Better that the more expensive Cuisinart!

Bought this locally after I got rid of a total piece of junk Cuisinart that I bought previously on Amazon:

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cuisinart-CPT-420-Touch-to-Toast-Leverless-2-Slice-Toaster/dp/B006OQSO8E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cuisinart CPT-420 Touch to Toast Leverless 2-Slice Toaster</a>

The Cuisinart was expensive and failed constantly.

The HB 24810 is much better and due to it's shape, fits in our counter-top "appliance garage" when most four slicers do not. It is nothing
fancy but, as I learned with the crappy Cuisinart, fancy is sometimes worse, especially for simple task devices like toasters.

My only complaint is that if you are doing just one slice, one edge of the toast can get overdone since it is exposed to the heat more on that edge
(where the second slice would otherwise be). I would suggest using one slot if you are doing two slices.

I've had this for 5 months and very pleased.  Makes a bold pot every time - cleaning easy. Amazing for price - I replace a Krups costing 5 times this unit - I wouldn't trade the Cuisinart for the Krups.

I had a Keurig but I feel the Cusisnart is superior mainly because it is quieter, and has more cup sizes for the same money.

I found this gem at Sears for 49.99 on sale. Worth every penny in my opinion. Seems to be good quality and comes with a 3 year warranty! I love the adjustable shut off time feature, and that it beeps to alert you when brewing is done, and then alerts you when the auto shut off has been activated.

This is my second cuisinart coffee maker purchase, and would recommend Cuisinart to anyone wanting a higher end brand appliance.

After 33 years of using my old Cuisinart which had some issues that required me to buy a new one, I am absolutely delighted with this new Cuisinart! I love the larger capacity for more ingredients and the wider mouth to push larger ingredients through the shoot. Will I get another 33 years on this one?  I hope so!

It is clear that Cuisinart wanted to improve an already good coffee maker in the 1200 model, and with the 2650 they did just that.  The coffee tastes better and the reliability of the controls will prove better I would guess.  I like my coffee strong so I was pushing the amount of coffee to the limit of the No 4 filter size.  With the 2650 broader dispense of water and the fact that the filter (I use the gold metal one) does not sit right against the filter holder makes the flow of water through the grounds more predictable with less delay.  It makes for a better taste and more consistent results.

This little coffeemaker outperforms the larger and fancier coffee makes I have had over the past ten years. I purchased the Cuisinart 4-cup maker at one of the warehouse stores probably tens years ago. It is a decent no-frills maker for those who want just a couple of cups of coffee. I thought I wanted something fancier, and had purchased other name brands since then that had all the bells and whistles
Plus bigger capacity. Got tired of having grounds in my coffee or when I went to empty the grounds noticing not all the coffee in the basket was used (still dry!). I keep running back to this little Cuisinart coffeemaker. The only problem is that over the years the finish on the hot plate has worn off some. I guess that is to be expected. Plus this coffeemaker uses #2 cone filters, which has less chance of getting grounds in you coffee. Highly recommend this coffeemaker!

I was in the market for a contact grill since my family loves panini. When in a local department store I had the opportunity to compare this Cuisinart grill to the Villaware and several other brands. I chose the Cuisinart... even though it was the most expensive model! I love the retro design, the removable cooking grids, and the front-mounted controls. It is heavy and well-constructed. The ultimate test came when actually using the grill, and it delivered! Heated up quickly, cooked perfect panini, and cleaned up like a dream...even the puddles of melted cheese wiped off with no effort. I highly recommend this item.

I've been reading some of the reviews for this product&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cuisinart-CHW-12-Coffee-Plus-12-Cup-Programmable-Coffeemaker-with-Hot-Water-System-Black-Stainless/dp/B003KYSLMC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cuisinart CHW-12 Coffee Plus 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Hot Water System, Black/Stainless</a>.  Either Cuisinart has a quality control [QC] problem or someone is pulling refurbs to fill orders in error.  I bought my unit during the 2011  Black Friday sale for $69.  So far, its proven to be a good deal.  I'd plan to give it 4 Stars because of the difficulty in pouring water in the coffee side as another reviewer noted.  Then, the thought crossed my mind that it was difficult because I am right-handed.  I tried pouring with the left hand and it was easier to control but a little tiring because of my use of my non-dominant limb.  I also understand the need to place the pouring as far away from the digital controls as necessary.  I tried to envision some other design that would permit the construction of the segmented unit, but could not come up with an image.  As fas as the location, I have owned other makers designed with that rear pouring requirement but usually the coffee grounds container is able to be moved out of the way either via a slide or a hinge.  So, I backed away and gave the full 5 Stars.

I don't know why others are having trouble with the hot water side of the unit.  Mine works perfectly!  It heats water to desired temperature in less than 3 minutes.  It has never heated it too hot even when I forget to turn it off.  It has never leaked.  It is easy to fill the reservoir.  It holds an adequate amount before needing refill.  Maybe, the problem is poor quality control [QC] by the mfg who has the Cuisinart contract.  A while ago, I bought a Cuisinart Toaster that overheated to smoking, no matter what setting was selected.  I had to return it. Other reviewer noted a similar problem. It LOOKED cheaply made.  Later, I bought a Cuisinart Mini Processor that was well constructed, performed as effectively as our full-sized unit and was sized just right for certain preps.  Usually, that kind of across-theboard inconsistency is associated with poor QC.  Look at the reviews.  There are too many flawed units being reported along with great units being reported.

However, if you get a good unit version of this product, you will like the convenience of the segmented design.  The effectiveness of the coffee side is better than other coffeemakers I've owned.  It makes 6 cups of consistent quality as 12 cups.  The advent of the charcoal water filter seems like a good feature.  We don't use it because we use charcoal filtered distilled water for drinking/cooking water.  Regardless of brand all coffee tastes clean and fresh and never bitter or oily.

Based on my early experience after almost 3 months of use, I would recommend this product.

I use the Cuisinart coffee maker for years.  I purchased the filter from sears and paid much more for the product.  Finding it on amazon was great, it was much cheaper and shipped to my home.  Easy, cheaper price, and awesome deal...

After my latest cheap coffee maker died less than two months after purchase, I decided to invest in a more expensive and hopefully better one.  I bought the Cuisinart model #DCC-1200 from a local store, who highly recommended this model as reliable and hard-working.  "Almost everybody who works here, owns this model!" the salesperson told me.

We've owned it about a year now, and we've been very happy with it.  It makes one cup as easily as twelve.  I like having an option between using the gold filter or paper filters.  (I eventually realized we were using so much water to clean the gold filter after each use, we switched back to paper ones.)  It has a gentle "beep beep beep" alert when your coffee is done brewing, which is handy.  It has a separate option for turning on the burner heat on early, so even a one- or two-cup brew session stays hot.  It doesn't look too dirty if you forget to clean it every few days.

There are, however, a few design problems with it that seem so easy to fix, it's frustrating that Cuisinart hasn't addressed them.  And they all deal with water.

Pouring water into the reservoir is hard because the water only goes in on one "side", and the opening is narrow.  Lots of spills.

The carafe (a replacement carafe, by the way, costs almost half as much as the entire machine, with shipping--what's up with THAT??) drips when it pours.  We previously had a Black and Decker model (an earlier model lasted five years, the replacement model is the one that lasted two months) had a no-drip carafe--which never dripped!  How hard would it be for Cuisinart to do that??

The worst water issue, though, is that condensation from the brewing process collects on the lid of the machine.  And when you raise the lid to replace the filter/add water, it all drips off OUTSIDE the carafe and onto your counter surface.  If you don't stay on top of this (and with three young adults in our household, there are many things they don't stay on top of), you will end up with a sizeable puddle over time.  Yuk.  Why couldn't the lid hinge set INSIDE the reservoir, so the water just dripped back into it??

If these are the sort of things that would drive you mad, this is not the coffee maker for you.  Otherwise, as I said, it's been a good, reliable product.

Great coffee maker, I like it better than my cuisinart and the price was right. I would recommend this product.

This product replaced a 15+ year-old 5 cup Cuisinart food processor that we really liked. This one has had no problem taking it's place. It works very well and the increased size isn't enough to make it a problem. It was a great purchase!

After going through two of these Cuisinart grinders in six or so years, I decided to spend another $24 and get a Capresso 560. The Cuisinart works fine but is very loud. I'd usually start it and leave the room to avoid the din. Conversation is impossible when it is grinding.

And both broke after a couple years.

I took my broken Cuisinart apart this morning: the grinding burrs (where the work gets done) consist of two opposing plates about 3/8" thick. The conical burrs on the Capresso look to be about an inch -- and are easy to clean.

The Capresso grinds more slowly, generates less heat and static -- all good.

So for me the extra $24, was worth it.

We purchased the Cuisinart SS-700 in Feb of this year. I did a lot of research before the purchase, so I was a little skeptical about the Cuisinart, due to the reviews on break downs. I decided I would not do a review until I had used the machine for 6 months. I am proud to report we have had the machine for 6 months and we have had absolutely zero problems. I clean it once a every two weeks with the brush included and I run a clear cup of water once a month. We have tried teas, hot chocolate, flavored coffees and even cider. Our favorite is still Starbucks Sumatra, but that is because we love strong coffee. I am ordering more charcoal filters for mine and purchasing another one for my Godfather this week.

My advice with the machine, is an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care. Clean it on a schedule and it will last. Don't know how we ever lived without it. Get yours now! Both my husband and I LOVE IT!<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Cuisinart-SS-700-Single-Serve-Brewing-System-Silver-Powered-by-Keurig/dp/B0034J6QIY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Cuisinart SS-700 Single Serve Brewing System, Silver - Powered by Keurig</a>

First I want to start by saying that I am traditionally a fan of paying a little more for better quality.  To that end, I had a Kitchenaid Food Processor that I paid over $100 for that ended up going out on me last month after less than 2 years of use.

Frustrated by having the "name brand" let me down, I was completely open to the idea of trying out the Hamilton Beach processor (~$44 at Amazon).  I don't consider myself a gourmet chef and don't use the food processor for much more than chopping vegetables to make stews and purees for the baby's food so my requirements in a food processor solely focus on the ability to accept vegetables while running (via the shoot at the top) and produce a chopped product.

While Hamilton Beach certainly doesn't have the premium name recognition of Kitchenaid, for a third of the price I am very pleased with the results.  It only has to make it 17 more months to outlive the Kitchenaid model I had!

Nicely designed and works well. Quite pleased with this purchase. Grew tired of buying the more expensive Cuisinart Coffee makers that lasted only a few years and did not even make hot coffee.
