No one answered,....but I was going to ask the same question... Did you decide on any of them? How is ti going? I'm still undecided among these two and the KA 600 pro, but it sounds like you didn't like the KA. It'll be great to hear your opinion. Thanks!

The motor burned out shortly after a year. They won't fix it OR replace it. I had a Kitchen Aid for 12 years, still running good. The reason I bought the 7Qt is because I need something with a bigger capacity. I'm glad I didn't get rid of my KA. No more Cuisinart for me!

The Cuisinart replaced my 20 year old Viking. I have had it about 4 years and I love it. I can only make 4 loaves of bread at a time (I could do with my Viking) but I am totally satisfied with it. I love the time so I can set it to mix and leave the room and wait for it to turn off. I bought it because the bowl shape was so close to the Viking. I recommend this machine.

I have purchased two. I loved the one I had at home so much, I bought one for work. That's been almost a year. I haven't have any problems whatsoever. Maybe you just got a malfunctioning one. You should contact Kitchen Aid about it. For other KA products I've had for under a year, they have been great about replacing parts.

I have been trying to figure this out as cuisinart doesn't even have a 780 listed on their website and I was confused. If the only difference is the kcups and filters, then the 700 would be a better deal for us as we don't generally like most of the sampler kcups and amazon's price on it is currently $175

Basicly all the ice makers that go in freezer compartments of refrigerators are the same. The differences are the way they connect (plug) and that the 4 wire colors match up with the one you are removing. Unless you are sure that your Viking is compatible with, for example, a Whirlpool, you are better of calling an appliance parts dealer and insuring you are getting the right one. I bought one via Amazon and it turned out some of the wire colors were reversed. I needed an appliance repair guy to resolve the issue and it ended up costing me more than just calling him in the beginning.

I am also looking for a decent replacement for my breadmaker. I thought that after 15 years, breadmakers would be better than the one I have; but after buying the "Breadman TR875", I have found that not to be true(more cheaply made & less options). My old breadmaker is a REGAL... I don't even know if they make them anymore. I am hoping I can get a little bit more mileage out of it as I look for a replacement. I was looking at the Zojirushi, but I opted to note the issues there as well. I think I am going to try to buy one in person, so that I am able to return it to the store. Any suggestions would be great! I am also looking for a decent replacement for my breadmaker.

Don't have mine anymore. The plastic handle broke on mine (broke several times & I was able to glue/tape to keep using it but not the last time) & I replaced with Cuisinart Classic Pro (made in China) which I like better than the KitchenAid. The Cuisinart was only $20 more than replacing the KitchenAid plastic bowl with handle.

I just bought a Cuisinart Elite 14 FP yesterday. I will post my feedback once I put it to the test. I also subscribe to Consumer Reports and Cuisinart rated #1 on food processors.

Hi Lory, There is a new model of this same pot that is $18 less and free shipping and it has the measurements listed.

I do, however, find that my old Magnalite Professional stainless steel cookware from twenty years ago is easier to clean. But I consider both brands equally good at cooking our food.

I was in your exact quandry. I went for the Cuisinart because they WERE better known for their quality in food processors. I loved it until the motor burned in less than 3 months and only with 3 1/2 cups flour. Their customer service is BEYOND horrible. They are rude, unhelpful, and LIE. Even though it's still under warranty, I still have to pay to ship it to them and wait for MONTHS even to have it shipped back. I went ahead and purchased it even after reading all the neg reviews because I thought I never would have to deal with CS people since their products are good and last anyway, but that is no longer the case. They are under new ownership and things aren't the way they used to be. Don't give them a cent of your money.

So sorry. Mine is about the same as the one I replaced. I'd suggest that you contact Cuisinart's customer service, but they are a pretty pathetic bunch.

Both are very good mixers. The Cuisinart has a more powerful motor, but that is hardly an issue since the Kitchen Aid's motor is more than powerful enough. We returned our Cuisinart for the Kitchen Aid due to poor customer service. See my review here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R250HLS1S4GLDK/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B000ON4B3U

I love my Cuisinart with the choice of different blades. I do find that I only use a few of them the most however. But, maybe you cook more than I do.

I am reading the reviews from all over trying to decide between the Waring Pro 300A and the Villaware 2010 waffle makers. Professional/consumer groups/cooking associates all seem to rate the Villaware better but home cooks seem to prefer the Waring. Comments? Has anyone tried them both? Price is not the deciding factor as they are priced within about $10 of each other. I just want a gooooood waffle that does not come out like a hockey puck or gooey in the middle.

Most attachments of this type are brand specific, which means that they pretty much fit that brand only. As far as I know, Viking and Cuisinart are not compatible

Yes I have the Cuisinart DLC-2007N 7C and it works great. You also have room for extra blades if you have them.

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.

It's very odd how many people take the time to respond to questions simply to say that they don't know the answer, isn't it? Having just returned a Cuisinart TOB-40 due to an electrical circuit failure after just one year of light use and replacing it with the Breville, there's notable difference in the Breville's cooking efficiency and uniformity of heat radiation. The quartz heating elements are far superior and the 'smart' heat distribution function seems to perform as advertised. I'm hoping to get similar improvement in durability over the disappointing Cuisinart TOB-40. The Breville is actually a bit smaller than the TOB-40 externally but doesn't sacrifice functional interior room and outperforms by a quite higher margin.
