anyone knows difference between MaxiMatic and Cuisinart model that looks exactly the same? http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-PRC-12-Stainless-Steel-P

When I researched them I believe the MaxiMatic was the only one with the removable turntable base with cord storage. It is a really handy feature and I really like mine combined with the digital 7 day programmable timer I use with it.

I bought the MaxiMatic for our camper and just love it. It looks like the difference between the two will be the nice bottom. The MaxiMatic looks like it is sturdier. Might have something to do with being made in the USA! I agree with Carol C., You should never leave electrical appliances plugged in!

The difference is that MaxiMatic is made in the U.S.A., while Cuisinart is not! We love our percolator! If and when we need a new one, we'll buy another MaxiMatic. I would also think that Cuisinart is a bit more expensive only because of the name. As for the previous comment: If Jerry had read the instructions and manual, he would have known to pull the plug before it burned the coffee or his kitchen. Leaving any electrical appliance unattended for hours is just plain stupid! The only exception I can think of is a Slow Cooker. Besides, unless the pot was already nearly empty, it would take several hours for the coffee to evaporate and subsequently burn the pot and/or the kitchen!

DoNOT buy the Maximatic. It does not have auto shut off and nearly burnt my kitchen down:))

it is hard to say, because Cuisinart may change the size on every new model. in my case I replace it and bought a new one less headache

Maestro: The plastic model works well, But for the few extra $'s (10.00) I would get the stainless if I had to do it again. DO NOT put the plastic version in the dishwasher. If you take it apart and do this it will loose its shape.

The newer mcp has a different handle and that is the way to differentiate between the two. I know very little about the product other than that. I do know that I purchases the original mcp when it first came out. I love the product so much that I bought sets for my mom and both adult sons. The older version si probably so evpensive because it is on par with other professional cookware.

Good question. Nobody seems to know. I ordered a BCC and received a BC and the seller claimed there was no difference and actually was unaware of a BCC version. I noticed that the BCC descriptions claimed stainless steel, but BC did not. I was afraid BC stood for "brushed chrome". However, when i received the BC version, it is stainless, and says so on the box. I did look into it and found some references to the BCC version being one that complied with Canadian safety standards. Maybe why there's an extra C? Regardless, we've had the BC for a few weeks now and love it. We had an older version Cuisinart grind and brew. this one is a great improvement.

Sorry I don't know. I think it also has to do with the shape of each pot.The one I bought doesn't even fit the Cuisinart pot that Amazon recommended. It was a waste of money for me. I emailed Cuisinart but they never really told me why it didn't fit. I'm not sure if it was Amazon or Cuisinart's error, but this one did not fit Cuisinart's Multiclad pan as stated on this site.

I did not see anywhere on the website where it said which one it fit. I assumed it would fit all coffee pots ! It LOOKED like the one I had. I have a 2600. I went on the Cuisnart Website and found out there are SEVERAL holders and they alllll look the same! But appartetnly are different in sizes! THANK YOU FOR THE REFUND!

Probably best to check with Cuisinart directly. Either call or on their website.

I sold mine and bought a Keurig so I don't know. You could probably find the info on their website. Having owned both, I would recommend the Keurig Mini. Same size but makes better coffee by far. Huge difference. That's why I sold my Cuisinart.

I got mine from Costco but do not know if we have the same model. Chat with kitchen aid customer service and give the exact model u have.

I just bought a Cuisinart Elite 14 FP yesterday. I will post my feedback once I put it to the test. I also subscribe to Consumer Reports and Cuisinart rated #1 on food processors.

I chose Cuisinart because the lids seem to seal better and I am more familiar with that brand name. In the reviews, a lot of people compared Cuisinart to the more expensive All Clad cookware.

The only difference I see is the copper design on the bottom. I like the design of the old model better. It seems to have more copper coverage which is why I was attracted to it to begin with. I see no reason for the new one to be more expensive. I would get the older model if I were you. I love mine. I do hand wash it. I don't know why but it is so simple and quick. I just put a drop of soap in it and wash it out as soon as I take the food out. Takes about 30 seconds. It cleans easier if you do it while the pan is still hot. I would not buy the new expensive model if you can still get the old one. The only difference I see is the copper design on the bottom. I like the design of the old model better.

I tried both. I actually bought the cuisinart first but found the quality not so good. I ordered the fager and my DH likes it much better. The cleanup is a lot easier (the lid is easier to clean and the gasket to reinstall) and it browns meat before cooking. Another great feature is being able to cook in it. If things seems like they are not cooking you can just use brown and it cooks as if it were a pot on the stove. Love the fager!!!

It is hard to say, as I haven't seen the BBQ Mate. It looks good. I know that the Cuisinart one is good quality materials. My son in law loves using it. Cleans up well...solid feel to it.
