Hi. I'm looking at this and the Zojirushi.Has anyone had this or another Cuisinart for yrs? I'm trying to know if one of them lasts much longer.Thanks

I love my zojirushi. Since I bought 4 years we have not purchased bread, rolls or any bread product. The first 2 months I owned we gained approx 20 lbs. each. Have learned to enjoy by making buns we keep in freezer. Just pull out as needed and micro, just like fresh. Love, love, love my zo!

I've had mine since 2009, and we bake a loaf of bread almost daily. The bread pan just started leaking and have been having a hard time finding a replacement pan. It was the BMKR-200 series.

Hi there. We have owned the Cuisinart for about a year. It has proven to be reliable and bakes great tasting bread.

I have had mine (Cuisinart) for about a year and I love it. It makes wonderful bread and dough. I use it a lot, several times a week.

I've had my Cuisinart bread machine for approximately 3 1/2 years. I make bread in it about once a week, sometimes twice. I've had to replace the pan since purchasing it, which cost about $20. I am very happy with the machine.

We have the Cuisinart for more than 6 months and it works fine. We only make dough but it does a much better job than the Breadman or other one we had. We're on our third. This may not be much help but as I look around my kitchen it seems that most of my appliances - the ones we really like - happen to be cuisinart brand. Best of Luck to you.

I have had my Cuisinart for over 2 years now. I use it a couple times a week. Still going strong, love this machine.

Poor quality, I will never buy a Cuisinart product again , the heating element failed in less than one year , bought a Melitta 46894 , great product , great coffee maker. Sorry I can't help you with the Cuisinart, see if you can return it.

Julie, I've owned two of the Cuisinart openers and given away a couple more as gifts. I too have had a problem with one of the opener's plastic gadget breaking and another with the motor failing. This over a three year span. They are attractive, but I doubt I will buy any more.

I've had many mr. coffees...the JWX23 is a pretty decent unit...it's our second one...we get a couple years out of them...maybe a year and a half...we make a couple of pots every day.Every couple months we run vinegar through...keeps the brewing speed good...I tried black and decker...some of them are o.k...I tried the mr. coffee with the insulated decanter...never hot enough...we had one black and decker like that, and another black and decker that was super hot...Before you buy any coffee maker, smell the water chamber...some of the other companies use bad smelling rubber components...I'd recommend the JWX23...it's one of their better ones so far...If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have bought the 2nd one....

I just spoke with Cuisinart, and got some good info. First off, thank you, Swidgen, for noticing that the 10S comes with a flat lid whereas the 2007N doesn't - - Cuisinart confirmed this. (For those who don't know, the flat lid comes in handy when making things like hummus or pesto, that don't need the push-chute). Also, the additional weight of the 10S is due to a 600w motor, compared to a 500w motor in the 2007N. Knowing this, will get the 10S, especially since it will sit next to my white Vitamix, and they will make a perfect-looking pair. :-)

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

I think you'll need to buy a whole new part. I have had my Cuisinart for over 20 years and that is the first and only part I've had to replace. It is definitely worth the investment. Good luck. Lesley

How frequently do these people use their blenders? once a day? once a week? once a month?In my case, my work place(a professional kitchen in a 5-star hotel in Waikiki)has a blender like this one, we use it a lot everyday. That's why I bought one myself for home use.Don't get me wrong, Vitamix are good stuff too, we have them in the kitchens too. It's like comparing Toyota and Honda, you know?! One is NOT necessarily better than the other.

the longest I have used this is 1.5 years. I had one that failed inside of the first 6 months. Cuisinart replaced it, after much haggling, with a new one. That one last 1.5 years then failed with a bang (literally).

I have never used the Cuisinart but according to on-line ratings, Breville is a little better. It is a very good toaster and warmer, baking tends to result in bottom burning a bit.

honestly after many problems with replacement parts that were not Cuisinart products, I would recommend you contact the 800# at Cuisinart and order parts directly from them. The replacement parts are not made as well as original Cuisinart parts. I made this mistake and no longer use my DLC model. Used to be my favorite appliance in the kitchen, but not any more. Sorry, just being honest.

Im on my second new unit which has just failed after about a year. The heater gets plugged and the unit is inoperable. Just contacted Cuisinart and will see what they say, but I won't be buying a new replacement again. It can make wonderful espresso! But I expect a machine to last longer than a year or two. Both units failed in the same way and had been run in two different locations, so it likely wasn't an issue with my filtered water.

Ufortunately the product is really bad. I had other serious problems with mine. I lasted less than 2 months before 1) pause to pour stopped working, then 2) the heating plate just overheated (thermostat issue I presume) and overheated boiling the coffee in the pot. Threw in the trash. The last 4 coffee makers I have purchased, all different brands, have ended very badly and very quickly (1month to 6 months for the longest life). They are all bad and not made to last. Now have a Keurig with issues. Sorry I cannot give more constructive feedback. Good luck!

I'm not aware of any problems with this unit. I got mine in July 2014 and have made tons of salsa, slaw, veggies, soup, etc. with no problems. Although I don't run the thing very long (mostly multiple pulses or quick/short runs), ours has been a champ. Maybe it is just an issue with the most-recent production run?

I never used Zojirushi rice cooker. Before I bought, I read someome's comment that she cooked the same good rice with Rosewill rice cooker. She had used Zojirushi rice cooker before. I have another rice cooker - Panasonic. I feel the rice tasted the same no matter which one I use. Both work great!
