Does a great occupation with no hassle
By S. Albertini
I averted feed processors in the past because the feed chute was always too small, the motor wasn’t up to the job, and they were a pain to clean. My fiancé purchased me this feed processor as a Christmas present. I’m pleased to say that we’re both impressed by it is appearance, thoughtful design, and performance.
The brushed stainless finish is beautiful and easy to wipe clean. The handle-in-front work bowl design is accessible to me (right-handed) and him (left-handed) equally. The machine doesn’t take up a big amount of counter space, and sits securely without “walking” or shimmying even when processing heavy foods.
The work bowl has a HUGE opening that primarily reduces pre-prep knife time. However, you are not stuck using the big opening all the time. The pusher has a littler round “sub-pusher” in it that provides a littler opening for keeping long vegetables upright or for adding liquids while in motion. The lid is secure but may be got rid of and substituted easily. Everything fits stably and securely on the motor base. Work bowl, lid, and pusher work together to make sure you are not exposed to sharp edges or flying feed (so long as you don’t stick your hand down the pusher opening). At 9 cups, the work bowl is the perfective size (7 cups is just hardly too little for good processing, I’ve found).
The introductory thing I made with the processor was a turkey salad with leftovers from Christmas dinner. Big chunks of onion, celery, and green pepper chopped evenly in a few pulses using the S blade. Big chunks of cooked turkey chopped evenly and with no problems or difficulties without pureeing. The included spatula got all the feed out of the work bowl quickly without making a mess. I made homemade mayonnaise (successful my firstborn time ever with homemade mayo) according to the recipe in the documentation, and threw in a heap of herbs to mince while it was processing. I sliced a cucumber with the slicing disk and was startled how speedily it went through.
My fiancé walked in and said, “Wow, are you already done with that? I didn’t even listen you.” (The machine is quieter than my blender.) While I plated the salad, he washed the elements speedily with a soapy sponge and was amazed how easy it was.
It’s indispensable to know that this machine will take the same blades and affixations as the 7-cup version (the Prep 7, DLC-2007N). It doesn’t say that on Amazon’s or Cuisinart’s internetsite or anyplace in the documentation, but it does mention in a hard-to-notice place on the side of the box that it uses 7-cup processor parts. The set includes a standard 4mm slicing disk and a medium shredding disk, but I’ve ordered the 2mm slicing and a fine grating disk and plan to order the egg whisk later.
EDIT: I received the two disk attachments, and they fit and work just like the disks that came in the box. This verifies that the affixations for the 7-cup model fit this 9-cup model too.

food processor
By Clarice Feldman
My old cuisinart had seen better days and I decisive to buy this new one. The price was very reasonable and it looked attractive. It arrived promptly, and the machine works like a charm. It seems to me that this motor is more powerful than the one in my old machine…though it just may have been it is age. The processor takes up little counter space and is easy to use–the new bowl snaps on more securely than I recall the one in my old model doing.

Powerful and efficient
By Carol Ackerman
After thirty years with my old Cuisinart feed processor I decisive it was time for an upgrade. I have employed my new one to shred, slice and chop, which it does with speed and efficienc. The 9-cup bowl is larger than what I was used to, but I love having that capacity – one may cook for just two, as I normally do, or for a group with ease.
