To correct a fault in equipment

Updated by user Mar 11, 2026

Not to buy their products!! Because of the lack of response from company, I threw the product out!!

Updated by user Feb 26, 2026

Asked for a live tech, to no avail. Issue should have been resolved, but because service was poor, I threw out my cuisines, and will never buy another one of there products, nor recommend them

Original review Feb 24, 2026

Your company has done nothing to correct the issue. I will never purchase from your company again, nor will I ever recommend it to my other chefs.

Preferred solution: Apology

Cuisinart - Lifetime Warranty for 722-20NS 8 inch skillet - Image 2

This product has provided excellent service for at least 8 years of almost daily home use. Only non-abrasive cleaning methods have been used, the use of only recommended non-scratching utensils, and exposure to no greater than medium burner heat on a gas range; however, the non-stick surface no longer prevents certain foods from sticking.

Loss:
$29
Pros:
  • Excellent products i have used before
Cons:
  • None with the exception of this unit

Preferred solution: A replacement skillet of same type. Loved the product!

User's recommendation: Very satisfied with Cuisenart products

Coffee machine stop working

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

  • - Cuisinart machine stopped; code EEO.
  • - Customer service contacted; form filled.
  • - They asked for $5, I refused, and I won't recommend Cuisinart.
Cuisinart - Coffee machine stop working

Contacted customer service about a Cuisinart coffee machine that stopped working, reading a code EEO. I contacted the customer service and filled out the form.

They asked me for five dollars, which I refused to give them for a broken machine that I've already paid my hard-earned money for. It's not fair that I have to pay an additional five dollars to get help and try to get another machine.

Not satisfied, I will be emailing, FaceTiming, and Yelp-ing all activity concerns. I will not recommend Cuisinart if this is the way they do business.

Loss:
$200
Pros:
  • I really like the machine when it was working

Preferred solution: Another machine / coffee maker please

User's recommendation: Not to buy if this is the customer service given after a problem with their materials and products

AI Highlights
  • - I bought a two-in-1 Cuisinart coffee and pod machine.
  • - It has issues and needs exact basket and pot placement to work, and it was expensive.

I recently purchased a two-in-1 Cuisinart coffee machine and pod machine. I've never had so many issues with a coffee machine.

The basket has to be perfectly placed in it. The pot has to be perfectly placed beneath it, or it will all malfunction.

It was too expensive to be this finicky, and I couldn't email you without verifying my own email address, and now you're putting a word limit on my review. Controlling much?

Cons:
  • Finicky

Preferred solution: Nothing

Extremely Dangerous and Disappointing – DO NOT BUY!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The juicer broke while running within weeks, ejecting sharp plastic pieces.
  • - The company refused a refund and offered only a replacement.

Cuisinart - Extremely Dangerous and Disappointing – DO NOT BUY! - Image 3

I've never been so frustrated or so alarmed by a product. We bought this Cuisinart juicer expecting quality, but within less than two months of normal, proper use, the machine literally broke apart while running. Sharp, hard plastic pieces flew out at high speed. This was a serious safety hazard and could have easily injured someone. It was terrifying.

This is not what you expect from a brand like Cuisinart. What's worse is the company's response. After multiple back-and-forth emails, they refused to issue a refund and instead offered only a replacement—why would we want another dangerous, poorly manufactured product? It's unacceptable.

We've used juicers from other brands for years without a single issue. This one barely lasted weeks and could have caused serious harm. I've lost all trust in this brand.

Save yourself the headache, the risk, and the disappointment—do not buy this juicer.

Loss:
$150
Cons:
  • Cheaply made products for an expensive price and terrible customer service

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: DO NOT BUY!

Recall issue Cuisinart, food processor, blade, part number, DLC 2011–2011C

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Oct 30, 2025

The rep was very knowledgeable, polite, understanding, and cordial, and went out of her way to help me out something you don’t get in most service centers these days

Original review Oct 29, 2025

We got a new blade some time ago. The blade was deemed defective, and a new blade was supplied. The new blade has now got hairline cracks in the housing.

Preferred solution: I wanted to notify you that the recalled replacement blade is defective and can I get a replacement?

AI Highlights
  • - Replaced reservoir on Cuisinart OCC3000 twice in the past year.
  • - The coffee release push button is failing again.
  • - Concerns about product quality.

I have replaced the reservoir on the cuisinart model # OCC3000,twice in the past year . There is definitely an issue with the push button to release coffee.

Im tired of having to clean the entire counter , and floor .

It is broke again ! I feel this is not the quality of product your company wants to represent .

User's recommendation: Unless you want to replace your coffee maker every 6 months, this is not the product for you !
