Cuisinart Reviews

We will never buy a Cuisnart. We got a set from Costco, and they are warped, have been trying to get them to replace them and all they do is give you the runaround, and keep asking for pictures. I have sent 32 pictures and still have nothing. They take your money and run.

I purchased a wok from Cuisinart because the website mentioned that returns are free. However, when I tried to return it, I found out that returns are not actually free, and they don’t even provide a discounted return label. This was misleading and disappointing. It would be much better if the website clearly mentioned that return shipping charges may apply so customers can make informed decisions before purchasing.

This review is for a Cuisinart single-serve coffee maker ss10 series. If you're looking for a coffee maker that will last you about 3 years, then this is the coffee maker for you. Because once the warranty wears off, the eeo code comes up, and it says to descale and the descaling never works. I have purchased three coffee makers over the last 8 years, one was a replacement, one because it fell within the warranty so they do replace it if it falls within the warranty. There seems to be some kind of error within the motor and how the water goes in and out of the coffee maker, this is what causes the error code to come up, and even if you use filtered water and descale regularly, you're still going to get this after a few years, so consumer beware!

Our Cuisinart DCC-750 coffeemaker worked fine until one morning I pressed the ON button, heard a buzzing noise coming from the unit and then saw smoke coming out of the base and smelled burning plastic. After unplugging it and taking it outside, I found other reports online of this model catching fire. I then looked up whether Cuisinart had issued a recall -- nope. They discontinued it but never warned customers that it could set their house on fire. I'll never buy another Cuisinart product.

I spent over $1,000 on a single order and had a very disappointing experience. Within one to two hours of placing my order, I realized that the Cuisinart stand mixer wasn’t as versatile as a KitchenAid when it comes to attachments like a grain mill, meat grinder, sausage maker, etc. Because of that, I only needed to return two items from my entire order, the stand mixer and the meat grinder attachment. I contacted customer service almost immediately to cancel or adjust the order before it shipped. Instead of accommodating a very reasonable request within a short window, they refused to cancel it and then told me I would be responsible for return shipping.

Terrible rude customer service. I reordered the red advantage because the old set wore out in 3 1/2 years even though the warranty claims they last 5 years. Truth is I buy red because it matches an accent in my wallpaper and ordered this again because I am comfortable with the weight of the product and know after 3 years how to set the heating temps while using it. Instead of the red, Cuisinart sent the black set. Upon delivery I contacted them and they refused to do an even exchange because I had discounts that they no longer had to honor. They refused to issue return label. I would NEVER buy another thing from such a miserable bunch of people who lie about the life of the product and care nothing for repeat business. Shown in photo is the old battered set less than 4 years old. The teflon is all chipped up inside the cookware.

Terrible customer service that is apathetic. I ordered a pan for over $100 to be delivered to my son for his birthday and he lives across the country from me. I input the shipping address and paid. But when I received the confirmation email, the shipping address had defaulted to my billing address. I logged in and tried to correct it but couldn't so I called. The customer service agent told me he couldn't fix and couldn't cancel the order. He told me to call UPS and get them to change the delivery address. He didn't tell me that would cost me an additional $17. I emailed customer service and got an automated reply that someone would follow up. No one has.

I have been buying Cuisinart small appliances for 30 years. Lately I have had more problem with the combined coffee maker (craft and k cup). On 9/7/2025 I bought a new one as the one I had broke and no longer had warranty. From the day I received the most recent purchase I have had problem with the k cup. I would not recommend this coffee maker. CSR claimed that the one I bought at Amazon warranty had expired. I did not buy at Amazon. I registered on 9/11/2025 which she claimed she could not check it THEN SHE HUNG UP THE PHONE... BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. VERY DISAPPOINTED

I write this with sadness, as I have been a Cuisinart customer for decades. In the past two weeks, my 10-year-old 14-cup food processor imploded. The locking system that keeps the blade from riding up when processing dough wouldn't release the bowl or blade. I tried everything suggested in the User Guide and on the internet, and then called customer service. Over the next four days, I spoke with four customer service reps, who made several suggestions, none of which worked. One person offered a promo of 20% off a new unit.

I bought a Cuisinart 14 in 1 Air Fryer in November 2025. Less than two months later while I was cooking in it, the glass plate fell out. It was hot and burnt my son who opened the door. I immediately contacted Cuisinart showing photos of the product. Their solution- I should find a box and repackage the item to ship back to them so they can evaluate it. Pictures show the story. The glass was glued to the cover. That is how it is designed. Clearly they don’t stand by the defective product which causes injuries.

I've had Cuisinart coffee makers most of my adult life and have been pretty reliable and last an average of 10 years until 12 years ago. I just had my 4th maker fail in the last 12 years. Pretty sad to see another what was once considered a very good reliable coffee maker with a fair price become like so many past reliable appliance products made with cheaper parts and become disposable. Even the paint failed on the hot plate which began to rust. This last unit is only 3 years old. Guess I will try another brand now.

I have a 14 cup drip Cuisinart coffee maker. From day one it has made terrible coffee. I have switched coffee brands thinking that it might be the coffee and that has not made a difference. The coffee taste weak no matter adding an appropriate additional amount. I would never buy a Cuisinart coffee maker again.

Nowhere in my instruction Manual does it tell me how to shut off the Red cleaning light after I have cleaned the coffee maker. That red light at night can be SO annoying. Red means danger. I have looked at every page of my Manual, then gone on youtube and still that lights stays on, now I have another light the Clean light that is also red that will not go off. This is SO annoying to me that the next product I purchase will NOT be Cuisinart. Good bye.

Purchased a $250 dollar coffee maker as a gift. The couple received one and I did not know. I contacted Customer Service to return the coffee maker. It was not opened. The CS rep. was rude, obnoxious and condescending. The least expensive return shipping was $112.83 via UPS. I appealed for a return shipping label several times. All SC reps were awful. Miserable and refused to help or give me any information about continuing my appeal. Shipping costs these companies pennies with their contracts. For an individual it’s a huge cost. The machine is a piece of JUNK, just like the company. I threw it in the trash where it belongs. This was my first Cuisinart purchase, NEVER AGAIN! They hide the details of their return policy. Complete scam.

Customer service was not available. I called but got a voice message only stating where the service centre was located (approx. 50KM from my home). That would mean 200KM to bring my coffee grinder for repair or replacement. (1 trip to bring the unit and 1 to pick it up). The other option was to mail the unit and include a money order for the return shipment. This will be the last Cuisinart product I buy. PS: The unit was 90 days old when it stopped working

I am looking for a replacement rack for the Combo Steam+Convection oven CSO-300N1C. at the first attempt to call I patiently waiting for customer service to answer, however, after waiting longer and longer, I asked for a call back as the phone system promised to keep my call position in the waiting line. The call back happened 2 days later, when I had my phone in silent mode at work. On the second attempt to reach customer service I waited for over an hour to talk to a service person without any luck. A call back came in over another hour later, when I was away from my phone. Ok, my fault. Then I thought, all might be easier by emailing customer service, typed up my request and all specifics, uploaded a picture of the serial number and then tried to send it off....the email bounced back due to "technical issues". Very annoying.

I purchased a coffee maker, it also has the pod usage. Within 3 months the pods side no longer works. I tried everything in the manual trouble shooting. I did regular cleanings. Trouble started with the amount of water calibrated to make a cup. Like many other people I thought Cuisinart was a quality brand, but I have changed my mind. Another company that does not care about quality!

Placed an order online and realized that their no pfas statement on their air fryer is not true since it has ceramic coating, which does degrade in time. However, I tried to cancel it before they even processed it and was told there's nothing they can do. Yes, there's some disclaimer, but the order wasn't even processed yet. I need to cancel it on UPS's website somehow, I will never purchase anything from this company. Otherwise, I must pay for shipping to be shipped back to them and that would cost about 20% of the product. The fact that their customer service is not empowered is pretty sneaky. I was actually going to buy another appliance instead, but forget that.

I purchased the Cuisinart two in one coffee maker in May of 2025. I paid $129.99 plus tax. I did not start to use this coffee maker until June because. I was in the middle of moving. I did not have the time right then to unpack it and read the instructions so I continued to use the other coffee maker I had until I had time to open it and unpack, make sure all the parts were there and then read the instructions to learn how to operate the machine.

Wow, I just tried to buy a replacement part for my food processor from Cuisinart. The manager was unbelievably unhelpful, was clearly assuming that I was lying and gaslit me. And their website would not accept my PayPal, even though there’s plenty of money in that account. I would not recommend going through their customer service to try to do anything! Very disappointing!
