This model will not last for a full year

I purchased this model in Feb of 2018. Today is Jan 17, 2019 and it is having to be replaced. The clean indicator light continually flashes no matter how often you run the clean cycle. Please do not tell me this is because of "minerals", or "hard water". I have a whole house filtration and softening system in which my filters are changed regularly. This is not the issue. Today began a new issue. The coffee pot begins to brew a pot, gets 1/3 of the water out of the reservoir, then beeps as if it is done. I'm having to repeatedly turn the unit back on 3 and 4 times (on my second pot today) to get a full pot to brew. I bought Cuisinart based on the fact that it used to be a trusted name. I had a model like this several years ago and it lasted me for over 5 years. However it seems that Cuisinart, like other manufacturers are content with cranking out cheap products for full retail price in the hope that when it breaks in a year, we'll come back and buy another one. Well, sorry but no. You've lost your chance. I will not buy Cuisinart again. It has become an unreliable brand.
