Great Product

I've had a Magimix in the past which was good but I thought I'd go for this one this time and I've had it for a couple of months now and it is fantastic. OK it does't have a juicing attachment but they don't juice great any way, better off buying one of those seperately. This Food Processor is so robust, doesn't shake when you use it, it is so heavy. It is very stylish too. It has a dough button which is incredibly handy, it also has a whisk but these are so strong that I do all my cakes with it and they come out perfect every time (alittle handy tip though, make sure you put all the mixture in the processor first then put the beaters in). The dough blade is stainless steel and makes great bread, I even rise mine in the bowl covered up in the airing cupboard. The plastic bowl is strong as well and all the stainless steel is strong and of excellent quality. Cuisinart must be confident that it won't break down because it has a 20 yr warrenty. I noticed that the lid doesn't have any grooves like the Magimix so it is alot easier to clean. This is well worth the price, you will not be displeased with this.

Flimsy, plastic rubbish!

Do not buy this food processor. The bowl broke the first time we used it. We purchased a replacement bowl, which took three weeks to arrive. However, it was no good as it didn't have the small piece of plastic on the bottom that presses down the"go" button on the unit. We did a"heath robinson" bodge job on it and thought,"Oh well, at least the blender will still work properly", only to find that where it had been stored upright in the cupboard, somehow the base of the blender had cracked and broken and won't sit on the unit. This whole thing has been a total waste of money. It is made of horrible, brittle, cheap plastic and is so flimsy as to make it useless. We wish we had not bothered to purchase such a cheap food processor and wish that we had gone straight for a magimix or kitchen devil. The only reason we thought this would be a good one to start with was the fact that it had been endorsed by James Martin, but our best advice to him is, find a more reputable company and endorse their products instead.
