 Love it! December 18, 2007

I bought this machine (in white) a week ago, and I have used it every day since then. I just love it. The machine works so effortless, quick, and elegant. It's such a joy to use it. The blade is super sharp and chops and blends everything very nicely. The two discs that come with it are heavy duty quality and work great. I love the extra large feeding tube. I haven't used the dough blade, so I can't say anything about that. Besides making food preparation fun, the machine also looks very nice and doesn't take up a lot of counter space. All the parts clean up quickly under warm running water. I am so pleased with this machine. I went to the store with the firm resolution to buy the Kitchenaid food processor, but I changed my mind when I compared it to the Cuisinart. I think this machine will serve me well in the years to come.

A happy for my wife which she had picked out. Very nice item, well made and the food its been helping to make has been great. Comes w/video prep/user guide--very helpful.
The Kitchen Aid food processor rated higher according to my wife but I had already ordered this one.
 The unit leaks from the top and bottom September 7, 2007

I recently bought this unit to replace a trusty Cuisinart food processor that I used and loved for 30 years. Sadly, I discarded the old unit (the Lexan bowl had cracked) before fully testing the new unit. The first item I prepared was a small brioche dough. The unit leaked badly under the blade, and that part of the bowl was extremely difficult to clean. The next item I tried to prepare was a cold soup. I filled it to just under the marked fill line and water gushed out of the top when the liquid started to spin. I have just spoken with Cuisinart customer service. Both of these problems are normal with the unit. The maximum liquid that one can process is two cups! My small brioche dough was also too large. and it is normal for some dough to leak out under the blade. Needless to say, my old Cuisinart processor did not have either of these problems. This unit is fine for grating or slicing vegetables, or cheese, but not much else. Such a disappointment!

I replaced a 22 year old Cuisinart DLC 8 plus with this model -- what a number of improvements -- and I was able to continue using all of the blades and the whisk attachment I had purchased years ago for that machine. They are essentially identical to the ones used for this machine (save for those being made in Japan and the new ones in China). It has a much bigger feed tube so a medium sized onion or tomato goes in whole. The size of the unit (for me) is ideal. Perhaps for very large families the 14 cup unit would be the way to go. It is of essentially the same design; however, the blades are not interchangeable between those units.
What I really like is the redesign of the locking mechanism. In the old unit (the DLC 8 plus) [and also some current Cuisinart models] the locking mechanism to prevent start up of the machine unless the unit is assembled is controlled by a beam type latch made out of polycarbonate. I think this design is more prone to cracking. The new unit has a stainless steel beam which when inserted locks the unit. It is a great design.
Another great impovement is redesign of the small feed tube. It is now made of polycarbonate. That material is much more indestructible than whatever lesser plastic was used to design the older small feed tubes. Bounce an old one off the floor and wham -- the locking tabs would break off of it. That is not likely to happen with polycarbonate -- the material used to produce canopies for fighter jets -- it is very impact resistant.
On top of everything else this model with the shape of its bowl and cover is much easier to clean than the old model. I only clean it in the sink though. I would not run this through the dishwaher repeatedly -- especially with fully heated drying. After hundreds of cycles I just can't believe the parts will come out in as good of shape as they would with hand washing. If you have plenty of cash then run them through the dishwasher and then replace parts in five to ten years. I am trying not to. My old unit suffered scratches in the bowl and cracks in the cover assembly and I am not sure dishwashing helped.
Cuisinart offers a very wide range of discs (including a juliene, a french fry cutting disc and a fine grater disc) and a whisk attachment for this unit. If you buy a unit from another manufacturer without the range of this unit (made possible by all of the attachments) I think you may have shortchanged yourself.
 Beware Cuisinart Customer Service August 13, 2007

The first time I washed the workbowl and cover in the dishwasher, something warped and the two pieces became very difficult to close together and practically impossible to separate when forced closed.
Cuisinart required that the workbowl and cover be returned to them before they would be replaced. It took over 6 weeks and many phone calls (mostly unsuccessful in actually talking to a rep) and emails (usually, but not always, promptly replied to) before I received a "replacement" unit, which turned out to be my original bowl and cover returned in the same condition in which I sent it.
I complained via email and was instructed to return the unit again and told that it would be replaced with a new one. When I requested that they just send a new one out and not make me return the old one again, I was refused. No return, no replacement.
Another 4 weeks, phone calls and emails later I received the new unit; the top and the bottom didn't fit together.
I bought a Kitchenaid food processor. I will never buy a Cuisinart product again and I suggest that you don't either.
