Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic Food Processor

Continues The Cuisinart Tradition In A Slimmed Down Form

Strengths: Two piece blades, lightweight, DVD instruction disk

Weakness: Does not appear to be the same amperage as the earlier DLC-10E that it is replacing. Made in China.

We purchased this model to replace our DLC-10E which is about 30 years old. The bowl on the old one cracked and although I ordered a "direct replacement", it did not fit properly and my wife finally wanted a new one. While physically very similar to the older model, this one is a bit lighter and has a thinner AC cord. That would lead me to believe that the motor is not quite a durable as the...

We purchased this model to replace our DLC-10E which is about 30 years old. The bowl on the old one cracked and although I ordered a "direct replacement", it did not fit properly and my wife finally wanted a new one. While physically very similar to the older model, this one is a bit lighter and has a thinner AC cord. That would lead me to believe that the motor is not quite a durable as the earlier one. That may be a bad assumption on my part. The newer model uses a modular system. The drive stem for the disks slides and locks into a plate on the bottom of the disk. This makes for a sure interlock. The system also makes it easier to run the blades through the dishwasher as there is no stem getting in the way. If this unit lasts as long as the prior one, we will be quite happy. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality processor at a reasonable price.

Good stuff

Strengths: Extra accessories, great power

Weakness: Ugly design and small food feeder

This one is my first food processor. Did a research online and found out that this model seems to be the best among its level (mid-size). Well, 7-cup capacity is OK for one or two people, but if you host party from time to time, it might be too small. I know it's the "classic" model, but gee, this processor really looks like 1980s stuff. Good thing is it has 5 year warranty with a lot of...

I know it's the "classic" model, but gee, this processor really looks like 1980s stuff. Good thing is it has 5 year warranty with a lot of accessories. You can chop, slice even dealing with flour and stuff. I have to whine about the small food feeder, which makes you pre-cut a lot. Other than that, I'd say this one is pretty good.

Good Value For Money

Strengths: Comes with a wide assortment of accessories making it useful for a large number of tasks and the 7 cup size makes it just right for a small family.

Weakness: I don't really like the color of the machine (white easily gets stained). All accessories are too expensive so if anything breaks it would cost a lot to replace.

I have used this to knead dough, shred carrots and other odd jobs in the kitchen. I wish it also came with a mini bowl (like similar Kitchen Aid models do) to do smaller jobs when needed. I was looking for a fine shredder blade and was shocked to discover that costs a third the price I paid for the whole machine. Crazy.

great ustencil to have in the kotchen

Strengths: great quality, does the job very well

Weakness: could use more accessories, need to buy them separately

I got this to as I got tired of chopping vegetables manually, what a time saver! I also use it to grind meat. Great build and quality. The only drawback is add-on accessories are quite expensive.

The Cuisinart is a nice appliance...

Strengths: Great for making prep work in quantity for parties or a get together

Weakness: Takes up space on the counter

The Cuisinart is a nice appliance to have if you need to cut,shred,chop,and slice fast but cleaning the blade attachments by hand can take up some of your time. If you need to cut a few vegetables then it is best to cut with a trusty knife. I bought this to chop and minced meat. It did very well. Although you need to be careful not to over minced or chopped it. Be careful to shield the white...

If you need to cut a few vegetables then it is best to cut with a trusty knife.
I bought this to chop and minced meat. It did very well. Although you need to be careful not to over minced or chopped it. Be careful to shield the white surface with some cloth or paper towel because if you use it to shred any vegetable such as beet or carrot, it can stain the white surface base.
I'm glad they include the free videotape which is very helpful. It is pretty much easy to use once you get a hang of it.
The performance is great. Hopefully it will last long.
