Cuisinart DFP-11 Deluxe 11 Cups Food Processor

Pros: Quiet, easy to use, long cord, dishwasher safe parts.
Cons: high price if bought retail.

Let me say that I have had three very cheap, very useless food processors in the past. I know these machines, and you can love them or hate them. I hated them. One of my aunts had bought me a beautiful, shiny 10 - cup food processor that was very ...

Pros: Great power and design for all your processor needs, easy, safe
Cons: weird feed tube; in between size

I LOVE my Cuisinart. I've had it for about 3 years now. For me, it's a must have - I couldn't make many of my recipes without it.

The Good:

1) It has handled every chopping, mixing, pureeing, grating, and slicing project I have...

Pros: Suddenly slicing and dicing are fun
Cons: "When are you going to make another strawberry-rhubarb pie?"

This user-friendly food processor can transform the sorriest excuse for a cook into Martha Stewart with the push of a button. Open the helpful instruction/recipe book to a recipe that sounds good (of which there are many) and you're on your way. Get...

Pros: Grates soft cheese and kneads bread
Cons: About 5 parts to wash.

This processor is so versatile that we use it for not only cutting and grating vegetables but also for making bread and grating cheese!

1 - It grates cheese!
- Many of food processors don’t work very well on various types of soft...

Pros: Strong, reliable motor. Versatile beyond your wildest dreams.
Cons: Fragile locking mechanism in lid.

Food Processor - such a sterile phrase for such a versatile machine. This is my second Cuisinart as my first was destroyed in the Santa Cruz earthquake - so if you buy another one, then that is already a great recommendation in and of itself.

...

Pros: the best and easiest processor
Cons: none

I had been given two food processors previously but never used them because they seemed complicated and difficult to use. I was a little scared to actually use them. Then a friend recommended I try the Cuisinart DLC-5 model. I found it on sale and...

Pros: Size
Cons: Need counter space to store

I can't live without my Cuisinart. My mom has had one for 10 years now and I recently got married and it was the first thing on my registry. This item is a must in every kitchen. It does jobs of all sizes from grinding garlic to making pasta...

Pros: ease of use
Cons: BLADE STORAGE

I really, really hate to cut and dice things. That is why I really never cooked and my poor husband never ate homecooked meals. When I purchased the Cuinsart all that changed.
I thought that the instructions with the product were poor, but once...

Pros: Very sturdy, well made machine.  Incredibly versitile and fun to use!
Cons: Cord storage only on newer models.  Very heavy.  I envy those with appliance garages! 

Prior to purchasing a Cuisinart food processor, I owned a different brand that I had to toss when the motor died after approximately two years of use.

I decided to purchase a Cuisinart after reading some very positive reviews on Epinions.   Initially I was concerned that I may have chosen too large of a unit (I bought the 11-cup model), but even with a small family, the size is perfect for my needs!

I use my food processor at least 3 times a week for things like making salsa, homemade pizza dough, pesto and other sauces, cake frostings, chopping veggies & nuts, grating cheese, etc.   

Not long after I bought my Cuisinart, our local cooking store offered a Cuisinart Food Processor cooking class which was great!    The instructor made several hors d'oeuvres and desserts from a Cusinart cookbook and I was blown away at how versitile the machine is!  

I've had my Cuisinart for two years now and it gets some serious use.    I haven't encountered any mechanical problems yet, but if it ever meets the same fate as my prior food processor, I'll definitely be replacing it.       I use it far too often to live without one!   :o)
