2 out of 5 stars Flying machine and melting plastic   August 30, 2008
zane addison (Miami, Florida)
I have used many food processors before, I do not use them harshly, I was even able to use my very cheap first mini processor for 3 years. Yet, this is by far the worst I had.

Pros: 1.Very powerful machine that this strength cause trouble for you.
2. Being able to use a 2-in-1 machine
3. Several buttons for different tasks

Cons: 1. The machine parts, although supposedly strong and appropriate for dishwasher, is not safe to put in at all. The food processor's clear plastic bowl melted in the first wash and have taken an oval shape in the dishwasher, and I do not even use heated dry. I had to squeeze it to fit the lid on it for each time I use it.

2. Extremely loud. My son can never stay asleep upstairs once I start it, pretty similar to a strong vacuum cleaner in noise level.

3. Machine is so powerful, so when you actually process food, which it is supposed to do well, you have to hold on the machine very tight with both hands, otherwise, the machine can fly (I mean literally) especially if you are processing hard food such as dry bread, onions, or nuts, or trying to make dips.

4. That typical burning smell that all cuisinart processors that I used have. It begins after 5-6 seconds you start.

Just beware and if possible, choose another one.

Cuisinart BFP-703 SmartPower Duet Blender/Food Processor, White

A fine idea, Poor execution! Mine lasted three months. It failed while under warranty. I called Cuisinart, there solution? I should pack it, pay to ship it, and include $10.00 for them to mail it back, after they fixed it. And they offered no warrenty about the repair.

No "we are sorry that our $80.00 item is in fact an expensive paper weight designed to break." Instead, they feel that I should pay more than 20% of the original cost to get them to maybe fix it right. Stay away from this product and this company.



4 out of 5 stars We like it so far!   June 18, 2008
K. Gollaher (Silicon Valley, CA)
We've had it for a little while now. We've made smoothies and used the cuisinart blades to chop veggies. The blades are super sharp so be careful! The time savings by using this unit versus chopping by hand can be somewhat diminished because you then have to spend time cleaning the unit. However, when doing large quantities of chopping, it's very useful. When using the product as a blender, it seems to perform just as well as any other blender we've owned. We still experienced the smell of the motor as we were trying to get all those chunks of frozen fruit blended. It's definitely not a powerhouse such as the type they have a Jamba Juice but it will work fine for our occasional smoothie making times.

All in all, it's a decent product for the price paid.

Again RED to match my decor, perfect. But the functions of this blender/processor are unlimited. I love it.


4 out of 5 stars Extremely Loud   April 2, 2008
Y. Sorin (New York, NY)
My only complaint is that its LOUD AS HELL - seriously, I read other reviews that mentioned it was noisy, but I wasn't expecting this level of noise. I used the food processor the other night around 9:00 PM and felt horrible for my neighbors who I am sure heard it - my dog was terrified. If noise level is important to you, look for another product. Otherwise, its pretty great.
