They break, then the replacements break
Pros: Works as advertised... until it doesn't
Cons: Unit arrived leaking out the bottom. Cuisinart charged $30 to replace it with a unit that stopped working after a month. Cuisinart replaced that unit (for free, but only because we complained about having to pay again) with a third that lasted about 4 months before it died. Cuisinart will no longer replace dead units since the warranty has run out.
Overall Review: On my final call with Cuisinart, they admitted that they hear far more complaints about refurbished units. We are 3/3 for units that don't even last 6 months (with light use). I would strongly suggest you stay away from these.
