The plastic posts holding the blades shattered the second time I used the machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m having a blast using the food processor! It makes cooking fun. I look for recipes that will allow me to use the food processor. It was a surprise gift from my great nieces and nephews. I was tickled because I had been checking it out at least a month,
So far, love my new Cuisinart. Haven't yet used the continuous feed attachment. The only tricky thing was getting the blade out. I used a DC Pro for years, and removal of this blade is different. Twist and lift. Took me a minute to figure that out.
Really like me purchase needed it to cut vegetables and fruit. Great for making cold slaw Wish the blades would cut for thicker slices of vegetables to use for dips.
This machine is so easy to assemble, use and the cuts and shreds are consistent every time. We have made so many things that we never thought possible. We do not even buy pre-shredded cheese anymore. Freshly shredded cheese is SO MUCH better tasting and healthier, takes about 5 seconds to shred a block of cheddar. Highly recommend for your kitchen!
This is a terrific addition to my kitchen. I have the professional cuisinart food processor but it’s big and heavy and hard for me to lift. It takes more counter space as well. This is just perfect!
