Cuisinart DLC-8S Pro Custom 11 Cups Food Processor

Pros: Powerful motor; heavy non-slip base; stainless steel blades; 5 year motor warranty
Cons: Poorly designed dual-purpose feed tube

As a cook with decades of experience under her painfully cinched belt, my brand new Cuisinart® Pro Custom 11 appeared to challenge my hard earned title, “Kitchen Kween ~ Dark Mistress of Her Domain”. This bulky apparatus, with its seemingly simple pair...

Pros: great features, long-lasting
Cons: a bit expensive

The Cuisinart Pro Custom food processor is for those people who are serious about quick and easy food preparation. Your "level of seriousness" is tested immediately when you look at the price tag. At $199, the unit is certainly not cheap but I think...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean, and it gets the job done QUICKLY!
Cons: Storage can be dicey.

My husband got the Cuisinart Procustom 11 food processor for me two Christmases ago. It has not left its honored space on my counter since, in spite of a severe lack of counter space. Along with my mixer, I consider it an absolute necessity in my...

Pros: Perfect size, durable, powerful
Cons: None

If you cook at all, you need a processor. Period. It makes the mundane tasks associated with food preparation easy and fun. Why is this important? Well, dinner is one of the few times of day that we can be with our loved ones, and arguing over whose...

Pros: versatile, durable, efficient
Cons: blades can be dangerous

By all accounts, I'm a pretty horrendous cook, but I would be much worse without my Cuisinart Custom 11. Not only does slicing, dicing and julliening by hand take a long time, it's hard to do them well without practice, and quite frankly, I don't have...

Pros: to many things to list here
Cons: the food tube is hard to clean, but if you soak it is not to bad.

I bought myself this food processor for my birthday three years ago. I am one of those odd women who actually love getting kitchen gadgets as gifts. I was looking for an easy way to make salsa, pesto, and puree'd fruits in large quantities. I make large...

Pros: Powerful, easy to use, large capacity, capable of a wide variety of functions
Cons: large (you need counter space), somewhat expensive, may challenge your anti-yuppie snobbery

It all started with the peanut butter.

I loathe store-brand peanut butter and won't feed my kids the goop made with sugar, salt, and enough preservatives to embalm a small dog. So I buy the expensive health food store brands, where the only...

Pros: Powerful tool that saves you time and effort
Cons: None

I grew up using a Cuisinart, therefore my opinion of its invaluable worth may be biased. However, this is my all-time favorite kitchen appliance for several reasons.

First, it takes the place of grating anything by hand. I choose to grate...

Pros: powerful motor, blade assortment, safety feature, reliability, heavy steady basement
Cons: relatively small loading hole, which makes pre-cutting necessary, sometimes I wish we had a 14 cup model; round blades are sometimes hard to clean in the corners

My wife wanted a food processor and when we got an electric grill as a Christmas gift, we returned it to Sears and bought Cuisinart Pro Custom 11. It has five blades: plastic dough blade, metal dicing knives, thin and thick slicing blades and a shredder....

Pros: Power, capacity
Cons: Cleanup

My mother has had a Cuisinart for nearly twenty years. It never occurred to me to have a kitchen without one. It still doesn't -- my Cuisinart is essential to our frequent cooking lifestyle.

First of all, this thing has power. Nothing stops...

Pros: Large 11 cup capacity, simple to use
Cons: Cost

Okay, I must admit, after drewling over the Cuisinart many times I always walked away because of the price tag that came with it...but I finally did it, I bought it and kick myself for not buying it earlier!
In case you are wondering, these are...

Pros: Does what it says, strong motor, sharp blades
Cons: none

I was looking for the food processor that I would only have to buy once.
I've had it with trying to save a few dollars and then settling for something that doesn't work well. I had talked to a few friends who had Cuisinart food processors and they...

Pros: the range of jobs it can tackle
Cons: it is big and heavy

I wanted a Cuisinart for years but every time I got close to having enough to buy it, something always seemed to come up. I did have an Oskar for years, which wasn't bad but I hated how small the bowl was.

When I did buy my Cuisinart, it was...

Pros: Easy to use, clear instructions, included blades offer versatility, and decent selection of included recipes
Cons: Plastic parts are fragile and expensive to replace

Growing up, we had a Cuisinart DLC-8S 11 Cup Pro Custom Food Processor in the kitchen for over two decades, and I recently purchased my own from Macy’s. I do a lot of cooking that requires slicing, pureeing, blending large amounts of liquid ingredients, ...

Pros: Excellent food processor; quiet;versatile
Cons: Overpriced; larger than necessary

This food processor is an excellent appliance for any kitchen, but unless you are preparing foods for a very large family, you would probably be better off with the DLC-5 which is a 7-cup model that is almost identical in all other respects to the DLC-8....
