|  | This food processor is wonderful! I was really surprised as to the weight of the machine - it's a monster! It processes food with the greatest of ease.
| | Making friends with a Cuisanart | |
|  | This great big cuisanart arrived to replace a little old model I got in the 70s. It seems not only big but a bit complicated to operate...any appliance that needs a DVD to explain itself has a slight problem. However, it works well once you wrangle it into position. I'm beginning to like it alot!
| |  | The food processor works fine. But the lid is difficult to manage and clean. I think it was designed by lawyers who were more concerned about the possibility of a cut finger than chopping or grating food. I'd rather have a Robot Coupe, but for the price this is ok.
| | Quiet, efficient, if a little small | |
|  | While I didn't try using this in my lap or mistake it for a saucepan (see 1-star reviews), I have used the DLC-10S for a variety of kitchen tasks and it's performed very well. I was astounded at how quiet it is, especially compared to my old Black & Decker food processor.
I'm happy to have the two different lids. I rarely use the feed chute so it's handy to have the low-profile lid, yet I'm happy to have the other when it's needed.
One caveat: While my old B&D was also a 7-cup model, the design of the bowl meant that I could fill it fairly full with no problem. However, because the center post of the Cuisinart is so low, anything very liquid-y will leak through, as it does whenever I make my salsa. Seems to me that 7 cups should mean 7 cups.
On the other hand, the whole machine is comfortingly heavy and stable, meaning it doesn't have a tendency to bounce around the countertop when working, even if the load becomes a bit unbalanced.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I look forward to many years of service.
| |  | I got this model for a wedding shower gift in 1983!
It is now 25 years later, & I am still using it & it never had to be repaired, unbelievable!
And, the blades are still sharp. Mine came with a book ;)
Works like a charm!
