Love this processor.  I can load whole apples into the hopper.  Not much cutting needed to make things fit.  I don't use it to make bread dough as suggested in the manual.  It's just not powerful enough.  For standard pie dough or cake batters, it's great.  Good for slicing, chopping and grating. ... review »

I have had the Cuisinart DLC since it was first released into production.  I use it for larger jobs and specific recipes where the amount of chopping, shredding, or slicing is greater than I want to accomplish by hand, or when I do not have the time to perform that amount of chopping, shredding or...

I love everything that Cuisinart makes, I have their pans and food processors the most.  They are really expensive but well worth it.  It can handle large quantities and can even knead bread dough.  It sometimes makes some scary noises when you are making dough but it powers through everything.  I use mine for making pesto, tart dough and everything else.  It chops vegetables beautifully and purees like a dream.  I definitely think this is an investment piece.  If you like to cook this is a must-have.  I can't imagine not having this gadget in my kitchen.  I use it for so many things and...

I resist buying single-purpose kitchen gadgets, so for years I chopped, diced, and sliced by hand. Finally I bought my Cuisinart, realized that it has many uses, and have never looked back.

The processor comes with three commonly used blades, a recipe book, and a video that demonstrates use of each blade and some of the recipes. Slice a cucumber faster than you can say the word. Blend spreads and create other appetizers quickly. The only part that you can't put in the dishwasher is the motor!

 I rate the processor as a 4 rather than a 5 only because extra blades (julienne, for example) can be...

The Cuisinart food processor bowl can easily tackle my largest projects, yet chops garlic so fine you can't find it in the dish you just added it to!  I

t is easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning, except for the top part that slides up and down.  It gets stuff caught between the inner and outer sleeve and it is hard to get out.  It should be made so it can be completely disassembled for cleaning.

It was so easy to put together and use right out of the box (after washing, of course) and I didn't have to look at a lot of tiny little pictures showing how to put it together.  The video was...

The Cuisinart DLC -*S Pro Custom 11 cup food processor is fabulous!  I've had mine for over 6 months now and cannot believe I've gone this long without it!  I use it to make doughs, shred cheeses, chop, slice, etc.  All the attachments make is very versitile!  Great product and worth the money!  Very sturdy too!

I love the Cuisinart Food Processor so much that I am getting one for my daughter for Christmas. It is so easy to use. Making a pie crust is great and it turns out  better than using my Kitchenaide mixer.

I was given a Cuisinart Food processor two and a half years ago as a gift when I got married, and at the time I didn't think I would use it that much.  Boy was I wrong!!  I use it all the time and for a variety of things.  First off let me tell you what it comes with.  It has the motor base, a bowl, dough blade, mixing/chopping blade, shredder disk, slicing disc, pusher tube, spatula, manual and a VHS tape telling you how to use your food processor.  Of all the items that it came with the only thing I have not used is the VHS tape (because I don't have a VCR).

The cuisinart food processor was one of the nices food processor i every used.  I didnt have a problem with chopping up vegetables for my soup. It dice the vegetables up nice size, not too big and not too small it was just right.  I loved useing it and it was also easy to use. i also used the cuisinart food processor for making powder suger from normal suger.  The cuisinart food processor chopped up the suger to powder, so i could put it on top of my funnel cake. If you what to mix different types of spieces together the cuisinart food processor blend them better then i thought it would.  You... review »

Cuisinart food processors are fabulous kitchen work horses.  From grating cheese to chopping vegetables, this work saving device can save hours in preparation time around the kitchen.  Additional attachments such as a juicer and past maker increase the flexibility of the machine.
