Cuisinart Food Processor 14 Cup DFP-14BCWNY

Reviews are so sketchy these days so it's no wonder trying to find a quality product is anxiety inducing. People do not take the time to look something over before trying to assemble it. The user manual and instruction booklet are in the description in PDF format and are printable. I might add they are also quite detailed. This was a common complaint in the reviews, "no instructions". It's been a number of years since there were user manuals included with a product. We had a Cuisinart food processor in 2019 but was enticed away by the bells and whistles of the Ninja all in one and gave it away in favor of the Ninja. Big mistake, less than 8 months later our food processor bowl fell apart, after they sent us 4 replacement bowls that didn't fit they replaced the entire system with the same one they said no longer existed, it was a 2 1/2 month nightmare. Five years later the replacement Ninja was no longer usable the blender jug and food processor bowl was cracked and leaked. We take care of our things and hand washed the bowl and all parts so the Ninja was not something we were about to re-purchase. We just got this food processor this morning, it is an upgrade from the one we bought in 2019. The bowl is large and will help us in our large batch cooking. Simple and straightforward, quiet and efficient. Contrary to the negative reviews about the bowl being difficult to seat and the lid being hard to put on and lock in place we found that it was an extreme exaggeration. If you look at the base of the machine and line the bowl up with the divots in the bowl you will not have an issue putting it on. The blade goes in after the bowl is seated, not in conjunction with it. The same with the lid, there is a specific way to line it up, and it will easily lock into place and unlock just as easily for that matter if you take the time to look it over. There is no need to wrestle with it. My wife made falafel in it this morning and it worked like a champ! Clean up was very easy as well. We cook 90% of our meals from scratch so we actually use our appliances daily. With our medium sized family of 5 we are always chopping, prepping and spend a great deal of time in the kitchen. I feel the quality and power is here and will keep up with our family's needs. I also feel that this machine will last for years if it is well maintained. Take the time to look at things before you try to assemble them and most definitely before leaving a bad review. When others are looking at making a large purchase like this, hasty reviews are not helpful. With inflation and horrible products on the market that are junk it's hard enough to make an informed decision without having to sort through negative things that are most often user error not the product itself.

Because of the French macarons, I finally took the plunge and bought a food processor. I saw a review of the Cuisinart DFP-14NRY Custom 14 Food Processor by America's Test Kitchen and that was what swayed me to go with this food processor. At first I was going to buy a smaller version that was also rated #1 by ATK, but my hubby convinced me to get the 14-cup instead, and I am SO glad I listened to him. I have not owned a real food processor before (I've only been using a small ninja with a top motor and I also have a Vitamix) but I can say that this food processor works like a dream! It runs so smoothly and quietly. It pulverizes almond flour in a few seconds. I have made several batches of French macarons right after I received the food processor and was loving it. The processor came with 3 blades and so far I have used only the shredder one to process zucchini squash. I am in love with this food processor, and I love that the red color is only used as accents rather than color the whole base with red. It looks beautiful on my granite counter top!

Este aparato es una maravilla en la cocina: permite procesar una gran cantidad de alimentos por vez y lo hace muy bien. Desde que se compró se le ha dado un uso semi-rudo: se utiliza tres o cuatro veces por semana para moler varios kilos de un mismo tipo de producto alimenticio (frijoles, que son alimentados al procesador a temperatura relativamente alta) y no se ha presentado ningún problema, es muy rápido y el motor tiene una gran potencia de trituración. Tenía algunas dudas por su construcción (que es principalmente de plástico), pero después de usarlo por varios meses, puedo constatar que su construcción es robusta y adecuada. En resumen, recomiendo completamente este producto: es un gran complemento para cualquier cocina (incluso comercial); seguramente los demás artículos que vende la marca Cuisinart deben ser de buena calidad, tal como éste.

Me encanta su color, su forma de trabajar , los discos rallan perfecto . Es sencillo de usar, tiene gran capacidad. Lo uso para hacer salsas, picar verdura, hacer pasta. Es un aparato y una marca que desquita lo que vale.

Excelente e ideal para las cremas de semillas
