I purchased this product 5 months ago and it lasted about a month before it quit working after making a morning pot of coffee. I tried it again the next morning just in case, but it was dead. I contacted Cuisinart customer service and was pleased to have a person answer the phone. I told her my troubles and she deduced that I had a defective cord which she said would replace and would be sent to me in 10-12 days. I didn't care for the length of time, but kept it to myself. 3 weeks later the cord arrived and it didn't fix the problem, so I called back and was asked to send the coffee pot back with a check for $20.00 to ship the new percolator to me. This time I stood up for myself and requested that they send me the percolator and when I received it I would pay to send the broken one back. She agreed and said it would be mailed out in 10-12 days. It never arrived! I was however, emailed a customer service satisfaction survey in the last week of December, which I filled out and sent back with a check mark in the box requesting that customer service contact me. A week or more later, I have yet to receive a call. Never have I seen a company so unconcerned with a dissatisfied customer! Their product and customer service are on par with each other...very poor!
What's great about it: The first month it made great coffee.
What's not so great: Poor quality, poor customer service, meaningless warranty,
