We've had the machine for a couple of months. It performs as advertised. We like the "turn off the end of cycle tone." We'll purchase another when it's time. There is only one minor issue--the BOLD command is not saved in system memory. Our last coffee maker saved that command, and we didn't have to remember to push it each time.
After reviewing coffeemaker ratings; going in store to see and feel the different brands and styles I ended up choosing the Cuisinart 14 cup coffeemaker. I'm really happy with this product. Functionality is easy and makes great coffee. It is a little tricky pouring water into the reservoir due to angle of pour area and size of coffee pot.
I bought this a few months ago and I have used it almost every day since then. I was replacing a 10 year old coffee maker that was wonderful, so it had a lot to live up to...and it did. If I HAD to find something negative, I would say just the fitment when taking out or putting back the carafe. It is a tight fit height-wise and would prefer a smoother fit. Other than that, it is awesome!
