Amazon.com Review
A perfect gift for new homemakers, the food processor has become an integral part of modern cooking, speeding up a multitude of processes, including kneading dough; slicing; chopping; shredding cheese, vegetables, and meat; mincing garlic and parsley; mixing batters; and emulsifying mayonnaise. Cuisinart's Pro Custom comes with an 11-cup work bowl; five basic attachments for slicing, shredding, chopping, mixing, and kneading; and also features two feed-tube options, one big enough to handle a whole potato. This processor comes with a compact cover for use when the feed tube isn't needed and a pulse control that allows the desired degree of fineness when chopping and puréeing. Remove the detachable stem for compact storage of discs. All the parts are dishwasher-safe and the motor base wipes clean. In addition, a custom-contoured spatula, a 50-page recipe booklet, and a 30-minute video designed to familiarize the new owner with the care and use of the food processor are included. --Victoria Jenkins

4 out of 5 stars Met expectations   June 12, 2008
Kristen L. Gehrig (Chicago, IL USA)
I have a much smaller cuisinart that was cumbersome and could be difficult to use. This bigger one has much higher power and is much easier to use. I've used most of the different blades that came with the machine and they were easy to set up and also easy to clean


2 out of 5 stars Works well, but...   June 10, 2008
Anne L. Watson (Olympia, WA USA)
I had a Cuisinartfor years, this model. Thought I loved it. Recently I dropped the work bowl and cracked it. I phoned Cuisinart, sure I could get a replacement. It turned out they've made minor changes so that you can't just replace a work bowl. If your machine predates the changes, you have to buy all the plastic parts, at a cost near that of a new food processor. I don't appreciate being forced to dispose of a good machine, and I won't buy my next one from Cuisinart. Who knows when they'll make the one you buy today obsolete--will it be a year from now, or next week?



2 out of 5 stars Cuisinart new ownership not the same as the old quality   February 17, 2008

I have used the cuisinart processor for a number of years. Plastic parts eventually broke. So, about 3 months ago, I replaced the bowl, and lid pieces and the new ones weren't the same quality, and would not come apart for cleaning where they had before, though the price was incredibly expensive. (This had to be done in two steps, because each piece was priced separately) The new parts have already bent in such a way they do not work. I have decided to replace my food processor with the kitchen aid. I have found the same drop in quality in other Cuisinart products--a mini prep quickly broke, toaster, and other appliances seem to lack the quality Cuisinart was originally known for. My Kitchen Aid purchases have so far performed supremely better. I hate to have to replace my food processor after I just spent nearly $100 in parts to avoid buying a new appliance. Since I must, after spending the extra, I won't make the mistake of buying Cuisinart again.


2 out of 5 stars Safety interlock is problematic   February 13, 2008

I just donated my Cuisinart food processor to a charity after many years of fighting the safety interlock on it. I just couldn't easily get the bowl mounted on the base, the lid on and the system up and running. I had the same problem taking the bowl off of the base after I was done "processing". Last week I'd finally had it (I found myself using a small mallet to get the bowl on and off of the base and positioned over the safety lock), and ordered myself a 7 cup unit from Kitchenaid. So much easier to use; I'm sorry that I waited so long. I don't miss my Cuisinart at all.
