 "disappointing engineering" | 2008-09-07 |

| This was a gift for my wife who had wanted a large capacity food processor. When she used it, it leaked liquid all around the sides since the liquid thrown up the sides went right through the seam between the top and the bowl, and bits of food were thrown up into the lid of the feed-tube where it was hard to get to and remove during cleaning. She was not happy with these two problems and was disappointed that the chopping mechanism was not more efficient. Ultimately, we returned it and bought a Kitchen Aid food processor instead |

| I bought this food processor because it had a large capacity, which I needed, but the engineering and design of this product leaves alot to be desired. The first usage surprised me because all of the liquid inside splashed up and began to run down the outside of the container. I have decided to add liquids last, but there are several other downsides to this food processor. The splashing of what is being chopped in the bowl sends food up into the upper lid, where it lodges and is hard to remove. Chopping is uneven and there seems to be no way to get all things chopped evenly, whether layered on top or the bottom. Although this is called "Big Mouth", it is hard to add large things through the food chute since the opening to the chute is smaller than the chute itself. In order to load the 'big mouth' you have to open the top, which automatically shuts off the food processor. What a disappointment this machine was! |

If you need to make a lot of food, this is for you. If not, this is a poor choice.
My husband and I received this processor as a gift for our wedding a year ago. It's powerful, has a very large chute (nice!), has suction cups that are very strong to keep the machine on the counter, has different options for blades, is easy to put together/take apart and clean.
But it's much too big for the two of us. If you don't put in enough food, the blades won't reach all of it (either it falls to the bottom or gets flung out to the sides) and not all of it gets cut properly. So unless you really fill it every time, it won't be worth the trouble of getting it out and using it, then having to clean it and put it away. Chopping manually or using a mandolin is better worth your time for just a little bit of food.
Four stars for a good food processor. But this isn't for you unless you really need this much space. |

| I love this processor!!! It works for everything I have used it for from homemade pasta to quick homemade dips and doughs. The large mouth really allows you to move quickly and avoid extra prep work. It takes some getting used to on how much pressure to use when using the slicer blade but once you get it you will love it. I made an entire vegetable tray for 40 in about 10 minutes. It is a bit big and on the heavier side but worth it and the suction feet really help when it gets going! The only thing left to do is get their extra french fry cutter blade and I will use this all the time. |

| Well, it was fun while it lasted. I used this product maybe two or three times per month for making hummus and other dips - nothing challenging for the processor. Then one day without warning it just stopped working. Perhaps the motor died - maybe the trigger to allow the switch to work became defective... who knows. The slicer was more of a pain than it was worth. This leaves me with a lesson learned - pay a few bucks more for something that will last. This one had a short shelf life and now will sit in a landfill for future civilizations to discover. I hate that kind of watse. |

I received this as a gift and ended up throwing it out about six months later. The biggest problem is the gap between the bottom of the lid and the top of the slicer/grater. This gap is a real pain in the you-know-what when you're grating cheese as you can only grate about 3/4 of the block before the remaining cheese is pulled into this gap and spins around on the TOP of the blade. This also happens with anything else you try to slice or grate, but cheese was always the worst because I ended up with a sticky, cheesy mess beneath the lid.
Another problem is with the locking lid. After using it a few times, the hinged lid (which will prevent the machine from operating if not closed properly) stuck and I snapped it off accidently trying to unstick it. There was also a space in the lid that accumulated "dishwasher gunk" that I could never clean out.
This may seem like a good processor for the price, but if I had known the problems with it ahead of time, I would never have put it on my wish list. |

I bought this after reading several reviews from persons who really liked it, and the fact that I have a large family to cook for. I was not so pleased. The plastic top chipped off around the rim within 9 months. We had to throw the whole thing out. A couple of good performance areas with several negative.
Pros:
-It does handle a whole potato or tomatoe without having to chop it up first.
-It does what it says it does. It chops, slices and shreds.
-it's big enough to handle a big family.
Cons:
-It does not handle hard cheeses (parmesean, romano, etc) well. You wind up with a big chunk of cheese left between the shredder blade and the top of the machine (not just cheese, potatoes also had a big jamming issue)
-DO NOT try to chop ice in this processor. It chipped off a small piece of the lid, which from then on, continued to chip and break on anything harder than a tomatoe until it would no longer stay closed
-IT's VERY LOUD
-does not handle spices or small things well. It's just too big.
Overall, it does what it says it does. It saves you time, but it's loud and not very durable. Food gets stuck and won't shred or slice, which you wind up throwing out (more waste). I would not recommend this to anyone, nor would I purchase it again. |

| Huge powerhouse...large feed tube...all around good food processor for 50.00 bucks cant beat it...I grate all my cheese cheddar..mozzz...parm...that alone from block cheese make this totally worth it. We had a huge pizza party and i doubled the pizza dough recipe and this machine didnt even blink with that much dough. This is not a sophisticated cuisineart but I have used cheap to very expensive food processors and the large size of this alone and price..is awesome..If i win the lotto Ill get the expensive kind one day..in the meantime this workhorse is perfect |
