Nice improvement over DLC-7E but cord too short
4 out of 5 stars
Nice improvement over DLC-7E but cord too short
I bought this 14-cup processor to replace my 35+ year old DLC-7E. It died when the plastic bowl broke from plastic fatigue. There have been several improvements over the decades. The large diameter feed tube system is now fed from the top. Rather than the side and can handle a 1 pound potato. The safety interlock system is much improved as well. The large tube feeder plunger has a hefty “pin” at the back which is inserted into the interlock. This limits the height to about 3”, not a negative but something of which to be aware. On the not great side the power cord is a mere 27” as compared to my old unit length of 62”. Note to Cuisanart accountants: the $5 saved by shortening the power cord saves nothing on a $250 unit. Note to Cuisanart engineers: test your design in a real kitchen before finalizing it. 27” is slightly (3”) longer than the distance from the splash board to the edge of the countertop. This severely limits where the food processor can be safely used. Particularly when the electrical outlet is not optimally situated. Your customers now need an extension cord, not a safe situation in a kitchen. 






Lastly be aware parts are expensive. A replacement blade or a new shredding disk are $60 apiece, each 25% of the original purchase price. Yikes!

This food processor is amazing! Simple to operate, easy to clean, small footprint, and powerful. Fast, even chop and shred – makes prep work so easy. I finally stopped wasting money on less expensive units that I had to continually replace or that would not do the job. Sincerely wish I had just purchased this one to begin with.

Color: NavySize: 14-CupPattern Name: Food ProcessorVerified Purchase
This is a very sturdy, very powerful and very quiet food processor. I think it’s the third food processor I’ve owned. I am enjoying the larger bowl size for sure.
So far I have used it to make pico de gallo and shredded cabbage for coleslaw and cut onions for hotdogs. It did a great job for all of it. I used the chopping blade for the pico de Gallo and the onions. And I used the shredding disk attachment for the cabbage for the slaw.
At first, I couldn’t get it to turn on, ☺️ but, that’s because I had the feeder tube too full for the metal spine on the back of the pusher to completely engage the safety feature.
The biggest drawback I see is the way the safety feature on the lid is designed. The safety mechanism is sort of open but at the same time closed if that makes any sense. It’s open enough for stuff to get in there and closed enough for you to have a hard time getting food particles out. You may want to just check and be sure that there’s no food particles On the metal safety spine on the food pusher that you’ll push down into the safety channel on the lid. Otherwise, you will play the game of rinsing and turning it upside down and swishing it/ flipping while holding the white thingy open until you can get the food particle to come out of it. There may be a trick to this I haven’t figured out yet. So far, I really like this processor, And, the prices for extra attachments on the Cuisinart website are very, very competitive with free shipping.

"Oh, I don't need a food processor. I love to chop things by hand! And really, my cheap, tiny blender does just about any job a food processor could do. It's not worth the money!" This has been my mantra for years.

Oh, what a fool I was. What a fool!

A food processor is such a magical device. You can do things with it that are impossible to do without it!

Have you heard of cashew cream sauce? It's fabulous. You soak about two cups of cashews in water for 2 hours, drain and rinse them well, and then toss them in your food processor with a clove or two of peeled garlic, about 2/3 cup of water, and about a teaspoon or so of salt, to taste. Press the power on, and in seconds, you have smooth-bodied, flavourful dip that is extremely versatile. From there, it's all up to your imagination! Add some nutritional yeast to make it taste nice and cheesy, with just a pinch of paprika to bring out those cheesy notes, and serve it with tortilla chips. Or how about a bit of curry powder and some basil to serve with pita chips as a sweet, curry-style dip? Or perhaps you'll use some herbs and pour it over pasta, for a new twist on "lazy pasta night"?

Maybe you're no fan of that idea. Well then, how about making pesto right in your own home? Those tiny bottles in the grocery are never as good as the stuff as you can get in a nice restaurant, and they can be damned pricey for such mediocre flavour. Make it yourself, and be amazed!

Or what about hummus? You can use a method by Kenji Lopez-Alt over at SeriousEats to make tahini sauce with garlic and lemon that makes for a FANTASTIC base for the best hummus of your life (made with, I suggest, the best on the market, and available also here on Amazon: Soom Foods Pure Ground Sesame Tahini 11oz (2 Pack))! Sabra has got NOTHING on homemade hummus.

There's also the sheer joy of buying nuts in bulk, knowing that you're saving quite a bit of money tossing them into your food processor to get chopped rather than buying them pre-chopped. Or you can quickly chop toppings for a salad. There's a lot of chopping this thing can handle that you might not care to handle yourself!

Or, how about this: the best homemade ice cream you've ever had? It's simple; make your custard-style base (I recommend Jeni Britton Bauer's method, Google it or pick up her book here: Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home), freeze it overnight in a big gallon freezer bag laid out flat, and the next day, break it into pieces to throw into your food processor. Then you can whip it to a gorgeous creamy state, add in some flavourings, pour into an ice cream container, and freeze; voila! The best homemade ice cream you've EVER had - guaranteed better than storebought, that's for sure, and a lot healthier, since you're in total control of what goes in it. :)

And I'm sure before I even began to write this review, you had your own ideas. Nut butters? Certainly! How about dough? It can do it! Grating cheese? Well, I prefer an old-fashioned box grater, but if you're tired of washing that ol' beast, absolutely, go for one of these! There's just so many wonderful things you can do with this gorgeous machine; and it's outrageously simple to handle. I've seen a great many food processors in family homes; they're awkward, they're cumbersome, and they're very noisy. This isn't whisper-silent, but I can safely use it all hours of the night without losing a finger or waking my sleeping household.

Now, I must confess I've had precisely one point of frustration with it since I bought it: I opened it up, threw in an ingredient, put the top back on, hit the "ON" button, and.. nothing. I was dumbfounded. Why isn't this brand new machine working?

Turns out, it was a safety feature! I hadn't secured the top, so it didn't come on. And thank goodness! I would've had a big mess on my hands. Knowing that it will simply not turn on if I don't have the top fastened on correctly is a comfort to me; I can get to work and not worry about double-checking that I've put everything back in place just so, and I can trust little ones to put things into it without worrying that they'll get over-excited to turn it on and send ingredients flying around my kitchen! And it's so simple to put together and take apart once you take a few minutes to handle it first-hand.

This is a wonderful machine to aid the home cook, and I believe if you've made it this far in my review, you know I'm right. You deserve this. It'll take a special position in your kitchen, just like a KitchenAid; in fact, a KitchenAid and this food processor have a constant presence on my countertop. If you love to cook, and you love to explore new techniques and recipes, then I beg of you; do yourself a big favour and get this today!

Ok folks, what more can be said about this machine that hasn't already been said? If you are looking at this level of appliance, then obviously you are serious about what you do in the kitchen. This thing is incredibly powerful and will muscle down just about anything you throw at it! I literally giggled with the first few things I sent down the mouth to be sliced up! We love having stir-fry in our house, but it is a laborious task prepping and cutting everything by hand. What normally would have taken me around two hours to chop and prep was reduced to about thirty minutes, including the emptying and cleaning of the copping bowl between different veggies. It's built like a tank; heft of quality and good construction. All the parts are solid and ready for everything you throw at it! I know some people said that the blade changing system is a bit cumbersome to figure out, I don't really understand that, it's a slide button and twist of the stem...pretty easy after you do it once. I'm looking forward to many years of service from this! I was hesitant to get back in to the food processor market after having a cumbersome Black and Decker noise maker that had trouble with carrots. This purchase immediately restored what my hopes would be for it! Don't look past it because it doesn't come with 600-plus attachments and can't bake a pizza for you...what this thing does is it works SOLID with what it was designed to do!!! Can't stress enough, if you're thinking of getting it, do it!!!

Great processor for meal prep. Sharp, fast and powerful. The safety mechanism was designed by a lawyer. I bypassed the safety switch and removed all the useless overcomplicated push mechanism and levers. Now works great.

No blister switches to crack and fail, all the power you need and consistent slicing. America Test Kitchen top pick, I can see why. I liked our prior Cuisinart unit but thus unit is smaller footprint and all the performance.

The product is probably great, but I haven't had the chance to try it because it is not adapted for the EU market. I couldn't plug it in, so unfortunately I had to return it

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST PROCESSOR!!

Highly recommended! Even though ( or because ) this is an older model, at 600 W, it’s twice as powerful as any of the newer 7 cup models and Very Quiet. It’s the smaller sized version used in real professional kitchens. Food is beautifully processed with just a light tap on the pedal... giving a pulsed or continuous current and there is no delay in the controls. Easy to use and clean

Me encanta su color, su forma de trabajar , los discos rallan perfecto .
Es sencillo de usar, tiene gran capacidad. Lo uso para hacer salsas, picar verdura, hacer pasta. Es un aparato y una marca que desquita lo que vale.
