Fantastic purchace. It’s larger than i visioned. The extra storage container of accessories is bulky to store but awesome and convenient. I used it mothers day for the first time and felt justfied with my purchase. It works better that I expected. Did i need a fancy processor? No. Will i use it more now that I’m comfortable with it? Yes. I hope it continues to please me and be a staple in my kitchen.

Love the food processor. The dicing feature really works well, unlike machines that cost even more.

I don’t leave many review but ……This is a fantastic machine, I LOVE it and use it several times a week. I especially like the dicing option and make dressings in it every week. The dicing blade is very hard to clean but because it’s so awesome, I am ok with the trade off. It works great for cauliflower rice, sweet potatoes, carrots etc. I also purchased the spiralizer and it’s awesome. I’ve even made spiralized beets! They are so great mixed with the diced cauliflower rice. This machine will not make diced tomatoes, no matter what the advertising says. It destroys the tomatoe, but who cares, I have resorted to zipping, garlic, cilantro, tomatoes, a can of roasted tomatoes, jalepanos, onion, salt and pepper and it’s perfect. The only MAJOR complaint I have about this machine is that the gasket that is around the lid is NOT replaceable and I have not found an aftermarket gasket yet. A few days after I got the machine the gasket snapped and I called Cuisinart, and the only way to replace the gasket is to replace the lid. Luckily they warranted it for me and sent a new one. Here is a hint: if this happens to you, the lid that comes with the dicing blade is much less expensive, buy this lid and use the gasket. EVEN with this issue, the machine is amazing and I can live with this. I’ve learned to be very careful with the lids and blades and clean immediately and not to stack in an attempt to protect them from damage.

El aparato es todo lo que promete, pica, ralla, rebana y tritura. El dÃa de la entrega usé todos los aditamentos para ver su funcionamiento y todo trabajó perfecto, hice mantequilla de cacahuate en tres minutos o menos. Los cuadritos se hicieron en segundos. Muy contenta con el aparato. lo único que no me gustó es que se requiere de mucho espacio para guardarlo. También tengan cuidado con las navajas, son extremadamente filosas

This is my first food processor. I mainly bought it for the dicer. We love adding roasted, diced potatoes to many of our dishes, but I got tired of cutting them by hand every day. The dicer is a godsend.
Pros:
1. Dicer works as well as I’d hoped on potatoes.
2. I’ve used the slicer on peppers, the grater on carrots, and the dough blade to make pie, and they all work quite well.
3. As long as the parts are rinsed immediately after use, clean up is easy enough.
Cons:
1. If you forget to rinse the parts immediately after use, cleaning up the many grooves can be a pain
2. Too many parts. I use up 4 linear feet of counter space just to let the bowl, lid and dicer parts dry after use. Not for small kitchens.
3. Too many parts. Takes a lot of storage room. I wish there was a single storage box for all the accessories.
4. The bowl, lid, etc. have metal pins and springs as part of the safety mechanism, but this rules out ever throwing them into the dishwasher.
5. The pusher assembly has 3 nested pushers (again, too many parts). This is overkill and leaves too many nooks for food to get caught in. Worse, there is no way to lock in the middle pusher and it keeps sliding off the lid. The middle pusher and the small pusher inside it are already cracked on mine within a dozen uses. A replacement pusher mechanism can be ordered from cuisinart ($25 incl. shipping).
6. There is a smaller bowl that nests inside the larger bowl, and which seems to serve no purpose whatsoever other than to take up counter space when you have to set it aside to use the larger bowl. Most of the accessories aren’t even compatible with this smaller bowl. Yet again, too many parts.
Overall, in less than a month, this food processor has already saved me several hours. It’s a keeper for sure. It’s just not for small kitchens.

This is a great food processor.
We’ve mostly used it for grating cheese, parmesan for pasta and mozzarella for pizza, and it does a great job.
My only complaint is that it takes a long time to air-dry.
I prefer washing our dishes in the sink rather than the dishwasher, it’s just faster.
But there are little nooks, crannies and chambers that water will get into that you cannot get a cloth into to dry them out.
So I just wash it, hand dry it the best that I can and then leave it in the drying rack overnight.
By morning, most of the water has evaporated.

The dicing kit works!
I have KitchenAid KFP1642OB Onyx Black Pro Line 16-cup Food Processor, it has dicing kit also, but it was driving me crazy. It is huge, and heavy, and all accessories and the storage bin were huge, and worst thing – the dicing kit was huge pain to use because it has very weird system where it has to be locked inside, and it has very tight fit and very hard to use. I bought it for dicing kit, and was so frustrated about it. Also if I tried to dice something which is too soft, the processor would mush it and send the mush into the center shaft all the way down to the gears. It was pain to clean, and eventually food residue made it impossible to adjust the thickness of the cut for their adjustable slicing blade.
Now, Cuisinart made their own food processor with dicing. Yay. I just had to try it, and I am glad I did. First of all, it is much smaller and lighter, it fits under cabinets (you will still have to pull it out to use it, but it is so much easier to move). The light weight does concern me some, as well as it having all plastic gears, but we will see. The dicing kit is very easy to use, I do not have to lock anything – just drop pieces in place in the correct order, and you ready to go. Removing it is as easy. Unlike Kitchenaid, Cuisinart dicing kit does not get stuck if potatoes are unpeeled. Nor does it make a total mess out of boiled potatoes – those do not come out as perfect as raw potatoes do, but it makes excellent potato salad with very little waste – some of the potatoes do mush and spread over the blade and the shaft, but it is nothing compared to Kitchenaid, where you get 95% mush.
To make dicing work, you need to push on the food down, it would not dice under its own weight. That means that the very last slice will no be cut through completely, and will have to be pushed down with the dicer cleaning tool. Overall the dicing kit works, and works much better than the other one, and really worth it for me.
Other things I like – the main processing bowl is sealed both in the middle and around the top – you can process runny batter or soup or whatever you want and there will be no mess outside the bowl. That sealed design means that there is one more gear set – from the base to the bowl, and from the bowl to the middle stem adapter and then to the rotating blade. The slicing blade is adjustable, the adjustment is on the blade itself, not on the outside of the unit as with Kitchenaid. All of the blades have hefty plastic insert indie and easy to grab by it, so they are much safer to handle. I was surprised that when Cuisinart is turned off, it does not stop right away – my old Cuisinart has brakes to stop it immediately.. Kitchenaid continues to spin some after turning off, too, so no dice here.
