I purchased this coffeemaker to replace a 12 year old Cuisinart 12 cup programmable coffee maker. 3 months later, the product was turning itself on, meaning it was a fire hazard! Luckily I did not have an empty pot sitting on the heating pad otherwise it would have shattered glass all over my countertop. I would not buy Cuisinart again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works fine, but has a ridiculously bright LED

We had the predecessor to this Cusinart coffee maker and it worked fine. We wanted a new one in white, so we bought the 12 Cup Classic Programmable Coffeemaker. It makes great coffee, but it has a ridiculously bright LED backlight for the clock. We have to unplug the coffee maker at night because it shines on our bedroom wall which is about 30 feet away. There is no reason for manufactures to put bright LED lights on appliances. Our previous Cusinart coffee maker did not have a clock light and we could read it just fine.
