Title: A Pretty and Expensive Piece of Junk
Review: So, how long did it last? Only eight months. Unfortunately, I read the negative reviews here AFTER I bought it. I started using the paper towel trick to stop the leaking down the back of the machine right away; I kept it clean; I bought the expensive extra filters; I used filtered water. But yesterday, when I turned it on, nada. After about an hour it finally kicked in. It did the same thing today, so I'm junking it. I suppose I could try programming it to start an hour before I get up--but how long will it last like that? Considering the negative experiences reported by people who have tried to get the manufacturer to make good on the warranty, I don't think it will be worth the hassle.It was pretty cool at first--great tasting coffee, and I liked the dispenser idea. But, ultimately, this coffeemaker is a waste of money. Shame on Cuisinart for not making a better product. They are obviously relying on their name to sell a substandard product.
Is the review positive or negative?
