I purchased this hoping to make homemade french fries and sweet potato fries. I used it immediately but was slightly disappointed in how thin the potatoes came out. I was expecting the fries to be more like a crinkle cut thickness and this was more of a shoestring size. I personally feel the discs should be cheaper or more of them included in the original purchase of your Cuisinart as they are pricey. I have the 14 cup model and the discs are all very expensive, especially when you realize that they don't quite meet up to what you expected, therefore, you are less apt to use it. I would consider this more of a julienne cut rather than a french fry cut.

This disc quickly whipped out shoestring fries. Works great. I'd also like to have a disc that made slightly larger fries too though.

Disc cutter works on vegetables well, but I would like to have a larger, possibly an 8by8mm, opening for larger french fries.

I use a lot of matchsticks or julienne strips of veggies in my living food recipes, especially for nori rolls, veggie wraps, salads, Thai-style entrees, etc. I was very excited about this Cuisinart 6-by-6mm Fruit, Vegetable and French Fry Disc, fits 14-Cup Processor and quickly purchased it as an extra accessory for my new Cuisinart DLC-2014N PowerPrep Plus 14-Cup Capacity Food Processor, White. Like all the Cuisinart accessories for the 14 cup food processors, it is spendy and was a bit of a strain on my budget but I knew I would put it to frequent use so I considered it a good investment.

I put the disc right to work as soon as I received it, julienning assorted vegetables to fill my nori rolls. Although the disc performed very well for the softer veggies ~ the cucumber and zucchini ~ turning out a really nice, clean, square julienne cut that didn't mush up, the results for the harder carrot and daikon radish were less than satisfactory.

Maybe I haven't gotten the knack of the technique yet and need to practice with the disc a little more but processing the carrots and daikon was very disappointing. The parts of the veggies that actually got cut turned out beautifully but it seemed like my machine had to labor too hard to make the cut, noisily rocking and shaking across the kitchen counter-top. Furthermore a lot of the veggies got jammed in the holes causing a sizable portion of the remaining veggie not to be able to pass through the blade, leaving a lot of large, frayed and mangled chunks. I chopped up the rejected pieces so I had no waste but still I was very disappointed with the overall performance.

Based on the other reviewers' favorable comments about using the disc for shoestring cuts for potatoes, I'm not going to give up on it yet but still I'm wondering if I can really recommend it, therefore I must give it the ambivalent 3 stars.

This is what I call "the salsa maker" just drop all your veggies in the shoot, makes PERFECT salsa!

This doesn't fit the 14 cups Cuisinart Elite Collection Food Processor. So, why are they sayig that it fits 14 cup processors it is a puzzle to me. I am not saying that they are not saying the truth, but it sure DOESN'T fit my brand new, ultimate, 14 cup processor, which I purchased together with this blade. So, be aware of this fact and save you time and frustration. Amazon didn't honnor the misrepresantation and, as a result, i ended up paying full shipping costs for receiving and sending back this product. Unfair? You bet!

Very useful add-on disc. Indispensable for zucchini, squash, carrots, and potatoes (hash browns). Works best if veggies cubed beforehand. Slices too small to make traditional french-fries, so "French Fry Disc" is a bit of a misnomer.

I was very impressed by this product, FrenchFry Disc.
My family and I love french fries and have them quite often, at least 3-4 times a week. I have artritis in my right thumb so slicing is sometimes painful. With this disc they are done in seconds. In fact my Grandson say to wait until he is here to cut them, He is amazed at the speed. The only drawback I see is I would like to see a bigger cut than 6mm.
Also the time between ordering and recieving was fast and surprising.

Part of my problem was my expectation. I imagined nice fat fresh fries that I could make preservative-free, but instead, I got these tiny matchsticks of potato that weren't as small as a hashbrown, but were more similar to them than a French fry. I think if they had been slightly thicker, it would have worked better. Also, use large hard potatoes cut into cuisinart sized wedges for best results. If you want fat matchsticks, this is perfect for you. I have no complaints re construction or honesty of the claims that this makes ff, just that the picture in my head of what would come out was wrong.

excellent addition to cuisinart food processor system! my wife loves it already, and it just adds to the abilities of the cuisinart system, so it gets used even more than it did before, which is great for our family of 7!Cuisinart DLC-836 6-by-6mm Fruit, Vegetable and French Fry Disc Fits 7 and 11-Cup Processors
