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 Custom food processor comes with a 14-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 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

Customer Reviews

Couldn't be more pleased
We bought this last week and happily cooked a week's worth of meals with it this weekend. I love how quiet it is! I shredded some onions while my honey was asleep, and not a peep from him. It just purred like a cat.

It is quite powerful, and buzzed right through the vegetables like a champ.

The safety features are absolutely necessary; you could practically fit your entire arm in the chute if it didn't stop when you remove the pusher from the feeder chute. Once you learn how to put it together, it makes sense, and I haven't had any problem with it.

The only thing I would add to it is a small work bowl, like the kind that comes with another one we were looking at. Otherwise, a very good food processor.

Never worked
I received this as a wedding gift and was very excited about it. I promptly opened it to make something, but could never get it to work. I've had food processors before, so I know everything has to be locked just so for it to function. I'm sure this one was set up correctly, but it would not operate. Since it has zero user feedback, I couldn't even tell if the unit was getting power (but I tried different outlets that I know work). I'm returning it in favor of a KitchenAid. Between this food processor and the crappy Cuisinart coffeemaker (the grind and brew one) that I just got rid of, I'm done with this brand.

HIDEOUS! Best ad possible for Kitchen Aid!
This thing STINKS! It takes forever to get the %^^^%$ thing to work. Unlike normal food processors, it is not a simple matter of clicking everything in place ... everything has to be aligned "just so" (and, if not, the machine freezes for five minutes before you can even try again) - but neither the booklet, box, nor DVD acknowledge this, and swiftly skim over assembly. Yuck! Buy a Kitchen Aid and forget about this huge, expensive doorstop.

Cuisinart food processors used to be awesome, and I never even considered trying another brand until I bought this atrocity. I would NEVER buy Cuisinart again!
