A Cuisinart Disappointment, November 2, 2007
This review is from: Cuisinart HFP-300 PrepExpress 220-Watt Handheld Electric Food Processor, White and Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I am a long-standing Cusinart food processor fan for 25 plus years. I couldn't imagine my kitchen without it. So when I discovered this product, I was sure that this would be a time-efficient way to quickly chop an onion without having to use my big Cuisinart food processor. I was confident that it would uphold Cuisinart standards for food processing. NOT THE CASE. Chopping/slicing peppers or onions was completely impossible. Very little came out of the chute as most of the vegetables were turned into a mushy pureed substance trapped between the blade and the round housing. In addition, as soon as the motor is turned on, a burnt odor is emitted leading me to think that the motor is burning out. I do not recommend this product to anyone and I am shocked that Cuisinart would put their name on this piece of junk!

Cuisinart HFP-300, April 11, 2007
This review is from: Cuisinart HFP-300 PrepExpress 220-Watt Handheld Electric Food Processor, White and Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
Too much food remains in the part that does not detach. I shred carrots for my husband and I loose a good bit of the carrots that are left in the machine. The space between the cutter and the casing is where the carrots gather.
The cord also does not retract easily. I have to actually push it back into the machine.

POORLY DESIGNED IN EVERY WAY, May 28, 2007
This review is from: Cuisinart HFP-300 PrepExpress 220-Watt Handheld Electric Food Processor, White and Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I was very excited to get this small kitchen appliance as I thought it would make the process of shredding and grating produce much quicker. This gadget is poorly designed in every way. For starters, the spout is too low for most bowls. No mixing bowl that I have fits underneath. Second, the angle of the spout is not sharp enough. I have to constantly cut the power to reach my hand inside and pull out processed vegetables. If the angle were, sharper, gravity would probably take care of this. Third, the motor is very weak. With just a few carrots placed in the top, the motor starts slowing down. There is a consistent light burning smell from the unit when the motor slows down. Fourth, food constantly gets caught between the removable metal grating/shredding cylinders and the inside of the unit. I am only able to process a few vegetables before I have to cut off the power, open the unit and wash out all of the produce that is stuck inside. Cleaning the removable parts is easy, but food also gets stuck in crevices on the base unit which is very difficult to remove. I am not at all happy with this unit and would recommend that you look elsewhere for a shredding/grating appliance.
