Food Processor, Pro Custom 11 Cup, Brushed Chrome, DLC-8SBCYP1

I finally had to replace my 25 + yo Cuisinart food processor due to the bowl wearing out. A replacement bowl was not available. The new one does not disappoint! Works great. Super strong motor.

Nice food processor. Good size. Great power. Nice and sturdy, good attachments, cleans easily in the dishwasher..

this thing is awesome it is a workhorse I have made a habanero mango pepper sauce with this thing that came out very good I also made polish horseradish it works great

We replaced our old old DLC-2011* with this model. So many improvements, where to begin? - It's so quiet. Making mayonnaise is a frequent event at our house and this is a pleasure. No more teeth-gritting. -The simple lid without the chute IS A DREAM TO CLEAN -The old model collected a lot of water in the chambers that held the safety mechanism, and the handle. Eventually, this developed mildew (honestly we should've replaced it a long time ago for this reason). This model seems like it will not have this problem. -The safety is a little tight (locking the bowl and getting the lid to activate the safety), this might improve with use. -No dough blade, but then, we never really used that thing. -The chute construction is a little baffling. There's flexible plastic clippy type thing, clear sliding parts, a black pusher. I've yet to use it. It seems okay, and as above with the mildew problem of the old model, seems like it will dry out completely. -Paddle operation is nice. The old model had the plastic covering over buttons which were wearing out and breaking. The paddles will wipe clean, and offer very efficient control (no more button mashing, especially when pulsing). -The cord keeper! Oh, this is a dream. A little strappy thing that means no more winding the cord around the unit to keep it from dangling off the prep table. This is better than a retractable cord that could malfunction. In summary: Well done, product engineers. Honestly, I considered one of those other units that does all the things like spiralizing etc. but this Cuisinart is a trusty workhorse. It's simply well designed, it does what it does perfectly, and our $20 hand-spiralizer works just fine.

This is a sturdy machine that's working well for our large family. We used it this week to make coleslaw and also to make shred up some potatoes and onions for latkes. It works quickly and concisely once in use, but it really is a lot to get started with and set up. It's a very long-term, well-built machine, but it's also very heavy. Heavy can be good for a quality motor, but it's a bit cumbersome to move about and store in the kitchen. I love the larger size jar for 11 cups, although we still fill it faster than we expect to. It's a big upgrade over our former 6-cup processor though, so we are pleased. Not the easiest to clean, but can go in the dishwasher, which is a help. I do just wish it didn't have quite so many moving parts! At least the operational buttons are straightforward and simple. I have found disappointment when shredding onions - it's very normal for them to leave long, thick skins that aren't shreded.

Just received my Cuisinart DLC-8SBCYP1 food processor. I haven't had a chance to run it through its paces yet, will be doing so shortly. This review is based on first impressions after unboxing. First off, this is built like a tank. I was concerned, based on other reviews, that the bowl was going to be thin and fragile. Well, it's not. I have a Cuisinart Little Pro Plus (3-cup) that is at least 30 years old and going strong. The bowl wall on that measures about 2.4mm. The bowl wall on this new one is 2.9mm, likely closer to 3mm. So it is thicker and VERY solid. The blade discs are all very heavy and you can feel the balance from the weights. I was under the impression this was going to be a brushed aluminum casing, but it is just plastic with a brushed aluminum look to it. Not bad, it looks nice. Something else, Amazon shows this model is 220V. It is in fact 120V/60Hz. I wasn't sure what to think, but based on research, it seemed that Amazon had their facts incorrect in the description. So I took a slight chance ordering it, but my hunch/research proved correct. The paddle switches seem just a tiny, tiny bit janky, but I think they will hold up fine as long as you don't consistently reef on them.

Having just purchased this food processor, I expected the best from Cuisinart! (silly me!). The flat lid arrived with a sticker glued onto it which wouldn't come off. I used a razor blade scraper, and after much effort I was able to remove the paper part of the sticker, but not the glue. After trying to remove it for 10 min. I finally decided to call the company. They obviously don't want to talk to customers because the customer care phone number is hidden in the product manual after the recipes. When I called them, the rep. had no idea how to solve the problem, but I was told later to rub the glue with a cloth and vegetable oil. Is that standard advice? I know it's a "little" thing, but Really!! All of the other stickers and notices were put on in a way that came right off. Why the difference with only one? And why the DIY answer to solve the problem? I expect a new product to be user-ready right out of the box. I guess I was wrong! This is the last Cuisinart product I will buy, not because the product doesn't work, but because they show no interest in providing a hassle-free product nor vigorous customer care. What if I had a serious problem? .............

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Doesn't overcomplicate it. There is a shredding attachment and a blending blade and two speeds. It does one thing well instead of trying to add on unhelpful features

Just worked for a minute thats it stopped, never worked again

A workhorse, needs little counter space, gets the job done. Favorite "gadget".

No se por qué no la tenía antes, me ahorra demasiado tiempo al momento de preparar. La Amo!

I had another Cuisinart food processor for many years and had I been able to get the part I broke, I would still be using it. The Cuisinart brand has always been reliable.

Excelente producto. Recomiendo ver en YouTube el video para sacar el máximo de provecho.
