I must say that I have used this appliance only two or three times.  For the most part, it performed as I expected.  It is rather compact, light-weight and reaches the desired temperature in a reasonable amount of time.  We have had to go through the "reset" procedure each time we have used it and found that to be a tad annoying.  Maybe it is something that we are doing wrong and will be more attentive in the future when using the appliance.  We have several Cuisinart appliances and none are "quirky" like this one.
