Food Processors

You can go through countless information and food processor reviews, or find it all here, conveniently packet to provide you with optimal knowledge in a minimal amount of text. If you’re with me so far, you’re most than welcome to continue reading.

Why should you read on?

Simply put, because I know what I’m talking about. I’ve been writing these reviews and different blogs for many years now, and I know the industry inside and out. It makes me your safest bet for an unbiased and honest food processor review.

I also contact the customers regularly to hear about their experiences with these products in real life. Customer feedback is my number one factor when deciding whether I’m talking about the best food processor in a certain category or simply a waste of cash.

Outlines of this review

Let’s take a quick look at all the different sections my reviews usually contain:

• We’ll start by listing out the facts shared with us by the manufacturer
• Then we’ll follow it up with some good and not so pleasant user experiences
• Finally, I’ll take a look back and give my own two cents when it comes to this product

Now that you know what’s to come, we can start some reviewing.

KitchenAid KFP1333CU Review

Specifications

Let’s see what the manufacturer has in store for us this time:

• Silver finish featuring work bowl that’s BPA – free
• Special mini bowl (with lid) on top of the main one
• The slicing disc is adjustable
• 3 different power settings
• 11.8 inches long, 10.8 wide, and 16.6 high

Now we have some raw material to work with and filter it through all those things users had to say after putting it to the test. So, let’s do it.

Positive User Reviews

This is what we would usually call the PROs section. So, time to see the bright side of this food processor:

• I just love this kitchen machine! It very user-friendly and no trouble to clean. The motor is super strong, and I’m always looking for new stuff to shred, chop, or grate. It’s so much better than my old Cuisinart food processor, and I recommend it to everyone
• It’s a high-quality product, and a great addition to my kitchen machinery. Very easy to operate and the cup is just the perfect size. I also like the mini bowl a lot, since it takes care of the smaller tasks without having to use the main one. I use it almost daily for all kinds of jobs, and it chops everything without any hesitation. I’m very happy with this buy, especially since I got a pretty neat discount. Well worth the money invested
• This food processor has been a great hit for my family. It does everything I need it to without any problems, and I like how easy it is to change its settings. I especially enjoy the option of adjusting the thickness of the slices. No problems whatsoever setting it up, and the cleaning is very easy too, just rinse it out with some soapy water ad you’re good to go. My family and I are very satisfied with this product and if you’re looking for a high-quality food processor you can give this one a go without a second thought
• It serves me great for making hummus. I also tend to make my own coconut butter and almond milk, and this little guy saves me a lot of time and trouble. It’s very powerful, so it does everything without any trouble, and I don’t need to spend ages cleaning it afterward. And you can change the cut size by simply turning the dial, which is a great option in my opinion. I would definitely buy this product all over again, and you should too
• The instruction manual was very easy to understand, and the initial assembly went without a hitch. The instructions for all additional attachments were very comprehensive, and I had no problems getting it to work. It contains my knife set, blender, and mixer all in one, and I couldn’t be happier with it
• I do a lot of cooking, and it took me forever to chop all the ingredients by hand. This food processor is a godsend. It saves me time, it’s easy to use, and it chops everything much better and more evenly than I ever could. I’m just no match for this machine. On top of being very useful and well made, it’s also very stylishly designed, so it looks amazing on my countertop

Negative User Reviews

We’ve heard the PROs, so let’s complete the story with some CONs:

• I just didn’t think it would be this big. When I got it, I realized it was way too much for my kitchen. It’s pretty useful though, and it looks awesome. I use it and have no other complaints, but be sure to check the size before ordering
• It took me some time to set it up. I’m not tech-savvy at all, and it takes me a bunch of time to get something to work properly once I buy it. After a while of fiddling around with it, I finally got all the pieces together, and I’m really happy with it
• The bowl cracked after just a few uses.

My Review

It is my sincere estimate that you can find a better food processor for the price.

As an ex Quality Assurance Manager of 10 years in a small fabric of kitchen appliances, I can claim that I truly know the industry and all the fine mechanisms that keep it going. That’s why I decided to write this review and hopefully get you one step closer to finding the best food processor for your home.

Hamilton Beach 70740 Food Processor Review

What’s in the Review

1. We’ll list all of the product specifications
2. Then we’ll take a closer look at all of the positive and negative user reviews
3. At the very end, I’ll rate this product and determine if it’s worth your money or not

Product Specifications:

• A much better solution than chopping food by hand
• You can easily and quickly chop onions, shred cabbage, mix sauces, slice salad ingredients, prepare pesto, or grate cheese
• 2 speeds and pulse control
• Stainless steel shred and slice discs and a chopping blade included
• 450-watt powerful motor

Positive Reviews

• I was looking for a smaller food processor that is still powerful enough to fit all my needs. I’m really happy with this product…
• It chops up potatoes in seconds. It also grates cheese quickly and efficiently…
• This thing is really easy to clean and store. I just love how the whole process of making baby food, cleaning, and storing this product takes only minutes out of my day…
• This is a really handy machine and just the perfect size. 8-cups capacity is perfect for larger batches, when we have friends over, or even when we cook for just the two of us.
• The lower blade really chops everything you put in it. There are no unprocessed chunks of food left that I have to chase with my fingers.
• The motor is wickedly strong, yet so quiet. So much better than my blender at making baby food and salsa.
• It’s really easy to fix on your counter because of these rubber feet it has. It doesn’t move around the counter when it’s on. I ordered another one to give as a gift to my best friend.
• You definitely can’t beat this quality at this price. It’s just so inexpensive for a food processor of this size and quality. We’ve been using it daily for a little over a year now, and we couldn’t be more satisfied.
• I love how I can now slice, chop and dice all of the vegetables I need for my all-time favorite dish in seconds…
• I just pop in some carrots, cabbage, and onions, and they are evenly cut and wok ready…
• There is absolutely no sliding around the kitchen counter when you’re using it, and it’s really user-friendly. It’s really easy to clean as well…
• Saves me so much time in the kitchen on the whole food prep/clean-up business. I really don’t know how I used to manage to chop everything by hand.
• This product is really well-made and looks sturdy and like it’s going to last me a long time. Totally worth every penny…
• It has the most important features I require from a food processor: it has the pulse option, and it’s easy to clean. I just rinse it with hot water and I’m done…
• Great at anything I’ve tried to chop so far with it, even the “harder” food like carrots, potatoes, cheese…
• It doesn’t leave uneven chunks, but neat little pieces I can easily cook. Great buy…
• I’m totally going to go on more ventures and try out more recipes now that there is no more pre-cutting or doing anything by hand.

Negative Reviews

• It has a square feed tube, and I find that awkward since, for example, cucumbers are round like most vegetables. Doesn’t make much sense and it’s not really practical.
• Recently after making a purchase, I broke the shredder blade, and when I looked into the warranty a little bit closer it said I had to cover the shipping expenses for it…not cool…
• I was really hoping it would arrive with more options…
• Our food processor stopped working this morning after only a few months of use. We are currently waiting for a replacement.

My Review

After many hours of close and careful examination of this product, and reading through every user review, I have concluded this product, and I can assure you that I went into “Quality Assurance Manager” mode that I was used to for so long.

It is definitely a neat addition to any kitchen that will make your life a little bit easier, but most importantly- it’s a high-quality product at an affordable price.

The square-shaped feeding tube is designed to fit customers’ needs.

However, if you’re on a budget, this is a solid choice.

I know it can be a drag finding a food processor that’s just right – but I can help. No matter how confused you might be and how many wrong choices you might have made – the food chute wasn’t big enough, the motor wasn’t strong enough, not to mention difficulties with the cleaning.

What you can expect from this review:

This review will digest all the information on the product for you so that you can make an informed decision whether this Cuisinart is worth spending money on.

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.

And why should you trust me, you might wonder, right?

I worked as a Quality Assurance Manager in a home appliances factory for years before I decided that corporate life just isn’t for me and I’ve been doing these reviews and running this website ever since. I hope that covers the trust area 🙂

Here’s what I’ll do in this review:

1. Objectively analyze specifications of the product
2. Take into consideration users reviews, both positive and negative
3. Try to summarize all of my impressions and give the final judgment of this product

So, let us begin!

Cuisinart DLC-8SY Food Processor Review

Specifications

1. This product is not only safe to use in the dishwasher, but the Lexan work bowl is basically unbreakable
2. To guarantee the correct dough consistency, the processor adjusts the speed automatically
3. All the parts are safe to wash in your dishwasher, and it also comes with a complete how-to DVD, a spatula, and a booklet with recipes and instructions
4. The wide Supreme tube can hold whole fruit and vegetables
5. The processor is up to the Electrical Standards of North America

The Pros 

• It looks smooth and is very easy to clean! It looks so good in my kitchen…it seems to be the last food processor I’ll ever need!
•  Now I can make home-made food for my baby without waking her up…My last food processor made her scream, and she cannot even notice when this one is on…
• It is a very tough and slick utensil, attractive and rather quiet. Since I cook every night, this will help me chop up stuff super fast at any time of the night…
• I’ve owned my fair share of kitchen utensils, and most of them broke really fast or didn’t do a really good job while they were still functioning properly, but not with this one…this processor makes baking, food preparation, and cooking a walk in the park…
• I used this food processor for making ice cream, and I can tell you that you do not need that $50 device. I used fruit ONLY and it came out all fine and creamy. It does wonders with nuts too, unlike my last food processor.
• It can even be used for making your own seed or nut flour. I can’t wait to see what else this baby can do…
• It cut down my prep time in half…I use it daily and it’s so easy to store and even easier to clean…
• This food processor arrived in great shape and on time. It is fast and efficient, and it comes apart in seconds for easy cleaning. The pieces are always neatly and evenly cut…

The Cons 

• The instruction manual is not as clear as it should be, and I’m the type of guy that doesn’t like to read or watch through detailed instructions, so I almost broke it when I first tried it out…
• This was my first food processor in years, so I needed some time to figure it all out and get used to it…
• I’m not happy to give any Cuisinart product such a low rating since I enjoyed them so far, but the motor is either too strong or I am just doing something wrong.
• It is very sturdy but too heavy for me to move around, so I can just keep it on my kitchen counter.

My Review

So, we’ve arrived at the very end of our short journey, and it is time to rate this machine, and help you decide will this be the last element that will make your kitchen feel like home!

First of all, the design is very smooth and minimal, so it will fit into nearly every kitchen, and you won’t even notice when it’s on. Not for those who like colorful and custom-made appliances.

It gravitates toward heavy machinery, but it’s still practical, easy to clean, assemble and use, yet it packs a very powerful motor under that slick exterior, which is surprisingly very quiet. So, this is one beast that actually purrs, rather than roars!

The company also offers a 10-year motor warranty and a 3-year food processor warranty, and so far there have been only words of praise on the punctuality and efficiency of the customer service representatives, even when a problem did occur.

Deciding whether this is the best food processor for your needs is up to you, but overall, this product offers great value for money.
