 2 to 3 batches of coffee to last until the next morning. I don't mind making a few batches and I usually just try to do them in the evening so it's nice and cold in the morning. If they were to make a 12 cup version, I would definitely upgrade.
I'm going to give this five stars even though it is not perfect. It is very sharp and is nice that comes with the glove because you need it for waffle fries. I have tried other ones and had to send them back. This has cut everything I've tried so far. There is a video on YouTube of the waffle fry technique. It has to be about 1/8 thick or you only get ruffled fries. The only way to get waffle fries with the holes is to cut them about 1/8 inch thick and they're more like potato chips. You have to rotate the potato 90° every time you slice.
When your large processor just flings everything up onto the side, this little processor tackles small batches with ease. I wish my regular sized Cuisinart was as thorough in whipping up guacamole and hummus so quickly. I was so impressed in this mini Cuisinart that I bought one for each of my kids to use in their homes.
I love this compact toaster oven/air fryer! We have only a 12-inch wide counter space on each side of our range, and I've been looking for a long time for a toaster oven that would fit there. I finally gave up looking, since they were all 15 inches or more wide. Last week I noticed this one in a store display and felt like I had struck gold! cuisinartoutlets.com had the exact same one for a lower price (of course), so I bought it. It is fantastic. I can bake in it, air fry, toast, broil, make pizza, and warm foods (dishes, rolls, cornbread, etc.) I have other Cuisinart appliances and love their products. I highly recommend this little oven if you only have minimal available counter space.
The lid is NOT durable. It was dropped from waist-height and the shatter diameter was at least 12 feet. The picture is grainy because I had to stand so far away for safety. The glass continued to pop and shoot up into the air for several minutes afterwards as seen in the video at the bottom of the lid. It literally sounded like Rice Krispies cereal. It was the oddest thing. This is not a safe product.
