Cuisinart quality. The blades are razor sharp. I use the Cuisinart shears to cut my wholeleaf tobacco. I am very satisfied with the performance of the shears. Well made. Blades can be dismantled and cleaned, by loosening the allen-keys

I received this as a gift for my birthday from my family, and I really love all the settings, and it is not as quiet as I thought it would be, but it’s not super loud and it does boil the water so quickly that the loudness is over really fast anyway. The only thing is, it is a little awkward to fill, and you have to fill it to the max line, if you go over the max line, it won’t even start the process of boiling, it will just blink at you. As long as you don’t go above, the max fill line, it will work perfectly. Also, when you click the warm button, it will keep it warm for about an hour, and then it will shut itself off. I’m not thrilled about that, I’d rather it keep it warm until I turn it off manually. It was a little bit of a learning curve to figure out how to get it to work, because it is quiet when it first starts out boiling, and then gets loud. So, at first, I was pushing buttons all over the place trying to get it to work, and then realize that it was working. It was just too quiet for me to hear it. And then gets really loud, and then shut off quickly. it’s also difficult to fill, and it’s very heavy. So it gets even heavier when you fill it with water. If anybody were to get this, who has arthritis, or joint problems with the wrists, or weak arms, I would not recommend this one. Are used to be able to fill up my electric kettle with just one hand, I have to use both hands, and I’m not a weakling, but I do have wrists that sometimes ache. So, I have to use two hands to fill up this kettle. Overall though, it works very very well, I’m excited to have something new and I am hoping with the price, my family paid for this, and the brand, that it will last a very long time. My old kettle was around for many years before I finally broke down, and it was very simple, only had one setting, which was to boil, but it works just fine for me, and it was very light weight. However, they don’t make it anymore. But I’m happy with this one overall. Update: I was reaching past the kettle the day before last and my arm barely touched it and got a third degree burn. The app won’t let me share the fresh pics but I took a pic of the scar now. I’ve touched hot kettles before by accident but none ever burned me like this. There should be a caution sticker or imprint or really a temp regulator for the outside. I am shocked, honestly.

The ten cup Cuisinart coffee maker purchased in 2008 finally gave up the ghost so we upgraded to a 12 cup this time. As usual, it makes a great cup of coffee and keeps it hot without scorching it. We would have given it 5 stars if the molding quality was better. The first time she lifted the carafe by the handle, it gave her a small laceration on her hand. On closer inspection we found a very sharp flash line next to the metal insert. This is caused from wear between cavity and core seal-off. The plastic 'leaks' between causing this flash. A small riffler file took care of the problem, but be careful when you unpack yours.

The very first time I used it was to boil eggs. I only boiled them 7 min like I always do. But, the pot had little black spots all over the bottom when it was done. Kinda looks like little burn marks, only, the eggs were not burnt at all. I tried scrubbing them with a normal scrubby and all it did was leave little scratch Mark's and not take off the black Mark's.

I bought this because the design was cute, but wanted to return it because it’s not practical. I dont like that there isnt a cord wrap or a retractable cord. The design made it not compatible to be stored with my fold up board (pictured in the background). My husband opened and used it so I had no choice but to keep it, and he threw away all the packaging. Overall it’s easy to use and work pretty well. The water reservoir is small and if youre using the steam mode it take 2-3 refill to iron a fairly wrinkle medium size shirt. So make sure you have a lot of water by your side.

Photo is after 1 year of very regular use. Excellent pan, especially for the price. Thick enough to control temperature which thinner, cheap pans don't do well. I got the 8", which is small enough to not take up too much room in my cabinets but large enough to still be versatile. I would ignore any review claiming this isn't non-stick. My understanding of "non-stick" is that it's related to cleaning, not cooking. Scrambled eggs, cheese from grilled cheese, etc. might stick when cooking, but always comes off immediately with a sponge. That's been my experience anyway. I never use metal spatulas or scouring pads, so taking care of it has helped keep it in excellent condition. Definitely glad I got it.

I wish this color and style came in a pot half that size. Still kept it, *LOL* Update, purch in jan 2024 haven't used it much, ( a couple times)) because of it's huge size. however, with no use, the enamel is cracking and peeling off of the top of the INSIDE of the lid. Would not recommend at this point. and way past it's return date. Evidently if I'd have been using it more, it would be in a far worse condition. I store the lid on top of the pot as if you were using it, NOTHING has been set on top in the bottom of the lid, the black specks were found when I took the lid off, and it's the enamel from the lid. SAD.

I love this pot! I had the smaller round version of this and really needed a new roaster that had a lid. I went searching for this exact one. Looked lots of places and this was the best price, no shipping and quick shipping. It arrived on the 2 day prime. This pot is large enough for a turkey breast, not a huge one but a good size one. I have cooked roast and a full chicken in it so far. Both were so moist and cooked evenly. After it cooled I rinsed the pot out and put it right into the dishwasher. It does not stick inside this pot and washed up perfect. Handles on both sides are large enough to actually use but not too large to make it awkward. I love the bright red color also. Lid rests upside down right on top to make it flat to store.

DO NOT BUY THIS SAUCEPAN! I have an old version of this saucepan and really like it. but although this new one has the same great handle that keeps cool, and glass lid that drains, and the great pouring spout, IT IS MADE FROM AN INFERIOR GRADE OF STAINLESS STEEL after just one use on the day i received it (to cook potatoes) the inside bottom of the pan had had black marks that would not clean off with regular washing (picture attached) i also ran it through the dishwasher, and even tried ajax, but nothing would remove the spots i had seen earlier reports of the same problem, but as there were no recent reports i assumed that cuisinart had fixed the problem, but evidently they have not. so i returned it for a refund and will not be ordering it again

Love this popover rack. It makes it more easy to bake this tasty sourdough bread and is really non sticky. I made this popovers about 6 times with out any oil or butter on it and popovers literally slip out.

I was trying to replace my blade that has cracked plastic on the bottom and the new one arrived cracked in the same area. Returning.

These are great quality kitchen utensils. Made great, heavy feel and not cheap looking or made at all. I am very happy with this purchase.

I know this is mid-range in cost, but I expect more. Starting with what I see as design flaws. It is very hard tell if there is coffee already made in the carafe. (see photos). The water reservoir is in the rear of the coffeemaker which makes it difficult to be able to empty a full carafe of water into the reservoir for drip coffee. To add water for espresso or k-cup serving the water reservoir is in the back of the machine so you must pull it out from the wall to access the reservoir. There is no way to turn the machine off once coffee is made and the carafe is emptied. Not until it reaches its full warming cycle and then it automatically shuts off. This seems like it could cause carafes to burn or scorch as they are left on warming plate empty. The temperature of the coffee is not very hot, and cools down far too fast (cools down to barely lukewarm after a few sips) which says it wasnt very hot to start. Finally the motor on the espresso part of coffeemaker is unbelievably loud when making espresso. (listen to video) I kept it for a week and tried to like it or get used to it, but it only frustrates me. So I am now back to the drawing board to find a decent coffee/k-cup/espresso maker :-( Right now to have a coffeemaker that combines drip coffee, espresso and k-cups it appears that there are only two choices on the market at this time, this one and the Ninja.

The ONLY issue is the, it's not great at food processing things like chicken or nuts. I used this to make Avocado pesto, PERFECT. Spinach/Basil pesto NOT SO MUCH. The leaves didn't chop up well and the pine nuts were a not chopped well either. The stick part, SHEER PERFECTION for homemade mayo or whip cream or whatever you need to whip or blend using the stick. Have to update from 3 Start to 4 Star. PERFECTION at making mayo and Yum Yum sauce. 9-4-16 This is how I now use it now, for small things I need chopped aka processed like nuts, I put maybe 1/4 a cup and it works fine. Still not great with leaves or meats but I did purchase a bigger food processor. I make a lot of Pesto and do the nuts first in the with the Smart Stick. They come out finer than using the bigger one. Also any small item I need chopped fine I use it. I make White (Yum Yum) Sauce sometimes and and the whisk attachment is perfect. These are some of the items I make regularly and the Smart Stick is very useful just have to know what it's best for and how to work with it.

This is my fourth small chopper— this is by far the best. Can’t go wrong with Cuisinart.
