The brew pause feature isn't working on my brand new coffee maker. My old one developed that problem after a few years of use, but this one seems to be of a lesser quality. I have to use a saucer to catch the drips.Otherwise, it's working fine.

The pause feature doesn't work correctly on mine and it is a replacement from Cuisinart, so both of them had a bad pause feature that still dripped while removing the carafe and pouring. Cuisinart will not acknowledge the problem, easier to send replacement. More China garbage and company is also owned by Conair - cheap company.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

Water seeps from the pipe union and is directed, through a channel, into the coffee basket. But it must pass over a step-down created by the retainer basket. This is not nor will it ever be water tight. To the dope engineers, why did you not direct the overflow channel into the primary reservoir? That approach was taken by Mr. Coffee. Consequently, clear water will eventually flow onto the hot plate.

Hi Susan. After reading the other responses, I have to say that I do NOT agree with them. I have had this machine since May 2013. I have NEVER had any issues with it. I do 5 to 8 loads of laundry every weekend. Never had a breakdown, never had clothes 'get holes in them', never had clothes 'disappear'. I use the Regular Light, Casual Light, and Delicate cycles mostly. Handles a large loads like towels (8 large) just fine on the 'super' water setting on the Normal Light cycle. Same goes for large loads of jeans (8 pairs) Takes just under an hour for the light cycles to finish, and less with the Delicate. The loads get cleaned well. The lid does lock, but only after the washer has finished filling and the cycle begins. Lid locks are now standard on ALL new washing machines per Federal safety law. I follow the manufacturers instructions and use the washer as it was intended using common sense that dictates to NEVER overload a clothes washer as to not cause undo stress on the machine or your laundry. Another thing to know is that this washer has a standard agitator in the middle of the basket. There is a similar model to this one that is a High Efficiency machine that does not have an agitator and that machine gets a lot of bad reviews as well. I have found that some comments for this machine are really pertaining to that other machine. To be fair, I have owned the washer for under a year, and there have been some comments that this machine starts having problems after a year's time. So I'll just have to see about that and cross that bridge IF I get to it. On a side note, I have the matching 7.0 Gas Dryer and it is a VERY GOOD dryer. Simple to use and dries our laundry effectively. I hope this answer helps you. Thank you

I actually have been selling this product in my store and through Amazon, I have not had any problems with it. I am wondering if the toaster that you received it defective. Did it ever work in the beginning?

I haven't had mine long enough to tell. So far it is the best toaster we have ever owned. consistently perfect toast and bagels. Easy to use. Cuisinart is a known brand so I am not worried about the failure of the motor.

I'd avoid this product -- it was not reliable and Saeco stopped production. I replaced it with a Breville YouBrew and have been very pleased with quality and workmanship.

sorry, I can't help you. I returned the dessert maker a couple of years ago. I did not like it, it never worked properly.I don't like products made by cuisinart.

Same here. Purchased (for $180) in 2009. It's been in storage for 2 years. Used it to make soup today. It worked fine at first. Then we heard a loud clicking noise coming from the kitchen. The display was flashing and it wouldn't respond to any buttons. Unplugged/replugged with same result. It's not been used more than 10 times at most. Someone posted a video on YouTube of this device with this problem. Lots of commenters with same issue.

Ours did not last longer, talk to Amazon and get a one time exception onto the Return policy, this product is really poorly manufactured. I then bought a Breville, much more expensive, but worth every penny - delighted with it !!!

Hello AS. I have not had a problem with my same coffee maker. It has worked at our expectations, and we are heavy coffee drinkers. Two pots brewed per day and weekends at least four. This includes brewing teas & hot water for soups and such. Hope this helps. I did buy a similar product years ago from the Navy Exchange. Called customer service to have repaired/replaced under warranty. No problem gave me address to mail to four days later my replacement arrived and I had just send the broke one back. I can't complain about that. Good product and my experience, "THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT".

I purchased the same crockpot from Amazon 6 months ago and the non stick coating is flaking off as well as other problems...such as not turning on when you flip the switch. I am afraid to use it now because of possible electrical problems with the control switch and the flaking of the non stick coating. My question is ....Does anyone know of a recall on this model?

Just "chatted" with Longevity and they don't know if the units on Amazon are the updated models or not. Also, they don't sell the wire feed carriers to update it yourself! So to me that says they don't have parts available to service the machine if it breaks and are not too concerned about you getting their best product!! They may be a decent company, but their products are still made in China from Chinese manufactured parts, so warrenty issues will be a problem. Probably best to stick to American made units even if some of the innards are out sourced IMHO!

Not sure, maybe it is discontinued? It is a Cuisinart for sure. If you can get one I would recommend it highly. Ours works extremely well for all its intended uses!

I ordered mine a couple months ago. I have had no problems and love it. It makes wonderful coffee. The porcelain is fine on both pieces. The lid is perfectly fine and the safety nubs hold it nicely when tipped...if you turn them so they aren't aligned with the spots used to insert the lid into the pot. I am just waiting for amazon to carry it again so I can order s backup. Don't want to pay the shipping from the other supplier. Hope you enjoy as much as I do if you order!

I have two of their pans and they work well (I use low to medium heat, let the pan air cool, rinse & wipe, no soap.) If you read the reviews, Cuisinart's "lifetime" warranty seems to expire between taking it out of the box and putting it on the burner. Frankly, it's a crapshoot. For $19 it's not worth the hassle dealing with a company with low ethical standards. Write a 1 star review AND complain to Amazon Customer Service. I'd also comment on YELP. Irresponsible companies need to be held to account!

Iv'e been asked similar questions Karen and being familiar only with my model my best reply is for you to contact Cuisinart Customer Service. Others did.

My experience with this unit is that regardless of doing all the suggested methods to get the continuous drain to work and continue to work is eventually useless. There is probably an inherent defect with this device with the continuous drain feature. How many times it can be returned for the same defect is probably a better question? Will we be reimbursed for having to deal with this problem is the next question?
