Cuisinart (DFP-14BKSY) Custom Food Processor Reviews

This was a replacement for the cheaper brand that I had had since graduate school, but wore out from having to cook so much at home during covid lockdown. (The blade spindle cracked.) This Cuisinart cost roughly five times as much as the one that wore out. My old model is still available, but this Cuisinart also appears to be at least five times as robust and efficient. Already, I have taken to making my own ground meat with it--and I will never look back, since I can now control the quality and fat content of the meat completely. My old, cheap machine would not grind meat, in part because it did not have much horsepower, and in part because the blades never seemed to be able to stir the items being chopped--meaning that items on the bottom were pureed while items on the top were left untouched, no matter how much pulsing one did. This Cuisinart chops quickly and evenly just with normal pulsing. No need to shake the machine side to side or scrape down the inside edges several times. Everything goes into the dishwasher, and comes out shiny. I have no idea why this particular unit was rather cheaper than a similar one with all the same specs that I could make out except that this one was "black stainless," a very nice finish. It has the same power, the same bowl capacity, and the same attachments included, so have no fear about ordering this one in terms of performance. It is a delight.

I love the food processor. I do wish it had an adjustable setting for how thick or think you want the slices but knew when I bought this model it wasnt an option so I gave it a 5 star. But what I think is fantastic is making pie crust. Never knew how easy it was to cut in butter and now I love making pie crust.

This is my first food processor ever! I had been wanting one to make more things from scratch for healthier less processed food/meals. My first use was to make coleslaw which used all the parts...chopping blade, shredder and slicing discs. Was amazed at how easy and efficient it was to use. I am so happy with my purchase and will be using this to make everything from salad dressings, soups, veggies and entrees.

Best workhorse food processor, and it can be thrown in the dishwasher every time and not show any wear.

I like the product chopping and shredding ability..however, I really wish the flat lid was also available like in the older models ... I really miss this kind for chopping as the other lid is much harder to clean!

I asked for the food processor for Christmas. This replaced my old one that I have had for 44 years. The old one's blades began to get dull. I have already sliced potatoes beautifully and made a coldslaw with ease. I would recommend it highly.

We bought this in December of 2018, so we have had it almost a month now. I have to say, this is a replacement of another food processor that we owned for years and we were not satisfied with. I was watching a You-Tube video and the chef was using a Cuisinart 14 cup food processor. I was wowed by it. We bought this 14 cup food processor in December of 2018 and we both agree this is the best food processor we have ever owned in our 25 years of marriage. I watched the videos on how to use it and learned all I could about this machine. I am here to testify this machine is Awesome! It chops, slices and grates with ease. I don't use a knife to chop anything anymore, This machine is fast and efficient and extremely easy to use. Two buttons, you have an On and a Pulse. When you operate it with just the On button, you can add fluids by pouring them into the small chute and the fluid will flow down onto you food and mixes it with ease. When you chop using the pulse button, we are talking seconds to chop an onion, tomato or any other vegetable. We have made so many meals using this machine it has cut down our prep time. It is fun to use. The slicer and grater are very fast as well. I can not say enough good things about this machine. For the money it is clearly the best product we have purchased. Easy to clean and easy to extract whatever vegetable / seeds your working with. It comes with a spatula, two blades, 1 for slicing and 1 for grating, and a chopper blade. All of these are very. sharp! We have made many different sauces, salads, guacamole, and more. It is heavy so it does not bounce around when you us it. Since we have purchased this food processor we purchased an extra 14 cup container for use and a blade holder. We are all in with this machine and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good food processor. It is used everyday. I am looking forward to many years of service with this machine. We are definitely happy with this processor.
