Cuisinart DLC-8S 11-Cup Pro Custom 11 Food Processor, White

Comment: I just received mine and it works great. I had a smaller Kitchen Aid which is an excellent product as well, but this had more capacity and was on sale, so why not?
It comes with a manual and a dvd and plenty of accessories. It's sturdy, efficient, and well-made. I made cole slaw for the first use, and it worked like a charm and cleanup was easy.

Please look at the dates of these old reviews, some are 10 years old for goodness sakes. I wish Amazon would create as statute of limitations, as these are now completely irrelevant to the current product available. Note also, that the posters seem to be deriding the company for charging for replacement parts for their 25 year old machine(and that's 10 years ago!). I'd be thrilled to have a product last that long, so I'm looking forward to having this around until I'm 72, then I'll gripe they don't make 'em like they used to like these old fogies!

Comment: Removal of the bowl from the base is impossible with breaking the white pplastic locking pin. The manual says nothing about doing it.

Comment: I'm not a good cook but this is making what I do cook seem so effortless. There's nothing I hate more than slicing and dicing and this takes care of that problem so well! I'd recommend this to everyone!!!

Comment: I spent a LOT of time reviewing various food processors before selecting this one. Kitchen Aid has a model that was recommended by many but I personally didn't like the design. Not that it is a big deal for most people, but my personal preference leaned towards the click push down buttons on this model vs the soft buttons on the Kitchen Aid. In addition, I didn't care to have the small bowl option inside the larger bowl. To me it seems like more possible clean up because the small bowl fits inside the larger one. I'm not sure that it causes you to have to clean the larger bowl, but that's the way it appears and I didn't care to try it.

This food processor has been in my kitchen for nearly two years now. I use if for several different things including salsa and pesto. Even though the liquid limit is relatively low (which seems to be the case with all processors) I am able to process a full batch with one 28 oz can of tomatoes, then add a second can. If the batch is transferred quickly to a container there is little to no problem with the liquid overflowing. If it sits for a bit, that much liquid is a problem.

When I buy cheese I buy in blocks and shred with this processor. Recently I needed to slice beef for beef jerky and I thought I would use my slicer/shredder attachment for my Bosch mixer. However, the food chute for the larger Bosch bowl was not as big as the chute on this Cuisinart. The Cuisinart worked great to slice beef quickly in just the right size for jerky.

The attachments are easy to use and adding liquid during processing is easy to do. The fact that the chute is toward the back bothered me at first but ultimately it really didn't become a big deal. I would consider this a great basic processor for any home. To me, that makes it a great buy and a great possible gift to newlyweds or for those with a new home.

Comment: I looked at alot of food processors online and in stores, but this one really caught my eye. It looked user friendly and the price was reasonable. I ordered it and tried it out and I love it! I haven't used all the attachments yet, just mainly blending things together but I am sure they work as well!
