I'm reviewing the Cuisinart FP-14DC Elie vs. Kitchen aid 13 cup KFP1333CU. Thoughts on which is better?

I returned my cuisanart FP-14DC and purchased the Breville sioux chef 16 cup. My cuisanart would shut down many times while pulsing and the Breville is a beast of a machine and i would recommend the Breville. It's a few more bucks but the customer service is top notch.

We enjoy the larger 14 cup model with more options and it is NOT hard to clean as some say it is!!

I had a Black & Decker 7-cup food processor before, so I really can't comment on the 13 cup Kitchen Aid one. I really like the Cuisinart 14-cup. I haven't tried dough yet, but I've made chicken salad, sorbet, and hamburger (from very lean tenderloin beef), and it was very good for that. Unfortunately, for slicing vegetables, it's no better than my old Black and Decker: stuff tends to slide sideways and get caught between the metal plate and the lid. You really have to have the feeder tube stuffed tightly, and large, harder things like potatoes and big carrots work better than cucumbers or softer things.

Sorry-can't help. It was a gift for my Mother. Perhaps on Cuisinart's own website. Good luck.

Probably best to check with Cuisinart directly. Either call or on their website.

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.

2600 definitely has a 14 cups vs 12 for the 260 and has the Extreme brew which does brew the coffee faster than my old Mr. Coffee did. Would have bought the 2600 myself but it was not stocked where i bought it (plus i had a $50 gift card to boot so i put it to good use). Don't think you can go wrong with either one.

I needed the set I purchased from Cuisinart and went with them. I feel both Tramontina and Cuisinart are good but after using the Cuisinart I have given away my Tramontina and other makers pots and pans and use the Cuisinart. Your milage may vary.

I bought a remanufactured unit, which was less then the new unit. 349.00 new and 279.00 remfg. I don't know where you found the new unit for 249.00? I have to tell you that I am very pleased with the one I bought. Have not used my regular stove oven since. The convection feature is great. Pizza is the best. Pies are wonderful Cookies are even better. VERY PLEASED.

I am sorry I do not know. The Cuisinart accessories fit it perfectly and may not be the same as Kitchen Aid. Why don't you contact the service rep and ask directly?

I asked Cuisinart about this, they said, none. The EPC-1200 is the model they sell through Costco, apparently. Its indistinguishable.

Sorry, I don't work for Cuisinart; I just bought the blender because it was on sale. Having said that, I liked it so much that I bought a second one for my mom.

I notice that Cuisinart CTO-390PC is selling at Costco for $99, and Cuisinart TOB-195 looks almost exactly the same but is a different model number is $179.99 at Bed, Bath

I started with the K-cup model and bought the Vue. There are pluses and minuses to both: Vue - The Vue allows you more control over your coffee than the older Keurig version. You can customize your water temperature. Also, while models of the older Keurig allow you to make different cup sizes like the Vue, the Vue allows you to slow the percolation process so you can make stronger coffee. Larger cup sizes on the old Keurig just allow you to make weaker coffee because you use more water. Also, some coffees are available in larger 'Mug' versions that allow you to make even larger, stronger coffees. The Vue also has a better design in the coffee basket area. The Keurig has a small plastic cup that the K-cup sits in. The water comes through a needle into the cup and out a hole in the bottom of the K-cup, into the plastic coffee basket and out the bottom of the basket into your coffee cup. The K-cup is thrown away, but the plastic basket stays. In the Vue, the water goes into the Vue pod, percolates and goes out of a spout in the pod directly to your coffee cup. There is no basket that needs to be cleaned and no chance you are tasting some of last week's coffee stained into the basket. The plastic part of the Vue pod is also recyclable if you remove the coffee insite (it can be messy if you aren't careful). The older Keurig is cheaper - both initially for the machine and in terms of the K-cups. It also has MUCH more variety in coffee you can get -- you don't need to make trips to special stores or purchase through the internet. You CAN use K-cups in the Vue with a little McGyvering (Google it to see how) but it can be messy and jam the machine if you are not careful. How do they taste? Well, in my unscientific opinion, the Vue has the edge in coffees I've had in both machines. That's why I use it, but I cry a little when I go into the grocery stores and see the K-cup options :). You can't really go wrong with either machine, they are both very good. It's just a matter of preference.

The ekobrew works way better than the my k cup. I've used both and gave the my k cup away as I couldn't get a nice strong cup of coffee out of it.

This one is bad, too. So is the Cuisinart HM-50. I'm not sure why we have to choose between powerful and slow! :)

The difference is that MaxiMatic is made in the U.S.A., while Cuisinart is not! We love our percolator! If and when we need a new one, we'll buy another MaxiMatic. I would also think that Cuisinart is a bit more expensive only because of the name. As for the previous comment: If Jerry had read the instructions and manual, he would have known to pull the plug before it burned the coffee or his kitchen. Leaving any electrical appliance unattended for hours is just plain stupid! The only exception I can think of is a Slow Cooker. Besides, unless the pot was already nearly empty, it would take several hours for the coffee to evaporate and subsequently burn the pot and/or the kitchen!
