Cuisinart WCH-850 CleanWater 1-1/2-Gallon Countertop Water-Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the unit after reading reviews of the product which said it was too slow but purchased it anyway. Upon receipt I quickly got it started and it was like watching grass grow, it took forever to fill the reservoir and the recovery rate is poor. I use the water for making coffee and it could not sufficiently provide drinking water and water for coffee. I sent it back. Don't waste your time as I did.

Cuisinart WCH-950 CleanWater 2-Gallon Countertop Water-Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these last week at Bed Bath and Beyond. I didn't even know I needed one until I saw it. As with most Cuisinart products, the design of the unit is quite nice. But aesthetics aren't everything.
To begin with, the directions aren't very clear. I attempted to pre-soak the filter as directed, but it didn't seem to do anything. Also, the initial filtering of the water took a lot longer than the instructions stated. I believe they said it would take about 15 minutes for the water to filter through into the dispenser. Mine took almost an hour. Who knows, maybe I didn't soak the filter properly. But that was just the beginning of my problems.
Once the water was filtered, I switched the device on. It was a lot louder than I thought it would be. Actually, I wasn't expecting much noise at all. The device does quiet down a bit, after it has reached its target temperatures for the hot and cold. But after you dispense some water, it kicks back in again. If you have a large kitchen, the sound of the device might not be a problem for you. After all, it's a small price to pay for instantly available hot and cold filtered water. OK, "instantly" might not be the best choice of words.
To dispense water from either side, you have to press in and hold the appropriate button. The water comes out in a steady stream, but a very thin stream. Which means, it takes a long time just to fill up one cup. Even as a single man, this kind of wait was unbearable. I can't imagine someone with a family using this device. In any case, if you do end up purchasing this device, I wish you luck. I ended up returning mine just a few days after I purchased it.

Cuisinart WCH-1000 CleanWater 1-1/2-Gallon Countertop Water-Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Water Cooler works great! The setup process can be a little
cumbersome but once setup, the unit is a convenient way to get fresh
water for either drinking or cooking. I have hard well water and it
tasted a little funny but the water cooler filters out that taste. It
also saves room in my refrigerator since I use to have a Brita,
providing a superior alternative.

Cuisinart CHW-12 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Hot Water System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since we don't usually need a full pot of coffee except on weekends -- I typically just grab a Starbucks "Via" instant coffee on the way to work in the morning (a pretty remarkable innovation, by the way) -- I was attracted to the hot water dispenser on this coffee maker. I like it particularly because of its 58-ounce capacity -- meaning that you don't have to keep refilling it if you're just using it once each morning to fill a car mug. My wife prefers tea to coffee, and she loves being able to get a cup of really hot water whenever she likes. (We fill it with spring water, and the results are superb.) I haven't had any problem with the "add water" light, as another reviewer apparently did. I was concerned about squandering energy by keeping a reservoir of water constantly hot, but it doesn't. It keeps only about 13 ounces of water at serving temperature; the rest of the reservoir is unheated. It doesn't take all that much energy to keep 13 ounces of water hot. And if you know you won't be wanting hot water for a while, you can just turn it off with the on/off button. I had expected it to heat water instantly through some kind of coil system -- much like an under-sink unit does -- but not so. As a result, if the unit hasn't been on, there's about a 3-minute wait for the water to reach the right temperature. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish the hot water dispenser were programmable in the way the coffee maker is, but it isn't. You have to start it manually. (No - you can't use an outlet timer because the unit has an electronic on/off switch.) I also wish the hot water dispenser had a temperature adjustment (the coffee maker does); the water it dispenses is so hot that I have to wait for several minutes before I can drink any beverage I make with it. Finally, some Cuisinart coffee makers have a strength adjustment but this doesn't. But these are minor quibbles; it's still a great appliance. The coffee maker itself works as well as an automatic drip coffee maker can -- always a function of trial-and-error at the beginning (what kind and how much coffee you use). It uses a cone filter (#4) -- which in my humble opinion always delivers better coffee than the flat filters used in so many other coffee makers -- including a lot of Cuisinart models -- and the water is sprayed onto the coffee by a showerhead array in the reservoir lid. (Tip for review "Me2": Pour water into the coffee maker by putting the lip of the carafe on the rear LEFT corner and pour it in that way. It's a lot easier and you won't spill any.)

Cuisinart SS-700 Single Serve Brewing System, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit replaces a Keurig mini that I now us for travel. It makes a flavorful, hot cup of coffee. I have been a Keurig fan for three years. I purchased this machine in Feb. 2010 from BB&B. Like other readers, I have had a few pump problems when there seemed to be an air lock in the pump and water would not flow into the heating chamber. The instruction booklet tells you to turn it off and unplug the unit, then restart. I have found that when I refill the water tank I just need to make sure it is properly seated and tap it to make sure the water is getting into the hose that pumps it into the heating chamber. I also use the hot water feature the first "brew" after refilling the tank to make sure the pump is pulling water. (The easiest solution to the pump "problem" is to not take the water chamber off of the base and just refill it with a pitcher as needed.) I did some online research and found that this pump problem was suppose to have been fixed since I purchased my machine. I might have returned this machine for the newer "fixed" model if the BB&B where I purchased it had not closed. I love the coffee from this machine and have had no further pump issues since employing the solutions noted above.

Cuisinart WCH-1500 CleanWater 2-Gallon Countertop Water-Filtration System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this and wasn't sure what to expect. After quite a bit of research I did know this is a smokin deal for a filter which is NSF 42 and 53 certified. (You need that.) I also checked out replacement filter costs and frequency and this unit is very reasonable.
Pros: It filters water very well. I live in LA and the tap water is horrid. Both my Husband and I like the taste.
Filters are cheap and easy to instal. Whole thing is SUPER easy to use.
Cons: The Cold and Hot tanks only fill up one glass each before they have to do their thing to make it hot or cold. I was expecting something like a tankless water heater where the water runs past the hot coils. This has tanks...
It takes what seems like a long time to filter but once you get it going and you continually add water to the top you won't run out.
This is not a con but you should definitely read the instructions on how to treat the filter before installing and using. ;) I didn't do it right so I just had to drain it and start over. Not that big of a deal.
Overall, I love it. Money well spent!!

Avanti WD31EC Table Top Thermoelectric Water Cooler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this water cooler for its small size and ease of use. You do have to flush with water and vinegar or baking soda to get the "plastic" taste out, but once that is done - great tasting bottle water.
Only drawback, my kids love it and they quickly use the cold water. It takes about 25 minutes for the water in the reservoir to get cold.
Nonetheless, great for year around use!
