Rating: - Exercise in utter frustration
Where to begin? The motor is so light, that most of the time it cannot even cut through a marshmallow. Good thing it comes with a 3 year warranty, because now - in it's first year - we're up to replacement number three!
Please note that when you do contact the Cuisinart warranty department (and you will!), they will first try to convince you to exchange your purchase with Amazon.
The stand is laughable since it is extremely unstable and the electric cord *always* gets caught at the bottom when removing the handle, which means that both stand and second set of knifes ... Read More
Rating: - Expensive junk
Expensive junk! It is amazing how poorly made this product is. I used this knife for the first time last evening and half way through carving a large stand up rib roast the blades stopped working and the motor kept running.
Upon inspection, I found that a plastic gear connected to a steel worm gear had stripped. I can't believe some idiot designer would combine a critical steel gear with a plastic one; the unit was doomed from the start. Cuisinart, which made a name for itself by producing quality products certainly has fallen into shoddy manufacturing.
Rating: - electric knife
I saw electric knives reviewed in the New York Times and this is the one that was highly rated. My old knife was 20 years old and I didn't realize how much improved the new ones are. Thanksgiving turkey carving was a pleasure.
Rating: - Noisy
This knife is noisy. Had a 20 year old electric knife that had a better handle and was half as loud. I was hoping for a huge improvement to the old knife but it feels like I have a power tool. The cutting is ok and gest the job done but sometimes I just want to shut if off because it's so loud.
Rating: - great cutting poor quality
I have owned 3 of these knives, I cut bread with it from my bread machine almost daily and meat 6-7 times a year. It cuts well and performs like a champ. The only problem is that it has never lasted me past the warranty date. The first one I hadn't realized was under warranty so I bought a new one, the second one I sent in and they sent me a new one but amazingly it lasted a shorter time than the others. It turns out there is a significant design flaw in the trigger, at some point it only works Cuisinart CEK-40 Electric Knifeintermittently then stops working all together. 3 out of 3 knives can't ...
