Did not purée my pesto

I bought this because it stated that it could purée apple sauce, thinking it could make good pesto. I was wrong. My pesto could not get puréed enough and still had pieces of basil that were too large. Should have just bought the regular mini food processor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear the Core Custom 4 Cup Chopper did not meet your expectations. As a chopper, this model is designed for lighter prep tasks and has more limited processing capabilities than our full-size food processors, which may be better suited for recipes like pesto that require a finer, smoother consistency. For best results, cutting ingredients into smaller pieces and processing in batches may help improve texture, but we also offer a variety of food processor models that may better match your needs. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it helps us continue improving our products and helping consumers find the best solution for their kitchen needs.
It doesn't work and it's the 1st time I used it. Was a gift. I thought Cuisinart was a good brand

We’re sorry to hear the chopper did not work on first use, especially as it was a gift, and we understand how disappointing that must be. For troubleshooting, we recommend ensuring all components are properly aligned and securely locked into place, as the unit will not operate unless assembled correctly. Our team would be happy to assist further and review your experience—please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901026029. Thank you for sharing your feedback, as it helps us improve future products and overall performance.
Unfortunately this stopped working after only a couple of months. I tried all troubleshooting options online and on YouTube and even troubleshooting on phone but nothing worked. I had registered my warranty and when I contacted to utilize it there was a huge run around and hoops to jump through but they finally agreed to send me a new one after I cut the cord on the broken one. Understand about cutting the cord but adding more plastic and electric device to landfill stinks.

We’re happy to hear we were ultimately able to assist with a warranty replacement for your Core Custom™ 4‑Cup Chopper, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced along the way. We understand your concerns regarding disposal, and the cord‑cutting step is a standard safety requirement to ensure non‑operable units cannot be reused. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, as it helps us improve future models and customer experience.
What’s most important to me is this device’s ability to save me time and also money. i’m a single guy and I prefer to cook every day and I don’t like pre-prepared frozen meals. Onions, peppers, garlic, all chop in seconds. Homemade vinaigrettes, salad dressings and marinades happen in seconds, and taste better than bottled ones from the supermarket—preservative- free with fresh ingredients guarantee a better taste. Of course I still use my larger Cuisinart, but this food processor I use almost every day and it gives my chef’s knife a break. Don’t forget salsa, guacamole, and tapenades.
Purchased it several weeks ago, use it once, it worked. Now I want to use it again and it won't work, it's dead. I checked everything, plug, power supply, bowl and cover well set, nothing helps. Very disappointed.
