1 out of 5 stars Believe the reviews. This product is not worth your money   May 3, 2008

You might think that you're saving space by getting this appliance, and you're right - you'll be saving lots of space because this product is going to end up in the garbage. My food processor became defective after 3 uses. The food processor blade got stuck on the gear box stem in a funky position, so it won't work turn, and it refuses to come off.

Even if you don't have any problems, the food processor is wholly inadequate for most humanoid life forms. I kidded myself into thinking I wouldn't mind pureeing my butternut squash soup in six batches, or making pesto in three batches. I was wrong.

The blender is like your coworker who does just barely enough not to get fired. And the button controls are like the food processor/blender version of Windows Vista - confusing, clunky and counterintuitive.

Cuisinart seems to be using the inkjet printer business model with this product, where they suck you in with an affordable price and then slam you with their $20 toner cartridges. Make money on the machine, and then keep on making money with parts that break and need replacing.

Invest in a real food processor and blender. You'll thank yourself.



1 out of 5 stars Junk Food Processor   April 28, 2008

Buyer beware! Mine broke trying to shred cheese with it. Seems the black gear housing between the motor unit and the blade is garbage, not well designed and fails. Replaced under warranty but I bought unit with the expectation of being able to use it...


1 out of 5 stars A piece of JUNK! Broke after 1 month of daily use   April 23, 2008

I make protein shakes every morning for breakfast with ice cubes, frozen fruit, protein powder and milk. The food processor function did a decent job of breaking up the ice and frozen fruit. The stir function was a joke, because it didn't do anything after I added the powder and milk. I ended up stirring everything my self with a spoon. After 2 weeks I noticed a strange high pitched whirring sound and a little bit of clacking, like the base motor was spinning uncontrollably after I stopped the blender. Two weeks later the whirring and clacking became 50x louder and sounded like a loose part was spinning around inside the base. I thought the base was going to explode in my face. This piece of junk is going in the trash.


4 out of 5 stars Powerful and Easy to Use   April 12, 2008

This is an easy to use and simple product. Often food processors are too complicated to get that much use. This one is straight forward. It is also powerful. Crushing ice is no problem.
