Cuisinart is undoubtedly a trusted brand when it comes to food processors. In fact, Cuisinart food processors are the most renowned in the industry, with a reputation that is on par with that of KitchenAid and Hamilton Beach. With a size that allows for bigger chunks of food to be processed without prior chopping and high powered motors that are speed adjustable, Cuisinart food processors have certainly been a leader in quality and convenience.
Among other good remarks of Cuisinart food processors are their high quality blades and dough kneading functions. They are also especially better at processing softer food. This point is especially notable when compared with KitchenAid products. Top that up with the instructional DVD that guarantees a smooth start, and you’ve got yourself true value for your money.
Advantages of the Cuisinart food processors:
- The large feed tube makes it quick and easy to add in bigger-sized food without having to cut them up.
- The Lexan work bowl which is heat resistant. It’s very durable too.
- The high powered motor adjusts its speed automatically to ensure proper consistency of your food.
- The blades are of good quality (firm and solid) and the other removable parts locks into place smoothly.
- They make very good dough with the dough kneading function. If you make a lot of bread I would recommend Cuisinart models over KitchenAid ones.
- Same goes for processing softer food, Cuisinart food processors cycles the food through the blade perfectly. I love to make dips and spreads with my Cuisinart food processors!
- The lever that attaches to the blades makes it so much convenient to remove them. I don’t have to put my fingers in the food at all.
- Cuisinart food processors come with instructional DVD.
A few other features to note is that the blades for Cuisinart models is dropped on, unlike KitchenAid ones which are fixed. The bowl and lid can be removed together too. I have yet to come across any feature that I really dislike about the Cuisinart models, but some users claim that the blades don’t suck down the food, and that the customer service is not as helpful as expected.
