I bought this from Macys last Spring and not Amazon because I had a coupon and got it on a deal.It was my retirement present to myself.

I've used this extensively since mostly chopping veggies from the garden and making salsa, chopped tomatoes to freeze, etc. I used the slicing disc once to try it and it worked well.

If I had any complaint it would be its too efficient. At first I could turn about anything including onions, liquid. I had to learn to keep an eye on the material and my hand off that pulse button. Its doesn't take much to chop about anything down to nothing. Easy does it.

I recently tried it to make meatballs by putting pork sausage and burger in the bowl with other ingrediants and it worked great. I'll never do them by hand again.

I've used the chopping blade (not the grating blade) to grate hardened cheeses like Parmeson and Locatelli and it again worked great. I'm sure the grating discs would have done a little better job but I like my grated cheese a little larger in size rather than powdery texture.

It cleans up easily and bowl and lids snap together with ease.

Note/s: With any processor you need to make sure that whatever you're putting into the bowl goes in approximately the same size: quarters of onions, halfs of tomatoes, etc. Otherwise things get chopped in un-even sizes.

I have a small family and a small garden. You may want to look at a bigger size if you need to do a lot of canning and feed large number of people. This size worked for me.

Best product for the price.
The food processor was very easy to use as well as easy to clean up! We feel like we made a great purchase.
Pros: Very strong 600 watt electric motor, Easy to use, Durable.
Cons: May not be large enough for family cooking

The food processor works wonderful and does everything it is supposed to do. However, it isn't 'chrome' like the description says it is. There is an actual chrome version but it is not this model - it is the larger model. This one is just plastic, painted a gray color to look like chrome. A little disappointing.

I have used this food processor every day since I got it & it has been working perfectly! It is so useful & helps keep me staying healthy by enticing me to create my own unique dishes. It's also a good size for me; I had a smaller one and burnt out the motor on the first day using it when trying to blend nuts and dates, but this one can handle any task I give it.

As you can tell, I am a very happy customer, and would recommend this particular food processor to anyone looking for something of good quality. I think it is an excellent value for the price ;)

I love this food processor! It works well, is easy to clean, and runs pretty quietly (certainly less noisy than my blender).

I love how simple it is to operate and clean up. I use it all the time and even with the clean up, the speed of the task makes it much more efficient than chopping most things by hand.

I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

This machine is very easy to work, and nas none of the annoying "safety features" of much more expensive machines. I highly recommend it for the busy cook who needs a solid, basic machine that does everything a food processor needs to do. No more, no less.

What can I say: My Cuisinart 7-cup is a kitchen WORKHORSE!

I've owned it over 3 years, and it just keeps taking what I dish out at it. I wish this thing would just finally give out, because I want to upgrade, and so I keep throwing more and more stuff at it, but nope! It will not die. I've even tried to make double quantities of pizza dough, filling it up with 6 cups of flour, just to kill the motor (because I want to buy the new one and need an excuse). It just keeps right on going and going and going and...

So, this is a great first-time user model, or a fine replacement. 7 cups is a good size for the typical kitchen. The footprint is small, and the processor is simple and basic. It comes with 2 discs (shredder and slicer), and the main blade. This is all you really need, if I can be honest. You can do, pretty much everything a food processor needs to do in the kitchen, with these basic attachments: Shred, slice, puree, mix, blend, chop, knead, etc., etc...

For me, after 3 years of use, the bowl is still chip-free, the motor is tough, the blades are rust-free. The unit cleans up easy, it is all dishwasher safe, and I have had absolutely no problems or complaints at all.

This was the workhorse model about 3 years ago, and I think you can probably find the revamped 7 cup model, with the larger feed-tube, here online, for a competitive price. Because of price, and the fact that this model is not chrome in fact, but is instead more like brushed silver, I give it 4 stars. Check that out and shop comparable 7 cup models. DO feel comfortable sticking with Cuisinart, however. You need go no further then the big "C", for all your basic food processing needs.

I still use my 20 year old cuisinart work horse, and recently bought my daughter her first one for Xmas. I thought I'd spare her the one or two cheaper processors you always buy to "save money" which end up broken, leaking, dull blades, cracked work bowl, etc. This way-she can learn on the one that actally performs-and lasts.
20 years and counting.....

This little 7 cup food processor is perfect for food preparation for my husband and myself. I cook a lot for family and friends. The size is perfect and it is a very strong motor and I am sure to enjoy for years to come. The only thing that I would like is if cuisinart model had a blade holder but I am yet to find one.

The item of reference, Cuisinart DLC5BC works just fine but one strong fact which drove me to purchase is the Statement on the Product's Box which tells it has a "full ten year warranty on motor". I've asked Macy's Customer Service pertaining this, they then called Cuisinart and finally answered it would be a printing error on the box and then, while asking further, the efficient people at macy's Customer Service told that Cuisinart tells that if the food processor's cabinet is square it has a Five Year Motor Warranty (WHAT a COINCIDENCE !!!)I'VE JUST DISCOVERED AMERICA !!! ...cause the product's cabinet is square. I think this kind of excuse is as big as the hook behind the warranty stated in the box. I understand that 10 year warranty should be honored in writting & without delay.
