| Customer Reviews: Average Rating: 3.5/5 | | Great -- for small families and small kitchens: Rating: 4/5 |
I'm cooking for two, in a New York kitchen. I still recall my Grandmother's house in Iowa, where the kitchen was somewhat larger than my current living room, but that was a long time ago, and now my counter space is roughly the size of my cutting board. For me, the 7 cup food processor is pretty much optimal in terms of both footprint and capacity. Also, I routinely use it for slicing. chopping and shredding. A food processor is the right device for these tasks. While it may be used for kneading bread dough, it's not a replacement for a stand mixer, and a blender is the right tool for pureeing. For these uses, the food processor is a compromise.
The Cuisinart DFP is pretty much the same as the original food processor introduced in the 1970s. It has one speed, and a single three position switch: on, off and pulse. It comes with a blade for chopping, a device for making bread, and blades for slicing and shredding. There is a dual feeling tube. The outer tube is quite wide, and has a safety feature that requires it to be locked in place before the machine will work. A narrower tube, which is not locked, and is intended for narrower items such as carrots, or for adding liquids or continuous feed items such as garlic.
Used for chopping and slicing, the machine is excellent. It can whiz through a head of cabbage or a fennel bulb for slaws, and breezes through potatoes. I still find it surprising how quickly it can race through a job that would take up to half an hour with a knife and about 20 minutes with a mandolin. The safety interlock is a trivial annoyance, and cleaning is easy. The size is just about right for two people, although for occasional jobs, such as slicing potatoes for Portuguese codfish and potatoes (lots of potatoes) it may be necessary to empty the food bowl and then fill it again.
For those who have the counter space, and the budget, Kitchen Aide makes an excellent 11 cup machine that comes with a mini bowl for smaller jobs, but when space is a real factor and small jobs are the norm, this Cuisinart may be the optimal choice.

| | Great item!!: Rating: 5/5 |
| I have been using this machine for about two years now with no problems. I can agree that you do have to put everything together just right so that it will run, but this was designed on purpose to keep users safe. I've mostly used it to make baby food, and we are now on our second child with the food processor still going strong! I would highly recommend this item to anyone looking for a durable and stylish food processor. |
| | What Has Cuisinart Done?: Rating: 1/5 |
| I was the first my neighborhood to buy a Cuisinart 30 years ago. It served me very very well for all these years. Time to get a new one so I purchased this model. It was impossible to clean, very difficult to use, and died after 3 uses. Save yourself some grief. |
| | What Has Cuisinart Done?: Rating: 1/5 |
I was the first in my neighborhood to buy a Cuisinart (made in France) 30 years ago after hearing Julia praise it. It served me VERY VERY well.
It was time to buy a new processor so I bought this model. IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN! NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO USE! AND THE MOTOR DIED AFTER 3 USES. This model is made in China (so what else is new?). Save yourself some grief. |
| | Safety features are NOT a problem: Rating: 5/5 |
| There are two reviews on this site as well as some on others claiming that the safety features on this model are a problem and/or that the feeder pusher can't be removed without removing the entire top. My conclusion is that these people must not have read the instructions, which I feel are clear as to how to remove the dual-pusher (which is the notable feature of this model vs. the DLC-5). I'm having no problems at all and think this is a great product. The large dual-pusher feeding tube is a very useful feature. |
