CuisinartFood Processor, Pro Custom 11 Cup, Brushed Chrome, DLC-8SBCYP1

Blades really sharp. Be careful when changing them

Great machine

We needed a new food processor to replace our broken down on. This unit does not disappoint. First thing I noticed when unpacking the machine is its weight. It feels super sturdy and stable. The second thing I noticed is how little noise the machine makes during use. Our old processor was a beast of a machine and sounded like one. This Cuisinart is scary quiet. Even scarier (in a good way) is how easily it cuts through everything. I know the blades are new and, therefore, still extremely sharp, but this unit feels like it will continue to process food easily for years to come before needed a blade replacement. The footprint it takes up on the counter top is very small (surface area smaller than a piece of 8x11 paper). Vertically, it can be a bit tall when using the large feeder top, but it doesn't make it unsightly. It comes with a standard blade, two discs for slicing (thick and thin) and one disc for shredding. We made sangria for Thanksgiving, and slicing the pears and apples was breeze using this processor. I haven't used the shredding disc yet, but I have no doubt it will make easy work of cheese, potatoes, carrots, etc. There is one thing I would highly recommend, and that is the storage container for the blade and discs. For three reasons: 1) First and foremost safety. These blades are super sharp, and the last thing you want is to slice your finger reaching for them. 2) The container will protect your blades from getting nicked. 3) All your blades and discs will be in one easy to find location. We are looking forward to using this unit more often, and hope it is as durable as we expect it to be.

When a piece of the bowl of my 40-year old cuisinart food processor broke so I could no longer use the machine, I looked at just replacing the bowl. I hesitated because I thought - with my luck - I would replace the bowl and then there would be another part to replace since the machine was old. So, I bought the new model and am very pleased with it. It is almost identical to the old model but the plastic bowl/lid is less brittle. I use this machine frequently, so it was worth the investment.

Great product! Works better than most food processors. By the description I may have misunderstood but expected brushed chrome metal base but was actually plastic. Otherwise as described and works great. Great value for the price nonetheless.

I received my Cuisinart for Christmas. i’ve loved using it for different things. Pie crust, grating cheese, and a number of other things such as blending different items.I look forward to expanding my ability to more things to try.Very happy with my present.

It just makes prepping so fast. I didn’t have one for a long time and I’m glad I decided to get a new one.

Este procesador de alimentos me cambió la vida en la cocina. Ahora rebano y rallo vegetales para mis ensaladas en segundos. Es muy potente, las masas ligeras (a base de queso, almidón de maíz o de yuca) quedan sedosas en poco tiempo. Ahora en 3 o 4 minutos hago lo que antes hacía de 15 a 20 minutos amasando a mano. Lo mejor de todo, con resultados superiores. Este procesador Cuisinart me encanta.
