I purchased about 3 months ago, and has the Cuisinart name ,the quality isn't as good as past Mr. Coffee units we've had. 
When pouring coffee it drips everywhere, and sometimes there's water under the unit on the counteroffer filing, and were very careful filling . The brew strength selector doesn't change the coffee strength regardless where it's set, one bar or three.
I would have to think hard about buying another Cuisinart product again, and could not recommend this model for the price to anyone.
