 Paddle Switch Rules! March 12, 2007

I use my Cuisinart primarily for chopping veggies or making my own ground beef. I can use more flavorful cuts than the leftover bits usually made into ground beef and control the texture to my preference.
The Cuisinart 7 Cup performs great for my needs. It's both powerful and very quiet. Cheap proccessors with side mounted, belt driven motors are usually so noisy that you don't want to bother with them.
Others may disagree, but I find Cuisinart's safety interlocks only a minor hassle. The small center feed tube isn't interlocked and is useful for adding ingredients while processing.
I looked at other food processors in stores before I bought the Cuisinart, and found I prefer the ergonomic feel and control of the old-fashioned Cuisinart paddle switch. Whether it be the new Cuisinarts or KitchenAids, I don't like to have to search around for the little sealed-dome lumps on modern control panels. The first time you use the Cuisinart up-for-on / down-for-pulse lever switch, it's so easy and intuitive, you don't have to look to use it ever again. I've never regretted my choice - I love the paddle!
When your fingers are wet or messy, you can press the lever down to pulse with a knuckle much more easily than trying to find the right tiny plastic bump on a typical control panel.
If you actually like membrane switches, the KitchenAid food processors are good choices, too, but the Cuisinart classic paddle / lever switch is the trump card for me.
 Safety features = Bad design December 15, 2006

My husband and I have had this appliance for a little over a year, and for the amount that we use it (occassionally), the size is just right. We mostly use it to chop/grate and the end results are good. I've never used it for dough prep, so I can't comment on that.
The one bad thing, though, are the safety features. Only when you have all the parts perfectly aligned will the machine run, which would be fine except that the set up is not intuitive. We fumble around making sure the bowl is lined up correctly--because it fits at many angles, not just one--and getting the cover on is a similar annoyance. The proverbial straw, however, is that you have to use the pusher before the processor will operate. Clearly the safety features think they're smarter than we are, and maybe they are, but they frustrate us every time.
My dad has expressed an interest in a food processor and I'm thinking of getting him one for Christmas, but I will probably get him a KitchenAid because of the safety features of the Cuisinart. If I had it to do over again, I'd get something else.
 Very nice !!! December 1, 2006

I love the Cuisinart products and this stainless steel look for the classic food processor is great. I would reccommend this to any person in need of a quality food processor. The quality is awesome and you will never have to purchase one again.

We had one of these babies in my apartment at college and we used it for everything. Put any good food into the cuisinart and it comes out even better than before. Imagine, chipped roast beef sandwiches, fruit smoothies, home made salsa, hummis, just about anything. If the Cuisinart could withstand college apartment use, it can withstand anything!! Wow, Cuisinart is the God of the kitchen!!
 Worked ok - until it died on me May 28, 2003

I thought this was a great food processor - until one day I put my lettuce in the feed tube, pressed the pulse button, and nothing - dead. It comes with a warranty, but I've tried to call the Cuisinart number and I get a busy signal every time. I have only had the thing for less than 4 months. I would never recomend this product to anyone, nor will I buy from Cuisinart again.
