I've had the same Cuisinart Pro Classic 7 Cup Food Processor for about 10 years now. I use it a couple times a week. I've made just about everything you can imagine with it. It has a nice strong motor and is not too big so it's easy to store. It is a bit heavy due to the heavy duty motor, but that's not a bad thing.
r/Appliances • What's the best food processor these days? In need of something reliable (and not impossible to clean) ->Thr plastic is for dough I believe.
r/BuyItForLife • Which Cuisinart food processor is better ->Unless you make a lot of big bulk meals, I would go with the 10, smaller is more efficient.
r/BuyItForLife • Which Cuisinart food processor is better ->For home use, the Cuisinart models are typically rated among the best, if not the best. I almost always see the classic 14 cup in the number 1 spot. It works very well and has a brake to stop the blade quickly to prevent over chopping.

It doesn't have a brake the bigger one, but it does a great job.

r/Cooking • Do all food processors leave big uncut pieces? Looking for recommendations ->I have a Cuisinart 7 cup, and it works great, I previously had a Braun, and it quite working
r/Cooking • Looking for suggestions on buying a food processor. ->I downsized to a Cuisinart 7 cup because my old 12 cup was too big. A 7 cup is the right size for us two, and it has enough capacity and power to make a loaf of bread or some focassia, which I do often
r/Cooking • Debating whether to get a 14-cup food processor on sale (Breville or Cuisinart) or get a used Cuisinart Pro Classic 7-cup for $50. Hoping for some input. ->I bought a 7 cup Cuisinart, and it has plenty of power, and it is quiet, but I do wish that it had 2 speeds.
r/Cooking • Need a New Food Processor Recommendation ->I usually do one loaf at a time and I always use the food processor. I have Cuisinart 7 cup with the dough blade which probably puts less of a load on the motor and it is easier and faster than the mixer. I usually do a final kneading by hand no matter what machine that I use to get the dough to the final stage.
r/Breadit • Food Processor for Bread? ->I have three food processors, all Cuisinart. I've had the 7-cup (https://a.co/d/4f6LYdd) for over 20 years. I have had to replace bowls and lids once in that time. I use this a lot for shredding cheese, NGL. I bought the 11-cup (https://a.co/d/bjsKZqz) about five years ago because I needed replacement pieces for the 7-cup that were unavailable at the time. I was finally able to get parts, so this one mostly sits in storage. I bought the mini-prep (https://a.co/d/9rcYvtT) at some point because I wanted something with a smaller footprint that I could leave on the counter. If I need to chop something small, herbs or an onion, then I use this one. It's probably the one I use the most often. TL;DR Cuisinart

The older models have stronger motors
r/BuyItForLife • Which Cuisinart food processor is better ->I make almost all my meals from scratch, have a food processor, and only use it for making hummus. But the one I have should last me a lifetime. It's really simple, powerful, big enough, not crazy expensive: [Cuisinart Food Processor](https://a.co/d/cMarnhc)
r/Cooking • Anyone have opinions on the Breville Paradice 16 cup? ->I have the one on the left. Love it! Replaced it with a Ninja to do smoothies, and miss the Cuisinart. The Ninja overheats easily, but I could run the Cuisinart continuously to make tahini.
r/BuyItForLife • Which Cuisinart food processor is better ->I just bought a Cuisinart 7 cup food processor at the thrift store today for $5! I also got a Breville centrifuge juicer for $7.50. It was a good thrifting day.
r/EatCheapAndVegan • What food processor do you use ->I bought the same one in 1995 for $50 on clearance at Mervyn's Department Store. 30 years later you have to fiddle with the lid to get it to lock on. Picked up a NIB 7-cup pro classic for $20 at Goodwill last Thursday. Now I have one set up to chop and the other to grate. I'm living the life here lemme tell you.
r/BuyItForLife • BIFL: Food processors. Which ones actually do what they promise to do? ->I've had two DLC-10s, they're very simple and reliable, I'm sure the Custom 11 is similarly durable. From a BIFL perspective I would say they're pretty much equal. Normally I would decide based on which one had more attachments, because buying additional attachments will typically eat up whatever savings you get, but these look to have pretty much the same stuff included. 7 cups is fairly small though. If you regularly cook for 6 people or more, I would go for the bigger one, if you only make big batches occasionally then I would get the smaller one
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →Outside of maybe really expensive and industry-grade gear, Its all about the load to max capacity ratio. I have the newest cuisinart prep pro model and it does a terrific job... so long you don't overfill the tank. Its a learning process imo.
r/buyforlifetips • View on Reddit →Don't really use blenders much. I do have a 1200 watt Ninja that I got @ Costco that works pretty well, when I need a blender I bought an All-Clad cordless immersion blender a couple of years ago because it was pretty cheap (\~$50). I got it because I have no power outlets near my stove, so a cordless one was in order As far as food processors go, get a classic style Cuisinart. Accept no substitutes. I bought one about 30 years ago, and I still have it. I've purchased others, and actually got my holy grail, which was a DLC-X, which is the 20-cup one that was actually rated for residential as well as commercial use. It is an absolute beast. They still make a 14-cup one w/ a stainless skin, in the style from the 80's. It's \~$200, which is what I paid for my 11-cup one 30 years ago!
r/AllClad • View on Reddit →I have 7 cup but check out 14 cup for dicing attachment if it meets your needs
r/IndianFood • View on Reddit →I've had the 7-cup Cuisinart for quite a few years, held up well, nothing has broken, performs well. Not sure if it's quieter than your old one though it doesn't seem unduly loud for a food processor.

r/Cooking • View on Reddit →I would get a Cuisinart Mini-prep (like the DLC-1SS) I had a 7-cup Cuisinart and it is every bit as durable as the 14 cup, I would imagine their mini models offer the same simplicity
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →Cuisinart's 14QT tops ATK's list, which is about the only reviewer i would blindly trust for a rec. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/equipment_reviews/2194-food-processors i've got a 40yr old DLC-10 that is still trucking. the only person i know who doesn't own a Cuisinart food processor was when my mom bought a KitchenAid. it died on Christmas Eve, less than 6 months old. it was also absurdly intricate and difficult to clear. stick with Cuisinart.
r/BuyItForLife • View on Reddit →i'm still using my 40 year old DLC-10. unless you need the larger capacity, can't go wrong with the cheaper / tried&true.

r/Breadit • View on Reddit →I love the Cuisinart Pro Classic model - it's relatively small, easy to clean and plenty powerful for me. I use the slicing disk for apple desserts, coleslaw or scalloped potatoes, the grating disk for carrots or cheese, and the all purpose blade for pastry, salsa, hummus, mayonnaise, cashew 'cheese' for vegan kid... Google says £55 to £70. A lighter duty and cheaper option might an immersion blender - it's great for puréed soups, smoothies and you can make mayo if you have a steady hand for drizzling

r/Cooking • View on Reddit →Dicing is a problem , cuisinart has a dicing kit but I am not sure how good it is. I feel Manual madolines with dicing blade is good bet if you are specifically looking for dicing which is needed for most Indian cooking. I use cuisinart for dough making and grating , fine slicing etc , it works great for that.
