Cuisinart DFP-14BCN Custom 14 Food Processor

Definite upgrade

Strengths: More powerful, better control, greater capacity

Weakness: none so far

I just replaced my 30 year old CFP model (plastic on steel blade cracked)with this model. It is a big step up and I am glad I stayed with Cuisinart brand. The feed tube is much better and I truly love the increased bowl capacity. Being able to pulse gives much better control over the finished product.

Quick and quiet, but has its limitations

Strengths: This machine slices, grates, and chops like nobody's business. It works quickly, even on foods as hard as parmeggiano-reggiano.

Weakness: May have to cut food to a smaller size before feeding it into the machine, so no tomato or onion slices. Can waste some cheese when shredding. Liquid capacity limitation is pretty low.

I use this for recipes that involve a lot of slicing or grating. I somehow had the impression that the chute was large enough for, say, a medium tomato or onion, but it's not. It does an awesome job of chopping herbs. Finally, while the machine made quick work of my pesto recipe, the capacity limitations for liquids forced me to make smaller batches. Would recommend with reservations for...

DFP-14BCN Custom 14 Food Processor

Strengths: The product is everything thing I thought it would be. It's very quiet and works very fast and efficiently. I'm glad I bought the 14 cup size especially for big recipes. I enjoyed the dvd.

Weakness: None yet.

I would recommend this product. I'm glad I purchased it. I enjoyed the recipe book and dvd that came with it. I used it to make breads, meat loaf, and scalloped pototoes. All turned out great!!!!!

food processor

Strengths: very good

Weakness: none

I bought this for my mother-in-law to use to make meals for her mother who is 90 years old and can no longer wear dentures. It is amazing! "Grandmother" can now eat regular foods just like us. I've pureed everything from hotdogs, to vegetables, to meats, to french fries for her and she really enjoys the food! I've also used it to make homemade whipped cream, cucumber veggie chips (for my...

food processor

Strengths: great motor

Weakness: too big

The food processor was pretty decent. I only used it a few times so far, but I plan on making some pestos and things like that. It is pretty big, so I'm pretty happy about that.

Great Product

Strengths: It is very efficient and the bowl is large. Easy for cleanup.

Weakness: Safety first is a drawback for regular users. you need to snap in the food pusher correctly switch it on.

Beautiful machine, works great, and QUIET, considering what it's doing. Sharp blades does things in a zip. the stainless steel finish makes it look great on my countertop along with the other electrics. I highly recommend this machine to anyone that loves to cook.

Fantastic Food Processor

Strengths: Fast, easy and efficent

Weakness: Clean up can be a hassle if you are not preparing a large amount of food.

This is great machine that can handle a big job. Its blades are sharp and quickly slice, dice, kneed, and chop. If you are looking for a high capacity food processor, this is your best bet. Cusinart is one of the best brands in the market for food processors, next to an industrial robo coupe (which are awesome if you can get your hands on one!). I love the features of this product except for the...

Ultimate machine, Pro level, nothing even comes...

Strengths: Cool aesthetics. Great built quality & locking mechanism. DVD. Biggest size. Timesaver as it does everthing in seconds which otherwise would take 10-15 minutes at least. Dishwasher safe.

Weakness: None. The only negative is that once to adapt to it, you won't be able to cook without it.

It's a thing of beauty & beauty lies in it's muscle and speed. It won't work unless it's properly locked/engaged. Locking mechanism is very easy to do & you can listen it clicking in place when set. It comes with a DVD that explains all of its features. Follow the DVD instructions from a pro chef & you'll slice, grate, puree, chop etc like a pro. I'm sure it'll replace a lot of tools in your...

DFP-14BCN 14 Cup food Processor

Strengths: Heavy base, it doesn't move around while doing the job. Design, Dishwasher safe

Weakness: none

This is my first food processor. We are a family of 2 and was rather skeptical whether it could chop, grate small amounts of food successfully. Well I was pleasantly surprised! I like the big mouth food chute as you can easily fit a whole onion and other veges too. the blades are sharp and do their work in a jiffy. Also it looks good sitting on your counter. All in all an awesome machine.
