We bought this to replace a one and a half year old Cuisinart coffee maker that developed a nasty drip in the carafe when trying to refill the reservoir. This one developed that same drip all over the counter after two days. The auto shutoff feature that is supposed to allow you to remove the carafe during brewing doesn’t work well and allows the coffee to keep dripping. The plastic filter holder doesn’t fit snuggly and tries to float to the top when water is added to the reservoir. I also had to put several layers of scotch tape over the blue display because it is blinding. This really isn’t a very good coffee maker.
This is the fifth Cuisinart coffee pot that we’ve purchased. The first four were Stainless and more expensive, so I thought I’d try this less expensive model. Unfortunately the right latch on the lid (plastic) broke off and now I must place something heavy on the lid or the coffee grounds overflow. I tried to purchase a replacement top, but there is not one available for purchase. Disappointed in the quality of this maker.
A toaster oven that fulfill all my household needs

We had a toaster oven from Cuisinart for over 10 years, it started to look dingy, so we purchased a new one. After looking through Amazon's various brands and review, we settle on this one b/c of previous experience. The heating element is metal, so it does take some time to heat up. The convection fan is much quieter than the previous model. After turning the fan on, sometime I didn't even realize it was on. This one capacity is a bit larger due the the back side having a bulge that allow it to accommodate a 12" frozen pizza. Our previous model, we had to cut of a portion of the pizza for it to fit. The toasting function take about 2+ mins for a "2" lightly toasted. There are a couple of times where a #2 toasting caused the toast to be burnt. But then the next toasting it went back to being normal. Not sure what happened there. Cleaning was easy, the crumb trey pulls out from the front instead of back. The reviews did say the buttons' lettering fades easily, so the first thing I do is put clear nail polish over all the button letterings. So far, we are quiet satisfied with it. Hopping for another 10 years of usages.
The interior space was far smaller than I expected. Also, I found that the toasting was not consistent. I ultimately returned this after a few days’ trial and bought a GE toaster oven that I much prefer.
I just received a new dcc-1120 coffeemaker as a replacement for a similar unit that malfunctioned 22 months into the 36 month warranty. After contacting Cuisinart about the problem (heating element failure), the service rep lead me through a few tests before agreeing to ship me the new unit. Every once in a while, a defect occurs. That's life. How a company responds when that happens is what makes or breaks a company in my mind. Kudos to Cuisinart for backing its products. I love my new coffeemaker, by the way.
