Nothing is worse than when you go to the kitchen to make something homemade only to find that your blender won’t blend, toaster won’t toast, or coffee maker won’t…coffee make. Where to go and what to do? If you have a Cuisinart appliance, consider one of these three places to buy Cuisinart replacement parts.
The Gourmet Depot, Inc.
(Appliance Sales and Service Co.)
San Francisco, California

The Gourmet Depot, Inc., has hundreds of replacement parts for all kinds of Cuisinart products ranging from coffee makers to food processors. The range of parts is amazing. Before you throw out that old machine that would work perfectly fine if not for that one missing component that you absolutely need to make the machine useful, come here.
Many things that you would never dream of finding at the department store, such as coffee maker carafes, fry baskets, even individual jars for blenders, can be found here. By the way, the Gourmet Depot offers a full line of new, complete appliances as well among the Cuisinart line and also a number of other brands.
The Gourmet Depot site does have a handy search option which allows you to input the brand of the product for which you need parts, as well as search fields for the type of machine and the kind or part or accessory. Also, Gourmet Depot offers free shipping on Cuisinart part and accessory orders costing more than $60. Expedited shipping options are available, and The Gourmet Depot accepts credit cards, money orders, or personal checks.

This site is the destination for anyone needing a wide array of Cuisinart replacement parts. Ranging from water filtration devices to bread makers and everything in-between, SmallAppliance.com has everything to meet your Cuisinart parts needs.
Something that makes shopping here nice is that all the different types of appliances are pictured in a convenient menu, so if you don’t know what your type of appliance is called, you can simply match it to the Cuisinart products depicted on the main Cuisinart replacement parts page.
Just click on the image, and up comes a page with all the different types of Cuisinart models that fall under that category. Click on the model number you have, and off you go to the available parts list. Something tells me this site may have fewer Cuisinart parts listed than The Gourmet Depot, but I prefer the organizational method SmallAppliance.com uses to list its parts. SmallAppliance offers free shipping on parts orders over $59.99, and they offer fast, air shipping options as well.

If you are in need of Cuisinart parts and accessories, why not just go to the source of Cuisinart parts itself: Cuisinart! Cuisinart’s parts and accessories site has everything you need to replace broken components, freshen up your old Cuisinart appliance, and even to add new parts and expansions to your current Cuisinart products.
I love the ease of use with this site, and it takes only a few clicks of the computer mouse to get where you need to, thanks to the convenient item-selection system and full-color illustrations and photographs. Prices are clearly listed, and the website is overall quite user-friendly.
Don’t forget—any customer who uses the Cuisinart website to buy replacement parts can be assured of having direct, Cuisinart backing of all the products there sold, perhaps little chance of any refund/recourse problems (as this is a major corporation), and plenty of options for payment and shipment.
Bear in mind though, that as this is a large corporation, it may be a little more difficult to get a quick response via e-mail or telephone, and you may not be able to receive the kind of personal attention that a smaller parts service may offer—though it seems today that most companies, big and small, are doing their best to roll out the red carpet for its customers.
