Cuisinart DCC-2000 12 Cup Coffee Maker

Comments:
I purchased this about 1.5 years ago and it worked great for several months. Then I noticed the switch for the
<br>auto on function stopped working. I called customer service and they asked me to reset the computer by
<br>unplugging for 30 seconds. That did not work. It was under warrantee so they sent me a new one which would
<br>only be covered under the original warrantee. The original warrantee was about to expire in 2 months. Well,
<br>within several months (4) the new one did exactly the same thing. My sister-in-law's did the exact same
<br>thing. Obviously there is a defective switch. I emailed customer service to see if there was anything that they
<br>could do. I have not heard back. This is the last cuisinart product I will buy.

The unit leaks water on the counter, the unit shuts down periodically, then comes back on but the clocks have to be reset. A friend has the same model with the same problems. We do not leave the units plugged in for fear of short circuit and fire. We wonder if this is a defect and a danger.

Well, at first we thought wow, what a cool idea not having a karafe to clean. Unfortunately it isn't as cool as you'd think. Found our when we had a party that guests had to go to kitchen to fill their coffee-cup, and then I went out and bought a karafe to pour the coffee in and bring to table. Karafe, of course, did not fit under the thing, so I had to do it cup by cup - what a mess.
<br><br>
<br><br>Programming the thing to start at a pre-set time was nearly impossible to figure out.
<br><br>
<br><br>And Most IMPORTANTLY - the coffee maker died - shorted itself out - last week. We've only had the machine for 2 months. And guess what? I'm glad it died to I could get rid of it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE MY FRIENDS.

Piece of Crap! Don't buy it! Like very many others around the web, It just stopped working after 5 months.

While not having a carafe is kind of nice, the time it takes to carefully fill the resevoir and not have water all over the counter ruins whatever is nice about this coffee maker.

I purchased this coffee maker about one year ago (October 2006)and had to bring it back because it leaked water from the holding tank. I exchanged it for the same coffee maker which died this morning 10/24/2007. I paid $99 and will not buy another Cuisinart.

When you fill the reservoir, if you do not pour very slowly, the water will come out into and overflow the drip tray. I had this unit replaced under warranty (the first one quit powering on) with Cuisinart, and both pots do the same thing. Always have to keep a towel handy when making coffee, very frustrating.

I purchased this, thinking it would be the greatest, from the start my husband hated it, hate to say he was right, very hard to get water into resevior, leaks water, need a towel for every pot of coffee, to large for most counters, dont recomend.............

We purchased our coffee maker as a seasonal item for $65.00. We drink strong coffee atleast twice a day. We were very impressed with the style ease and convience. It's easy to clean and stores easy. Has a nice chime when pot is completely brewed. If you

After we discovered that our Mr. Coffee machine had a defective heating element, so hot on the bottom of the unit it started to buckle the laminate on the counter top, my husband found the On Demand Cuisinart. The heating element is in the middle of the
