Cuisinart TOB195: Hve they made any improvements on the design on the 195 model as some suggested from the previous models, such as the 155 hot handle and the 175 plastic parts cracking complaints?

If you are speaking of the stainless front one, it is 7 inches deeper and about 3 to 4 inches wider. I could not use it on my counter because of the depth. Mine needs to be pulled out to use so as to not harm the underlighting area of my cabinet. I had to go for the white model that is smaller.

Our Cuisinart TOB-40 switch just burned out (wuit working) after barely a year of use. We had a Black and Decker toaster ovn prior to that for at least 10 years. Anyway after looking at the answers here we are heading out to buy the Breville. The Cuisinart's durability was quite disappointing, and I, too, think it toasted and heated unevenly. We use it almost daily, and need reliability.

That's weird! Mine broke like that too. I just ended up throwing mine away cause I couldn't get it fixed. It evidently is a defect that Cuisinart needs to correct!!

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.

This one is bad, too. So is the Cuisinart HM-50. I'm not sure why we have to choose between powerful and slow! :)

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

If you don't mind spending the extra $50 I would go with the stainless steel model. I've owned my E210 for about five years and I've noticed the porcelain is not hold up. I live in Wisconsin.

They did make improvements on the bowl. It is noticeably stronger than it used to be. That was a concern of mine as well. The removable plate doesn't seem to heat up in same amount of time the older model did. But the difference is minor. Being able to clean it properly is worth it. Haven't seen a bit of yellowing. I'm happy with mine. Hope this was helpful:)

I am sorry to read about the problems other buyers are having with the cracking of these pots. I've now been using mine since 2007 or so and it's as solid as ever - and I use it often - on the stove more often than in the oven. I wonder what type of stove others are using - mine is a glass top (electric) - perhaps the pots don't stand up to gas stoves like they should? Just a thought. At any rate, the seller should stand behind what they sell and that is disappointing.

Any chance you tested it out and it fit? I've purchased an 11 cup Cuisinart as well and am not having any luck finding a 1mm that is specific for my model, was thinking about trying a couple out.

I have had mine quite some time and forgot the model numbers. The new one is better. Construction and usage.

Julie, I've owned two of the Cuisinart openers and given away a couple more as gifts. I too have had a problem with one of the opener's plastic gadget breaking and another with the motor failing. This over a three year span. They are attractive, but I doubt I will buy any more.

Its been awhile since i bought mine, but I remember that there were two that were very much alike. the only difference I could find is that one was a little more "tailored" with nicer lines on the handles and a nice scoop in the lid below the handle so your hand could fit into the handle better. A bit more refined, which is why I chose it. Look closely and you will see. Again, I am going by memory, and not by the model name.

The carafe did not show up yet. I expect it today (12-1-08). I will repost again based on its arrival. My wife and I shopped for a new pot just in case this does not work and WOW, there is a lot of moving parts on the other models. Mr. Coffee was rated by consumers as a good buy but the people who have bought and used the unit said it is a terrible design. Cuisinart has way to many cheap feeling plastic parts. The newer Melitta unit was also rated low. I sure hope my older Melitta holds out for a while.

I just spoke with Cuisinart, and got some good info. First off, thank you, Swidgen, for noticing that the 10S comes with a flat lid whereas the 2007N doesn't - - Cuisinart confirmed this. (For those who don't know, the flat lid comes in handy when making things like hummus or pesto, that don't need the push-chute). Also, the additional weight of the 10S is due to a 600w motor, compared to a 500w motor in the 2007N. Knowing this, will get the 10S, especially since it will sit next to my white Vitamix, and they will make a perfect-looking pair. :-)

I bought mine in 2001. This new one has the padded handle and improved lid. So for me, it is much better. And it runs a little quieter.
