I have this model, and I'm sorry I didn't heed the advice of others. Though it's NOT BAD for the price, it is loud and a bit on the cheap/flimsy side. You can't put anything too hard in it, i.e.; carrots. It's not ment to be used like a medeocre grade food processor. Mine smells like it's going to combust into flames if I try to do too much with it--like shreading too many veggies. It IS cute, and does work well for marinates and sauces, but beyond that, buyer BEWARE, or just fork over dinero for something of a higher grade.

so a fast recap here. Arrived in perfect shape. Works perfect so far. Will give it one heck of a work out thanksgiving holiday. I am very happy so far with my purchase. And a really fast delivery.

This is the second reconditioned item I have bought. Both came in brand new shape and performed flawlessly. I think from now on I will hunt for the factory reconditioned appliances. What a marvelous bargain they both have been.


Thanksgiving has come and gone and my little duet had a good little workout. It is not perfect. When using the shredder there were invariabley a few chunked non shredded pieces, but that was the only fault I could find with this. I am very happy so far with the function of this little appliance. Now if it will last a few years I will be a happy granny type person.

I've only used this to chop up some vegetables, make salsa, and make milkshakes so far. Each time though its been easy to clean, chopped or blended extremely well, and looks great on the counter.
I'm extremely happy with this purchase as a cook and someone who loves gadgets.

I love it. Was a little concerned that it didn't have as many buttons as my last one but it hasn't been a problem. I got it to make smoothies that blend for 5 min (in order to froth up and be more filling) and after 5 min it does get a little warm but so far so good.

The product is great. The noise level on the machine is a bit loud for a blender, and I thought that was due to it being a reconditioned model. However, a family member also has one that was purchased brand new, and she says hers is very loud as well.

The service was great, too. I received the item in the time stated and it was in good condition and packed well.

This is my second Cuisinart Duet. My first one, a piece of the plastic that locks the processor bowl to the platform broke off after about three uses. I figured I must have done something wrong, so I returned it and bought another one. Same thing happened to the second one. Food Processor still works, but I have to hold on tight to keep it in locked position. It's not great at chopping either, even before it broke. My small $25 chopper works just as well, if not better.
The blender portion of it won't even puree frozen strawberries. As another reviewer mentioned, yes it is cute and I love the dual function, but if it's not going to serve its full intended purpose, why buy it? Buy beware!

The blade assembly of this blender has manufacturing defect. After sometime of usage, it will start jamming up and you will need to buy another blade assembly. I have personally replaced about 4 blades to learn the hard way that the blender has this manufacturing defect. If you don't trust me, try it for yourself and you will surely regret buying this blender.

My husband loves it but I wish the food processor part of this machine were bigger. Its fine for the two of us but if you were to have a family you'd want one that is bigger. It seems to make really good shakes - so my husband says, and it chops things like cabbage and carrots pretty well.

i have never had a food processor before I bought the Cuisinart Smart power food processor/blender. Oh my it makes prep work so much easier, and slicing/shredded is no big deal. it's just perfect for my family and i really do enjoy it. If i could i would give it a 10 star rating! And i wasn't certain on the factory-reconditioned but I haven't had any problems and it does give u a 3 month warrenty on it. it looks new and no problems, it sounds like a C1-30 taking off! lol anyway love it!

I Don't think I can spell "Cheff", I had a smaller food chopper, but never an actual food processor. My best friend Bob asked me which Pentium Chip it had. Anyway all jokes aside, I am very happy with the unit and it's performance, have already made some supiorer meils, snakes and srpeads with it. I don't thimk I will make master cheff of the month, but the unit makes food prep a simpler chore now.

Thank you very much and I WILL be doing business with this seller again.

Sincerly,
