The PROs:

- It is so attractive, and the performance is impressive…
- great customer service… I accidentally ordered the silver plastic, but I returned it and re-got the stainless-steel in no time.
- It doesn’t take up much space on the counter, and more importantly, it doesn’t move, not even when it’s processing heavier foods…
- I don’t even hear it, it makes less noise than my blender…
- My husband cleaned it with a soapy sponge, it was so easy…
- I tried very hard not to love it because I was nostalgic about my old B&D, just couldn’t help myself…
- This motor is far more powerful than the one in my old processor…
- The bowl snaps on very securely…

- This processor turned a loaf of bread into crumbs before I even had time to think…
- It does all the chopping and cutting for me, I definitely enjoy making dinner now…
- You won’t regret it, and you’ll definitely get your money’s worth…
- Most likely the best kitchen device I’ve ever used…
- It will do countless things, regardless of who’s using it – a professional cook or a housewife…
- Completely safe to use around small kids – they won’t be able to put their hands into the machine, but an adult will very easily open it and use it…
- Cuisinart has a long reputation considering the quality – my mother has had one of their models for 25 years and still uses it, so I knew I wouldn’t make a mistake buying this one…

- I didn’t even think I’d use it this much…
The CONs:
- I’d probably want a slightly bigger size, but this one is ok having the price in mind…
- I have to break it down for storage, it’s too big for my counter…
- My machine would sometimes stop mid-using, so I returned it…
- Getting the bowl locked was slightly difficult…
My Review
In its price range, this model is one of the best. After years of writing these reviews and as an ex-Quality Assurance Manager in home appliances, I have a very precise and strict system of judging products. It’s based on my experience and the reviews of people using it.
Nowadays, it’s more difficult to separate quality from a waste of money (with outsourcing entering the picture). I know where to find the information on that, and I take my time looking into that since it can make or break a product.
With the 10 years warranty and renowned name that is Cuisinart, the quality of this product is guaranteed. You can do no wrong with this. I stand behind my word on this.
