CuisinartDLC-8SY Pro Custom 11™ 11 Cup Food Processor

Versatile

After 30+ years, my Cuisinart food processor needed to be replaced. My new one works great and handles larger vegetables and chunks of cheese. As always, it's powerful and the blades are super sharp. Definitely, a great addition.

Do all Cuisinarts last at least 52 years?

After 52 years with my original Cuisinart, the bowl was in bad shape so I bought a new one! (It did still work!) Planning on new one lasting at least another 52 years!

Great processor, bad engineering on the workbowl

Our previous Cuisinart food processor had the same problem as this one. The workbowl clicks into place via two small pieces of plastic. It took 15 years before the plastic broke on our first processor's workbowl, but only 6 years before the plastic on both sides broke on this 11 cup Pro. We loved everything about both of the food processors, but this engineering flaw has driven us to Ninja.

Of all the parts offered why is there no STEM replacement?

Food processor

Cuisnart food processors are great third one I’ve owned over 50 years

Solid food processor.

This was a replacement for our 30 year old Cuisinart that was falling apart. Still worked, but the plastic was falling apart. After looking at all the options, we bought the exact same processor. We hope this one is as good as the first one.

Dough hook quandary.

I used my new Pro Custom 11 Cup Food Processor yesterday and am thrilled with it however I see now that it did not come equipped with a dough blade. The instruction manual mentions working with dough but no mention of the customary dough blade being replaced by the chopper blade? What’s going on? This is why I have only given it 4 stars.

Best fFood Processor

I bought a new Cuisinart 3 weeks ago after my 20-yr old model died. I thik Cuisinart makes the best food processors.
