So far, so good! I have used it a few times and am loving having a food processor finally! Cuisinart is a brand I trust and I have had one of their mini food processors for about 28 years, still working great! I also love that I can put all the pieces of the food processor in the dishwasher, which is actually the manufacturer's preferred washing method. So easy!
It does what it is supposed to but I don't like washing it! Too many crevices that collect water that I cant get to - to dry. Its just like the cuisinart grinder / coffee maker I bought. I have to wash five (5) separate pieces every time I make a pot of coffee, and every piece must be dried completely including the inside of the machine or it gets all gummed up from the moisture. Tonight I shredded brussel sprouts. It shredded them in seconds, but it took me a long time to clean and dry all of the pieces. The bowl, the lid, the shredder blade, the shredder blade support. I could have sliced them with a knife in the same amount of time.... I bought it for making pie dough but haven't tried that yet. Hopefully it will make it worth the ridiculous amount of money I paid for it.
One stop machine, this food processor does everything and is streamlined and easy to use! Heavy duty, bought this top rated one based on reviews and it’s use on the America’s Test Kitchen Show!!
