food processor
I called the [protected], customer service number listed on my food processor on 12/10/2022 multiple times;
at 9:20 am and after 10 min. I was disconnected, then at 9:30 am, and after 4 min. I was disconnected,
at 9:35am, and after 3 min. I was disconnected, ar 9:36am, and after 11 min. I was disconnected.
Cuisiart makes high-end appliances but they severly cheapen their products by hiring "work-at-home" customer
service reps who are incapable of handling calls. On several of the calls I actually heard reps hang up.
This is unacceptable. Who wants an expensive product from a company who hires cheap labor?
I ordered a new lid, $26 + tax. I was told there was no shipping charge. My tax rate is 7.5% however I was
charged $4.16 for tax ($30.16 total; order #[protected]) I placed the order on 12/9/2022, and that call
lasted 1hr 12 min., which is also unacceptable). I want a refund on the overcharge on the tax. That is
why I was calling on 12/10/2022.
Desired outcome: refund of excess tax charge
Coffee Center® 12 Cup Coffeemaker and Single-Serve Brewer
I bought this coffee maker in June of 2021. As of March, 2022 we've had nothing but problems with it. It leaks water from the kcup chamber into the cup base and overflows onto my countertops and under the coffee maker if it's not kept on top of with cleaning up the water. It clogs all the time with coffee grinds resulting in coffee grinds in our coffee when making a kcup, then having to clean the needles almost daily. Just a huge hassle and we are going to have to get rid of it as it really is too much of a problem at this point. VERY disappointed with this product.
Desired outcome: a new one!
Procuct not working
This is my last attempt to resolve issue with my Clermont smoker. Early on in my warranty period, the temp probes quit working. I contacted your company in march of this year and still I am having issues getting replacements. Your company offers: oops we thought they were sent, then we are sending again, now your shipping department is behind. This is all unacceptable to me. replace the temperature probes immediately or refund my purchase of almost $900 now. I don't expect either because your customer service has proven to be useless but this communication strengthens my court case.
Desired outcome: Replace defective components during warranty
2 skillets 10 inch and 12 inch
bought one each about 18 months ago, wash by hand and use plastic, silicone or wooden utensils. Both are showing significant wear, even some scratches
68122-24 is the 10 inch ; 68122-30 is the other.
V30919-0618 and V30919-0618 are shown on bottom also. they were purchsed at Home Goods, Gretna NE
They are both non stick coated.
Desired outcome: replacement or refund
I am very disappointed that my stainless steel cuisinart cookware lids do not have steam vents. When I called customer service to ask why they told me rudely that they were not the manufacturer and that if I was unhappy with their product I could return it.
I have a beautiful large double handle deep skillet made by cuisinart came with a glass lid purchased at homegoods. I consider it a fraud..the very thin coating of metal on the bottom of the pan scratches badly from cooking and there is a pitted spot in the bottom exposing another underlying metal! This is supposed to be a top quality safe stainless steel pan. it is not! I paid $50 dollars for it several years ago. wasted my money. I was taken in by the beauty of this fake stainless steel fake quality pan. Not usable because its not safe. its shedding its ultra thin fake steel interior!
12 cup programmable coffee maker model#dcc-1850 sn#[protected]
I sent a complaint about this coffee maker. It has totally rusted on bottom of maker. I was told to wash it with vinegar which made it worse.
Obviously the material on the bottom of this machine is sub standard - shouldn't ever rust if right material was used at production.
The coffee maker looks terrible.
I will not buy another product from this company. It is only a year old. Warranty states that it protects materials as well as function= obviously this is not true
Very disappointed with company!
Desired outcome: New one
Cuisinart 3-in-1 pizza oven plus
It is impossible to get this product below 500 degrees on the lowest setting. It is imperative that you hover over the oven and open the pizza door to lower the temp; then close it when it falls low. Absolutely ridiculous! I have never had to be a helicopter parent for a bbq in my life! Biggest waste of 300+ bucks ever. Also, impossible to clean. Everything burns on and there are so many sharp edges everywhere. I nearly needed a transfusion after cleaning it. I wouldn't give this thing away to anyone; that would be cruel. The flame should be adjustable on the consumer lever because it is clearly not done correctly from the factory. All sharp edges should be rounded to avoid the deep, painful cuts sheet metal causes. The magnet on the pizza door needs to be stronger but that is the least of my worries. Overall I would give this oven 1 star because it looks good. That's where the good news ends though.
Cuisinart model #58cg22-30bk skillet
The skillet worked nicely when it was brand new, but after a while everything started sticking to it and it was becoming difficult to clean. We had to presoak it before having to scrub it.
My email address is [protected]@yahoo.com
Thank you for any assistance you may provide.
I am sorry that I don't have the receipts and I don't remember the date that I purchased the skillet, but I think I purchased it in Publix grocery store.
Desired outcome: Send a better replacement 12" skillet.
Please contact Customer Service at [protected] for further assistance.
12 cup coffee grinder/maker
The coffee grinder component does not hold enough coffee to make a good cup of coffee for the 12 cup servings. But the real problem is a poor design that leaves varying amounts of the coffee grinds behind in the grinder or in the grinders chute leading to the filter! I have had some mornings ruined by a badly weak pot of coffee that had to be poured down the drain! Then there is the cleanup! The device takes much more time to clean and must be thoroughly cleaned after every grind/pot as the humidity from the brewing(?) makes the grinds stick to everything! This is a poorly designed and built piece of Chinese Junk! At the price , I expected quality! I do not recommend buying anything from this purveyor of Chinese Communist Junk Products at premium pricing! Cuisinart Coffee maker is a rip off! Their company service is lousy and the reviews censored or selected , I believe, on their website and not to be believed. I tried to leave a review there unsuccessfully!
Desired outcome: They should refund , no questions asked , on this defective product line, all money from anyone who request it! Made by Chinese Communist should be in large embossed letters across the front of these products !
Cuisinart coffee center, SS-15 series
Hello. I bought this coffee maker from Kohls about a year ago and have really enjoyed it...until recently. For the past several weeks, I have been unable to brew an entire pot of coffee. The brewing cycle stops prematurely, sometimes after only a partial cup of coffee drips into the carafe. I have tried cleaning and descaling the coffee maker repeatedly, but the results have been disappointing. I have turned it off, unplugged it to try to reset it, and did everything the manual suggested to resolve the problem, to no avail. We also replaced the charcoal filters in both the 12-cup reservoir as well as in the K-cup reservoir, but nothing has improved. In addition, the K-cup side of the coffee maker has not been filling cups to the proper volume either. This morning my husband tried to make a 10oz cup of coffee and got less than 2 ounces. We can't seem to get anything from either side of the coffee maker.
We have several Cuisinart appliances and think highly of the brand, but this experience has been rather abysmal. We take good care of our appliances and are hugely disappointed in how this one has failed us. We suspect this coffee pot is defective and not representative of the quality we expect from Cuisinart.
Desired outcome: Since we love our coffee and paid a handsome price for this coffee maker, would it be possible to get a replacement? We've only had it for a year, and that's too soon for it to stop working. Thank you for considering this request.
I just bought the cuisinart coffee center model ss-15 series and have been having problems with the single serving I buy all my products from cuisinart. I am very disappointed with this one. I ask for a replacement.
Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven
I have to say that I am very disappointed in this product, as Cuisinart has a very good reputation?
It was purchased 10/04/2020 and I received as a Christmas gift in Dec.2020
The other day, it just stopped working? I feel that this product should've lasted a lot longer then this? I also see there are more complaints on the same or similar products.
Desired outcome: I would like to have it fixed or possibly a replacement.
Cuisinart Twin Oaks Dual Function Pellet Grill
I have called and left messages for the Customer Service Department of Cuisinart Grills and have not rec'd a response. I purchased the Cuisinart TWin Oaks Dual Function Pellet Grill October/12/2021. I have had issues with the grill since I purchased but at least the Representatives returned my call and sent corrected parts. I have not rec'd a return call since I started calling Monday 4/23/2022. Very Concerned! My grill needs to be fixed!

Cuisinart Toaster Model CPT 160/FKK
We have had the toaster for about 5 years and never had a problem.
We had just come home from church (3 hours out) and noticed an acrid smoke smell in the house. We searched all over and finally found the toaster had
caught/stuck in the down position. It was in an enclosed area on the cabinet
counter top and when we opened the space it was almost like an oven.
Some plastic cups had melted in the spqce and if we had not got home when we did we would have definitely had a fire. We were able to release the
down unit and toaster does not work anymore (of course we would not use it
even if it did).
Dangerous situation.
Desired outcome: Test these units thoroughly for automatic shut off.
i think i am missing something. its on a counter enclosed, plugged in and it automatically turned on?
i did a search and that model it doesn't turn on unless the lever is pushed down. did anything fall and push the lever down?
SS-GB1 Series
Purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond. I use pods for single cups most of the time and the cups overflow. Set to 8 oz it dispenses 12 oz. set at 10 oz it dispenses 13 oz, and set at 12 oz it dispenses 16 oz. So ,it either overflows or I have to watch it and turn the brew off before it overflows and makes a mess.
Desired outcome: Send me one that works properly or refund my money
Cuisinart Toaster oven model TOB-40N
Toaster oven model number TOB-40N.
My toaster oven turns on automatically. This is a fire hazard.
Doesn’t matter what setting it’s on, it turns on, gets very hot, then turn soff and back on again.
I have 2 houses and have 2 of these and both have the same problem.
These should be recalled and money back provided as this is a fire hazard.
Action must be taken.
Desired outcome: Recall and money back provided
Coffee Grinder Model DBM-8
Product just simply stopped would not grind coffee.
Online order from Cuisinart.com
Ordered a part for my Cuisinart Grill back in October/21. A picture of the product I ordered is below however they just sent empty rollers minus the skewers which can't even work without the skewers inserted. Response from Cuisinart says they don't actually have the full piece to send even though that is what they confirmed I ordered, so they issued me a return label to send item back.
They confirm return of item back early November but have never issued refund. The response to my inquiry about the refund started with excuses and now their emails don't even make sense. Below is a copy of the latest correspondence.

Echo4
Hi we have been really happy thru the years with your products mixers, mixers blenders and more. Recently purchased an echo4 thru Amazon, first one didn't work, returned got a new one it didn't work? Normally the quality of your products is outstanding, have never had any issues with any of your many products. Disappointed in this item. Not sure why two in a row don't work?

Ice cream scoop defective
I have had 2 cuisinart ice cream scoops that have metal eruption in the bowl of scoop after use. I only hand wash and dry, never the dishwasher. Happy to send a photo of this last one before I throw out. I have since bought the OXO ice cream scoop and have had no problems. Just thought you should know for your company's information as I would imagine that whoever is manufacturing the scoop, someone in China perhaps?, is obviously using inferior metal.
Desired outcome: None, just wanted to let you know As I generally go to your products for the Cuisinart reputation, maybe not so much in the future?
Air fryer toaster oven
Not a complaint, this is a review
I have had my Toaster oven for only a few months and mostly use the air fryer and baking options. I use the product daily, I really love the product. However I can't understand for the money spent on this why none of the pans are coated for protection. It looks like an 30 year old oven already, The pans, even when I spray them to protect them are coated with burn marks and yellow and I have tried everything to scrub them clean. It looks disgusting quite actually. I am very disappointed. I won't buy the product again just for this reason. Sorry.
Coffee Maker
This is not so much a complaint as it is feedback on a design feature. I bought a DCC-1200 coffee maker and I am please with it except the means by which the reservoir is filled with water to a given level.
The little "stair step" thing inside the reservoir is hard to estimate, especially on the lower levels of fill, because of how far down it is.
An earlier Cuisinart coffee maker had a level indicator on the outside which was by comparison very easy to use. I would suggest you design that one into future products that take water prior to use.
Thanks!
D
Desired outcome: A replacement with a model that has what I describe
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
