Amazon.com Review
Two powerful kitchen appliances have been brought together in this blender/food processor by Cuisinart. The heavy-duty motor base is up to both blending and processing tasks, and won't "walk" on the counter, even when it's crushing ice. Use the blender with its dripless pour spout to make and serve 40 ounces of frozen drinks or to purée baby foods or soups; use the processor to prep up to 3 cups of vegetables, cheeses, nuts, and meats. With one motor base, it's simple to keep the blender out on the counter and then bring out the processor attachment for special tasks.

This is an amazingly sturdy product, with tight fitting lids, a heavy glass blender jar, and a motor that chops meats or ice with equal aplomb. Most attachments go in the dishwasher, and the flat touch pad, which has seven settings, including "ice crush" and "pulse," is easily wiped down with a sponge. The dual appliance comes with a booklet detailing how to use all the features, and 48 recipes, from cranberry-orange mimosas to classic mayonnaise. --Maria Dolan

Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who returns the appliance to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bachelor buys a blender, August 20, 2001

By	P. Jene "pgj111" (Bay Area, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Despite the nay-saying of my girlfriend on the likely quality of a two-in-one appliance that was reconditioned to boot, I recently bought the cuisinart BFP-703FR combination blender/food. It has been a pleasant surprise.

First off there was no discenable wear and tear on the unit that arrived. My girlfriend's first attempt to demolish it with heavy on the ice fruit smoothies was rewarded with you guessed it, high quality fruit smoothies. Reassuringly the base had no tendency to "walk" across the counter during the blending process. The food processor is easy to swap onto the base, and performed equally well. Guys, buy one of these and you too can tell your girlfriend "I told you so!"

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Value for the Price, December 7, 2001

By A Customer

I purchased the duet simply out of curiosity. I currently own similar Kitchen Aid products, which I love, but the one-year total replacement warranty is almost up, so I figured I'd buy a back-up. The Cuisinart blender is much louder, and hits that high-pitched, "I'm gonna smoke if you don't shut me off NOW" pitch far quicker than does the Kitchen Aid. I was blending a very heavy-iced adult drink, and was not comfortable continuing on to a completely smooth-blended drink. After removing the ice chunks from the top, however, the remainder was perfectly smooth. The food processor made mince-meat of an onion in no time flat, and was both easy to use and easy to clean. There were no instructions or any paperwork at all included with the unit, which might have been helpful in using the appliance properly, but for just winging it, it handled both jobs quite well, and for a very reasonable price.

4.0 out of 5 stars don't let all the five stars fool you..., November 29, 2001

By	"young_dad_says" (Honolulu, Hawaii United States) - See all my reviews

1. nice looking unit. easy to put together.
2. easy to clean up and get started.
3. good blender, average processor
4. you can't put too much in the processor. 2 carrots at a time at most.
5. slight rubber burning smell after 10 plus second use.
6. processor limited use!!!

but for this price...not bad....if you want the real deal, pay the few hundred bucks.
