First, this is a very good coffee maker. Coffee is flavorful and is kept hot in its dispensing reservoir. Having no carafe to wash is nice, however, the coffee reservoir tank has to be similarly cleaned (it is removable) and given all of its crevices, is actually harder to clean than a regular carafe. The polished metal heating pad at the bottom of the reservoir will stain within a few weeks of use (you can de-stain it by using some Barkeeper's Friend cleaning powder but, again, this is more work than you'd have cleaning a regular glass carafe). And you absolutely must keep the spring-loaded pour spout clean to avoid drips. Another issue with the reservoir is that it has a catch that connects to the machine's coffee "fuel gauge" so that you know how much coffee is left in the tank. This is a great feature, however, you can expect it to fail with 100% probability within 2-3 years of your purchase and, as far as I could tell, there is no way to fix it (I honestly don't even know why it fails since it's presumably a simple float mechanism). You can purchase a replacement reservoir right here on cuisinartoutlets.com for $45 (search for "Cuisinart Coffee Reservoir"). While this will fix the fuel gauge problem, depending on the price you paid for the coffee maker, the replacement reservoir can be as much as 50% of your original purchase cost. We purchased a replacement reservoir about 2 years after purchasing the coffee maker when the fuel gauge stopped working properly. The replacement actually lasted much longer than the original, around 6-7 years before it failed. At that point, I just bought another Cuisinart Coffee maker on sale because it was like getting a replacement reservoir for $45 plus an entirely new coffee maker for about that same price (gave away the original coffee maker with the wonky fuel gauge). We're much more diligent about cleaning and drying the water and coffee reservoirs so that they don't accumulate ugly scale. We never encountered a "clean" light issue as some reviews have mentioned here. Again, this is a very good coffee maker but be aware that it requires cleaning diligence and the coffee reservoir will almost certainly need to be replaced within a couple of years of your purchase if you want to have a working fuel gauge. The original Cuisinart coffee maker we purchased 12 years ago is essentially identical to the one we just purchased so Cuisinart, who are undoubtedly aware of the issue with the reservoir have made no attempt to address it. My advice would be to only buy this on sale (around $80-$90). Do not pay the regular price (about $120) as this machine is not worth that amount given the future additional costs that you will be paying.

I thought that the taste of this was pretty decent, not quite as good as I expected. It has more of an earthy flavor, imo. My palette is used to pistachio ice cream so this was a huge jump from that. This is more like a lighter version of actual pistachio ice cream. I had to knock 2 stars off of the rating because this arrives unsealed. That concerns me because it can be tampered with and we don’t want to take any unnecessary risks in the pandemic. I won’t be buying from this brand again until they seal the top.

I am very late to the whole air fryer thing so I do not know how this thing stacks up against others.  But W O W  -- this is truly amazing.  Cooks evenly and crisp, the different sized containers mean seamlessly and effortlessly moving between prepping and cooking multiple items quickly and easily, and hot-swapping between courses and portions.  I cannot get over how quick and easy cleanup is.  And how portable.  Most highly recommended.

We purchased one of these mixers in in brushed silver/chrome on April 24th, 2016, ($79.99 then) and it has always worked perfectly. It is used for cakes, cookies, breads, potatoes, etc - usually once or twice a week. It never had a problem until recently, when the plastic push button on the top cracked into 3 sections and dropped inside the case. I also noted the cord is worn, with the outer plastic covering coming off the wiring at the base of the mixer. So figured it is time for a new one. Since color didn't matter, we opted for one in white at $59, vs $99 for another brushed silver/chrome model. ($20 price increase in 9 years). While waiting for the new one, I started thinking about possibly repairing the old one. The re-wiring wouldn't be a problem, but the button looked like a potential issue. An on line check found a video showing a reviewer taking the mixer apart for a comprehensive review of the components , and was very helpful. BUT, it described the electronic design and components as fairly cheap, with a number of shortcuts taken in motor and circuit design. Not very encouraging, but then, it had lasted 9 years, so I plunged ahead. Surprise! When I got my 9 year old mixer apart, everything was in the same place as the video of the newest version - same model number - but the old version components were much more robust, and had more elaborate circuit designs than the video of the newest version. In fact, all the concerns listed in the video review were completely absent in the old mixer. More sophisticated electronic circuitry design, apparently different motor, more robust appearing beater ejection mechanism, etc. It was so much more impressive than the video review of the latest version, that I resolved to keep the old one working, reserving the new one as a spare. (If in 9 years the contents had been cut so much while the price went up $20, a spare mixer at today's prices seems reasonable.) I haven't opened the new mixer to see if the insides match the video review of newer versions because of warranty concerns. Cuisinart REALLY doesn't want you inside. Four plastic plugs have to be drilled out to get to the assembly screws, making it obvious the mixer case has been "user opened". After blowing out all the flour and dry ingredients from inside the old mixer housing and gears, the rewiring was easy, and the swivel mechanism for the cord in both models is a very nice feature. The original instructions didn't describe the action of the cord mechanism. It will swivel freely unless you force it to click into a locked position at either the right or left side - handy! The button repair consisted of super gluing the 3 chunks back in place, wrapping the outside of the button with a thin layer of HVAC metal tape, and using either 2 part epoxy or a mix of super glue/styrofoam beading (youtube trick) in the void spaces on the back side of the button. Seems pretty strong, at least for now. Re-assembly was prolonged, as some of the wiring ribbon cable and the beater mechanism could only be re-assembled one way - with a circuit board going through a slit in the middle of the ribbon cable by the beater ejection mechanism! (If you ever do this disassembly, take pictures first!!) But eventually it was done, and has been happily mixing cookies and cakes to this date. If the button on the old mixer fails in the future, I might just swap in the button from the latest version (Identical case and controls on both versions). But if it fails electronically or mechanically, it is old enough that I will just use the new dumbed down version. The trend these days seems to be disposal after boredom or minor issues occur, in everything from cars and phones to jobs and relationships, and doesn't seem to be reversible, so....

ZERO STARS Look for a better product. Mine was fine for the first two uses but today a bunch of white powder like material came out of iron. The powder is stuck on the jeans ( hoping it comes off) and is now stuck onto the iron. I do not recommend this item.

This thing is FANTASTIC! I love everything about it. It does a great job of chopping/shredding meat to whatever degree you wish. It fits under my cabinets. It is all plastic, so no worry about dropping it & glass breaking. Best of all? Every part that touches food can be washed in the dishwasher! ONE WARNING, though: if you hand wash its blades, you must be VERY CAREFUL. It comes with dire warnings about how sharp those blades are. So, this is ideal for people like me who ONLY washes dishes in the dishwasher. For people who don't use a dishwasher, may be a bit dangerous to clean its blades.

I have recently mounted this in my "La Petite" 50's kitchen and I Love it! I actually purchased this two years ago but it was never mounted when I realized that the site I had decided upon did not have studs to mount it on. It was forgotten in storage until recently when I re-discovered it while cleaning. It was not hard to hang this one piece bar. The most time consuming part of the task was actually finding a good spot with studs. It is currently hung over the window of my kitchen sink and is holding 6 pots of various sizes, a 14 inch grand griddle, 5 mixing bowels, 3 various sized fry pans, a steamer, a wok, and collender. All of these items are made from stainless steel and/ or copper are VERY HEAVY. There is also a wooden bread board, drying herbs, and strings of peppers hung up. The rack remains tight to the wall and does not appear strained in any way. The rack is a heavy gauge stainless steel with a brushed finish and should really last a lifetime. The price was good at less than a third of many of the racks that I looked at. I purchased the Cuisinart brushed stainless steel pot rack hooks #CRUH-6 to use with the rack. They are the perfect size and weight and hold the pans at an angle so that more items will fit on the rack. The original 4 hooks which came with the rack were lost so I cannot comment on them. However, 4 would never have been enough anyway. This simple bar pot rack has done wonders for my kitchen! Besides freeing up much needed space it fits perfectly in the little space that I have. I no longer need to store pots in my stove due to lack of space. I can immediately hang up my pots and pans after washing as well so a dish drainer is not needed. It is a visual centerpiece which has breathed life into a less than ideal kitchen! Highly recommended! Update Oct 2017: Still love the pot rack. I have purchased new pots and pans and everything fits really well. Mounted near the ceiling over the sink it is not in the way, provides much needed storage for pots, pans, utinsils, bread boards, and mixing boards and adds a lot of visual warmth. Great for a small kitchen, you just can't go wrong with this.

I needed to chop my son's food as he doesn't chew well (handicapped, no teeth). This little chopper does exactly what I need it to do. First picture is from a frozen meal, second picture is the results after a few seconds of chopping. Third picture is ham before, fourth picture is after. The fifth picture is pieces of a rotisserie chicken, last picture is after. The food is rather dry after chopping so I generally add some barbecue sauce or gravy to lessen the chance of my son choking and to keep the particles together. I have chopped the meat with the gravy or sauce in with it and it turns out well. As can be seen, I don't chop a lot of food at a time usually but it does handle a good bit more with no problem. Cleanup is easy. I've used this chopper an average of 5 or 6 times a week since the first of the year and it is holding up fine. For my needs, I couldn't be more pleased with it.

The only stainless is on the outside at the bottom. The inside where it heats up is aluminum. Which release all the harmful chemicals into popcorn smh.

It does what it says. Cleaning the filter from used grinds is somewhat cumbersome and inefficient. After dumping the filter basket in the Trash, Only way to really clean the filter is under running water in the sink. Update 1 week later, brewed 7 batches. Yes I love my coffee. On the 5th batch I noticed the filter was not draining completely. The coffee was more cloudy and there was a residue noticed after putting through a paper filter. Not sure if it's because this is a new bag of coffee and the grind is finer causing more clogging in filter. I have cleaned the filter both in dish washer and hot soapy water. This did little to improve quantity and quality output. Regular water runs through just fine. Time will tell. Reduced from 5 stars to 4 stars.

Little dissapointed. Brissles not hard enough to really clean. It basically works on a rinsed off plate. To get food off of a plate it most likely won’t work.

This is the second one I’ve had as the first was immediately faulty. Cuisinart honored the replacement policy and this one has been great! I recently moved into a small studio apartment which does not have an oven. I love making my own bread so I had to get creative. This oven perfectly bakes a loaf of bread every time. The temperature gauge is spot on as I frequently check it with an oven thermometer.

I ordered this and the 7QT pot and received this one today... Oh, my gosh! I love it. The color is stunning and it's super heavy duty. I can't wait to cook in it!

We bought this to replace the old Cuisinart Food Pressor that lasted over 10 years. This one didn't even make it a month. The handle on the main work bowl broke off. I called Cuisinart, they are sending out a new bowl but it is gardening and canning season now. It will take 7 to 10 days to replace it. I am also not impressed with the Universal blade for chopping, mixing and dough. There is now only one blade to chop the veggies the other side is the dough blade. The shreddingg discs do not do as nice of job as the old machine either, the stem adapter is not sturdy enough to do a good job shredding cheese.

We have had our knives a week and 2 of them already have rust on them. I hand washed them to reduce the risk of any damage occurring. I contacted Cusinart directly and sent pictures but they told us to contact the seller. If you want knives to last longer than a week than do NOT get these. Absolutely, disgusted with the knives and with customer service.
