Best Food Processor For Meat

★★★★★ I am so glad that I finally purchased my Cuisanart 14 cup food processor. It took me months of reading and watching videos to finally decide to buy this brand of food processor. I have not been disappointed one bit! I was really thinking I should save and get a Breville. But I made the plunge that fit my budget much better. I have made pizza dough that turned out wonderful and so fast. I make cauliflower rice all the time. It is so fast and easy. It’s definitely better to try to have your floweretts all cut about the same size. I make butter every week which is delicious and fun and I make home made peanut butter that my husband loves. I also have used it now several times for pie dough and empanada dough. It is super fast and easy and has turned out perfectly every time. It is very sturdy and doesn’t move at all on the counter while I make my dough. It also grates cheese evenly and with very little waste.. Clean up is pretty easy too. I wash it right after I use it, in hot soapy water and rinse well. The only complaint I have is that there are a couple of places that you can’t get in with a towel to dry. But I have found if I just leave it out on a towel for a few hours exposed to the air, those dry completely as well. Also, I have found that if I dry it with a tea towel it comes out shiny and new looking. I don’t use it for chopping garlic, but I tried it once and it worked. It’s just easier to do that by hand with little clean up afterward. I wanted to cover these points for you to hopefully make your decision faster than mine. It works just great and is much more budget friendly. I am very happy with my purchase.

★★★★★ Running Review: Very High Build Quality. First impressions of the machine are quite positive and I’ll focus mostly on the build quality.Build:Well into the realm of “I didn’t think they built stuff like this anymore.” Very high quality injection molding throughout. The motor is well balanced: very quiet in operation compared to other food processors i’ve used and very little vibration noted. You can see forging and work hardening lines in the stainless steel attachments. No signs of warping in the lexan. Very good loose interference fit at the feed tube plungers. Overall the industrial design and workmanship of this unit is on par with Zojirushi appliances or Kitchen-Aid mixers.Ergonomics:I like simple food processors. This one is simple in operation. On and off/pulse with high leverage switches. Perfect. The locking mechanisms work well so far without needless faffing. I wish the smaller feed tube was a little larger. The larger feed tube disengages the motor so operations like adding tahini or other messier items slowly have a higher chance of spillage or require a spouted container. I’m suspicious about how easy it will be to trap gunk around the locking mechanisms. I’m also suspicious that there isn’t any sort of loading mechanism to keep the chopping blade in place.Ease of cleaning: The manual recommends washing all pieces in the dishwasher. I don’t have a newer dishwasher with neat little compartments to keep blades from being knocked around so the chopping blade will get hand washed. I’ll update the review to assess how the lexan holds up from several months of dishwashing. I’m not a fan of the stainless steel fascia the machine has since I’d rather have white plastic appliances for their ease of cleaning and smaller visual weight.Power and results: The first thing I made in this machine was a large batch of hummus. Outstanding power and very quiet. The results were extremely smooth. I think I’ll be able to knead dough or make a fine pesto just fine. I’ll update on milling uniformity, grating, and slicing when I try those.

★★★★★ Simply the best. My 25 year old Cuisinart 12 cup finally wore out. I purchased an off brand machine on sale. It was worthless. It couldn’t chop or puree evenly. It was lightweight and underpowered. I returned it and ordered a larger Cuisinart. The new 14 cup Cuisinart food processor is very similar to the last one, slightly larger but always gives excellent results. There is a reason it is a bit more pricey, it is made well and works well.

★★★★★ A substantial and effective kitchen tool. I was hesitant to buy this food processor based on some of the reviews I saw concerning broken parts and difficulty in using it, but the professional sources rate it very highly. When it went on sale, I pulled the trigger and I’m really glad I did. This is a very hefty piece of equipment. It has performed beautifully for everything I’ve done with it so far, including chopping vegetables, grinding meat and pureeing sauces. I had a less expensive model from another brand which I hesitated to use because it performed poorly enough that it wasn’t worth the cleanup effort. This one is such a pleasure to use I no longer hesitate to pull it out of the cupboard. Like any food processor, it does take a bit of effort to clean, but this one is no worse than the two I’ve owned previously.

★★★★★ old school processor. Excellent food processor. Flat top, and you don’t have to have that thing sticking up, to throw in veggies. I love that. It’s a heavy base, and heavy duty. I make hummus all the time, and vegan cheese. It is amazing. EAsy to clean. Analogue. No digital BS. Highly recommend. I got the 7 cup.

★★★★☆ Best in class. After my faithful KitchenAid food processor I’ve had for 20 years died, I began searching for a new one. The current KitchenAid model is so freakishly tall it won’t fit on my shelf, and this one had great reviews, so I decided to try it. The size is just right, I can’t imagine anything smaller being useful. The motor is powerful and it works well, things were processed and chopped crazy fast. The plastic work bowl seems a little cheap, and not super intuitive to lock into place, my husband had to come help me wrangle it loose a few times in the beginning. I wish there were different sizes of slicing and grating blades too, but the ones included have worked well for what I needed so far.

★★★★★ Easy to use. This is a replacement for one that died a while ago, after a long life. This one is simpler, as it starts immediately, without having to adjust the connection with the bowl. Smooth performance. Seems solidly built. Love it!!

★★★★★ The product is probably great, but I haven’t had the chance to try it because it is not adapted for the EU market. I couldn’t plug it in, so unfortunately I had to return it

★★★★★ Prompt delivery.After my third inexpensive food processor I decided to upgrade to this Cuisinart food processor. I couldn’t be happier! Very powerful motor. Even cuts. Makes meal prep a breeze.And very quiet. I highly recommend it.

★★★★★ Me encanta su color, su forma de trabajar , los discos rallan perfecto .Es sencillo de usar, tiene gran capacidad. Lo uso para hacer salsas, picar verdura, hacer pasta. Es un aparato y una marca que desquita lo que vale.

★★★★★ Me gusto mucho el procesador, la base es bastante pesada para mover facilmente, supongo que es para estabilidad del aparato, funciona bien, aunque hay que usarla no tan llena, porque luego quedan algunos trozos grande, yo los aparto y los proceso despues aparte para evitar sobreprocesar todo lo demás. Los rayadores aun no los he usado porque tengo otro procesador para eso, aunque me hubiera gustado que tuviera una pieza para almacenar los discos y toda esa parte de los rayadores cuando no se usan, sin embargo son piezas que se venden por separado y a un precio no tan economico. En si el aparato tiene buena pinta, fácil de usar y lavar, y hasta el momento no he tenido problemas, he picado carne, zanahorias, betabel (que son duros), entre otras cosas y todo ha funcionado bien.

★★★★★ I bought this food processor to replace one I already had. The one I had previously was exactly the same model and size. I have had three food processors in the last 35 years or so….the first one was a RoboCoupe and that company was bought out by Cuisinart. The last two were Cuisinart…the original one lasted 25 years and needed to be replaced because the bowl cracked. The second one, the Cuisinart one, lasted 11 years and the motor and everything was great, but the bowl cracked. I cook a lot and use the appliance numerous times in a week. It can handle a lot due to the larger motor, has a small footprint for easy storage, and is easy to clean. I like the bowl size of this machine, the size of the motor, and the construction of the machine. There are some cheaper models from Cuisinart that are made entirely of plastic and have very small motors. Buyer beware. I find the bowl capacity good for what I use it for, but I don’t use it for making bread as I have a KitchenAid mixer and due to the issue with the bowl I will not be grating cheese with it or using it for anything that creates quick torque on the bowl. I called to replace the bowl when it cracked, but the suggestion was to replace the bowl and the lids which would have cost almost a hundred dollars. Even though there are a few minor issues, I feel it is a great machine.

★★★★★ Perfect. I had a small 8 cup Hamilton Beach processor that lacked power and was very noisy, when the shredding disk broke for the second time in a year I decided to find something better. I went with a Cuisinart 11 cup, which I really wanted to like, but due to the flimsiness of the food chute and food pusher I didn’t feel as if it would last long so I returned it. Yes, this Breville 12 cup is more expensive, but the food chute and the food pushers are so much more sturdy and substantial that the extra money is well spent.This food processor is sturdy, powerful, and very fast! There are different size chutes you can choose, depending on the size of food you are working with. I love dialing down the adjustable blade (love this blade!) to paper thin and placing zucchini and cucumbers sideways so I can make long paper thin slices which are perfect for rollups/sandwiches, zucchini lasagne noodles, and layered salads. Also nice for making your own French style green beans. The food chute is wide and roomy!The adjustable disk, set to #6, slices the perfect burger tomato slice, no more tomato mush!! There is also a setting for storage keeping fingers safe for storing and washing. The reversible shredding disk works very well for shredding cheeses, cabbage, zucchini, or carrots. One size is large, other side is for smaller size shredding.I have been having so much fun using this food processor! It has worked out wonderfully on everything I have thrown at it. The plastic bowl and latches are nicer than what I found on the Cuisinart, it’s a bit taller than their 11 cup which makes it harder to store under the cupboards, but I found it fits perfect with the lid on it if I take the food pushers out of the food chute. I just set them next to the food processor on the counter. There is also a hidden cord storage inside of the base. Just pull the core out through the side when you want to use it then push the cord back inside when finished to help keep your counters neat and tidy.I received a dough blade, chopping blade with blade storage, spatula, adjustable slicing blade, and reversible shredding disk. There is also a removable spindle to use with the blades and disks that doesn’t fall off while emptying the bowl. Very nice food processor, I am so glad I upgraded to this one. It looks great, is well made, and most importantly works excellent!

★★★★★ Why you want Breville instead of Cuisinart. This is a long review and you deserve to have my credentials. I am an ex-Cuisinart owner. The first food processor I bought (because I didn’t know any better; see below) was the Cuisinart Pro and I suffered with that machine for 10 years until the detachable stem broke, liberating me from Cuisinart design flaw hell and allowing me to rush into the arms of Breville, a company MUCH smarter about design. I bought the Breville two years ago and, literally, finally understood why people love food processors so much. My husband and I love this machine so much that when a family emergency recently required us to convert to a commuter marriage, we bought a second Breville so that neither of us would have to go without. It would have been cheaper to get a Cuisinart Prep 9 or a KitchenAid, but the Breville is so superior in design and materials that there was just no way ethically that we could justify supporting another one of those crappy machines into production.If you’ve never owned a food processor before or if you’re looking to replace your Cuisinart, let me make this simple: Cuisinart $uck$ for making anything liquid and Breville doesn’t. If you’ve never owned or used a food processor before, it’s a little bit tough to see what I’m talking about in the product pictures, but basically the Cuisinart work bowl has a giant opening in the center. The chopping blade (which you will use for most things) fits over this hole to attach to the drive train. However, it’s not a water-tight or air-tight fit. AND.. the height of the rim of that hole is MUCH lower than the max capacity of the work bowl. SO… if you are making sauces or dressings or anything else liquid, it will get under the work blade and drain out of that hole making a huge mess and wasting whatever yummy thing you are putting together. Additionally, in the scenario where you are making something liquid and the level is higher than the chopping blade, the blade is essentially the “lid” over that hole and it is NOT secure. Because of this, when you pour the sauce/liquid out of your work bowl you have to hold the blade in place so that your liquid doesn’t leak out of the hole and also so that the blade doesn’t just plop out while you’re pouring. If you’re working with something hot, this is a particularly tricky and problematic maneuver. When you use your Cuisinart shredder and slicer blades, they click into the detachable stem and that stem then goes through the hole in the work bowl to attach to the drive train. Again, this is NOT a liquid or water tight seal to the workbowl. If you already have liquid in the work bowl at a higher level than something you are shredding or slicing, you won’t be able to just trade out the chopping blade for the slicer or shredder blade and party on. The liquid will completely run out and the detachable stem will not seal the hole. That stem clicks on and off of the blades and is a device prone to failure in a number of ways. It was actually the stem breaking on my old Cuisinart that liberated me from my Cuisinart. Yes, I probably could have just replaced the detachable stem, but I’d been looking for an excuse to liberate myself from this crappy product for years, so the stem failing actually did me a favor. It is worth noting that this design flaw persists across ALL Cuisinart food processors regardless of model. It’s a STUPID issue and I can only think that the reason Cuisinart is able to keep selling these products is that people don’t know they are needlessly suffering. I’m guessing a lot of food processor newbies make that investment like I did and then are stuck with it and then when it comes time to replace it, they go with what they know. DO NOT BE A CUISINART SUCKER!Yes, I know.. so far this seems like a review for Cuisinart and not Breville. But you have to understand the issue with the Cuisinart to really, really appreciate the Breville. With the Breville, the drive train is beautifully integrated to the work bowl in a waterproof element. There is NO WAY that this thing is going to leak, whether you are using the chopping blade or the slicer or shredder. The 1,000-watt motor is more powerful than the motors in all of Cuisinart’s products except the Elite line and as quiet as a food processor can be. On the counter, Breville’s sleek design and small footprint makes it easy to keep in ready reach… where you’ll want it.. because once you figure out that a food processor does not have to be a massive pain in the a$$ to work with, you’ll want to use it all the time.Yes, Breville is slightly more expensive than Cuisinart. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET PAYING A LITTLE BIT EXTRA for the dramatically better design of this product. You will have this machine for a LONG time. What is the price of needless suffering? I’m not sure, but I’m guessing it’s a lot more than the difference between the Breville and Cuisinart, especially when amortized over ten or more years.Don’t be a Cuisinart sucker. Refuse to support crappy design. Buy the Breville. You won’t regret it.

★★★★★ Powerfull processor. I purchased this to replace a 15 year old Cuisinart which was a real work horse in my kitchen. It needed a replacement part which was permanently unavailable. So it was time to retire the machine. I thought I would definitely get a Cuisinart but after reading the reviews and talking to a friend who owns a Breville, I decided to do a hands on comparison in a local store.What a difference in the solid feel of the Breville parts. The bowl was much thicker and appeared to have a better seal with a rubber gasket. Of course it is a pricer product but if it is a better, quieter machine it was worth a try.Fantastic, superior shredding and slicing over the Cuisinart and no issues with blending wet ingredients (no leakage!) I am very happy with my choice of the Breville 12 cup.One word of warning… Tell all of your dishwashing helpers DO NOT PUT THE LARGE PUSHER IN THE DISHWASHER!!! It will distort the plastic and will you will require a new one which has to be ordered (Amazon doesn’t offer it)

★★★★★ *Edit. Used my processor for the first time. It’s very noisy, but also powerful. Easy to set up and use. I used the fine shredding disc and it even did onions beautifully, and no waste! Easy to clean. I am beyond pleased.Just recieved this food processor. The building attendant pushed the box (big enough to put a large person in) into my apartment and took everything out for me. It’s packed like Russian nesting dolls in 3 boxes, one smaller than the next, so no way is this going to be damaged. First the heavy discs came out. Really heavy duty, and handles…no more putting fingers in round circles! Then, the bowl, all marked like a measuring cup. A thing of beauty, and everything appears to be very sturdily made. The attendant then hefted the gorgeous bottom onto my counter where it will live. It’s too tall to fit under my counter with the lid on in the correct but set in upside down it works. The 3 sizes of pusher openings are great. Honestly, I have to say this is the most beautiful appliance I’ve ever had. Even the bloody cord end is unique! Thrre is a hoke so you can pull it out without yanking and putting a strain on the end. It better also be the best working because there is no way on earth I can get this back into the box on my own let alone return it. You really need to be a body builder or put it in one spot right by an electrical outlet and let it live there. Send prayers that it works.

★★★★★ After our old one gave out I decided to spend a little more money and buy a better brand. It’s very easy to assemble and it isn’t rocket science to operate it. At first when I started it up I thought it was making an unusal noise, but after watching a few Youtube videos I realized it was normal. It isn’t really that loud. We love the adjustable slicing blade. Overall we’re happy with the product.

★★★★★ I have used food processors since the mid 1980s. I have gone through 5… maybe 6 of them? This is definitely a huge step up; lot of money for a kitchen tool, but wow.: what a performance. The bowl is larger than my previous one which is great – perfect for soups, batter, and sausage emulsions. And so easy to clean! The chopping blade is super-efficient: did garlic and jalapenos last night, and I ever never seen a machine chop so evenly. The slicing blade has an adjustable knob so you can vary thicknesses… AWESOMNESS! And it works great! I have not yet tried the grater. Oh and also: the machine is so much more quiet than any machine I have owned before! I would very highly recommend it. The base is heavy – such a powerful motor – but that is OK as I leave it permanently on my kitchen counter.

★★★★☆ Easy to assemble. Easy to operate. Very quiet. The motor base is heavier than the others that we’ve which likely reflects quality. Overall the nicest food processor we’ve ever had.However, this unit must be handled with care. The plastic parts seem less durable than the cheap Hamilton Beach unit that we had previously. My daughter accidently dropped the lid while handling it, and it fell to the vinyl floor, and broke. Fortunately, replacement parts are available from the manufacturer.

★★★★★ I have to highly recommend this food processor, works excellent on everything I have tried so far shreddedcabbage, carrots…slicing disc cucumbers and puree applesauce with the chopping blade. I have had aboutthree Cusinarts in my day but this Breville sure out ranks everything. I just wish I had made the purchaseyears ago.Highly recommendLynn

★★★★★ Works great. I researched several food processors and read many reviews before purchasing this food processor. This one is perfect for my kitchen because it has a large bowl, lots of power, suction cups on the bottom to keep the machine from dancing around the countertop, easy to clean, has a bowl scraper(which initially I was indifferent to but am glad it came with it) and works great getting the job done quickly!

★★★★★ Can’t really go wrong for under 50 bucks. This unit is replacing a 10(ish)-year old Hamilton Beach food processor that I had a love/hate relationship with. Finally, enough parts wore out on it that I could justify buying a new one (even though, realistically, it was still working). I wasn’t stuck on the Hamilton Beach name, but this happened to fit my needs and my wallet.I can’t say the unit feels particularly high quality. In fact, when I first took it out of the box, my initial thoughts were that they somehow forgot to put a motor in it. The base of my old one weighed like 5 lbs and this entire setup is a fraction of that. That is likely the reason the quality feels lacking. The switch in particular feels only ok, but for $50, I don’t really have room to complain.Strangely enough, I rarely use it for food. Instead, we use it to grind up soft dog treats into powder to sprinkle over dry dog food to make it more enticing. Enticing, to the dogs, not to us. It tackles this chore with ease. I’ve used it for making hummus and slicing up onions, and it handled both of those jobs like a true champ.The stated capacity is 10 cups, but as is the case with almost all food processors, that is only for dry goods. The liquid capacity is 2 cups, if you go by the line marked on the bowl. I filled the bowl up with water until it was spilling out of the hole in the middle, and it held 6 cups. So figure it’ll easily do 4 liquid cups without spilling down the center shaft, since liquids are thrown outward when the blades are spinning. However, the top is not hermetically sealed to the bowl, so some liquids might dribble out down the sides on high speed if you push past the rated liquid capacity.Honestly, I don’t know how so much power and speed comes from such a lightweight device. The motor noise is not horrendous, but I’ve only had one other food processor to compare it to. It is probably a little quieter than the old one, which is not to say that it is silent. The noise is more of a high speed whirring sound than the throaty growl of the one I retired. It’s almost a hollow sound, which again, does not instill a lot of confidence in the quality. Perhaps I’m just partial to heavy tools. Performance-wise, I can’t think of anything negative to say. The base even has suction cup feet on the bottom to keep it from jumping around the counter.The food scraper is a gimmick, right? I had already made up my mind to never use such an obviously far-reaching add-on before ever taking it out of the box. Then I tried it once. Honestly, I don’t think it has been separated since. It doesn’t scrape down below the height of the blades, but it does clean all that loose stuff off the sides fairly well. The scraper is just made of plastic, but it is well-designed and effective. I now have to wonder why this feature took so long to evolve. :)UPDATE: Over 2 years later and still going strong. We don’t chop as many dog treats with it as we used to. The dogs are old and we have resorted to giving them grilled chicken breast, which we can only chop in small batches or it goes bad. So we use a small chopper. But I have absolutely no complaints about the performance or effectiveness of this product to date.UPDATE: Over 10 years later and still alive. Who even updates a review after 10 years? The food scraper broke a few years back, so that’s long gone. The pusher thing has a crack in it, but I’m sure the culprit was one too many drops on the tile floor and not a design flaw. The rest of it is intact and still runs great. It’s crazy that I doubted the quality of this appliance, and it ended up outlasting the original.

★★★★★ Easy to Use and Powerful. I had a very expensive Cuisinart processor that frustrated me every time I tried to use it. It was much too heavy and hard to carry. The lid and chute were difficult to line up.I purchased the Hamilton Beach and used it today. It was so easy to use, powerful and fast, easy to assemble, and the spiralizer worked flawlessly. I’m so pleased. Today I made shredded cabbage for Cole slaw, zucchini spirals, and used the chopper blade to make fresh salsa. You can’t go wrong with this processor, but reading the manual first is a must to ensure proper use of the attachments.Thank you Hamilton Beach—I’m in love with it and can now toss a lot of unused implements in my pantry because this processor does it all!!!!

★★★★☆ Great product. Works well, feeding hole is decent size, good sharp blades. Cleans easy. it is quite loud and I with there were buttons for pulse instead of a dial but overall, great product.

★★★★★ Great multi-task appliance. Powerful motor – replaced my old food processor and my spiralizer. I read some negative comments about the noise – no problem here. Easy to clean. Good value – I caught this appliance on sale.

★★★★★ Good Service and awesome product. It came broken the top cover, made the return and the same day was shipped, really good customer service. The new one came fine and works great. Really a good deal.

★★★★★ Couldn’t be happier. I am surprised and super happy with this blender. Using it now for almost a year. The combination of price and functionality is perfect. It is lightweight but has very strong sockets at the bottom, preventing the blender from moving. Crazy powerful blending capacity. For my quite basic needs, it’s perfect.

★★★★★ Great processor and NOT too loud! Love the scraper feature. I finally got rid of my ancient processor and bought this one. Love the scrap tool which is featured. Although the scraper doesn’t reach to the bottom, it does help get food off the sides and saves me from having to stop and take the top off to scrap. Works great. AND the sound is not too loud. All of them make a relatively loud sound but it is not overly obnoxious. I’m glad I made this purchase!

★★★★★ The Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper has become an indispensable tool in my kitchen! Whether I’m slicing, shredding, or mincing, this appliance handles it all with ease. The multiple attachments make food preparation a breeze, saving me valuable time and effort in the kitchen. I love how quickly and uniformly it processes ingredients, allowing me to whip up delicious meals in no time. Plus, the compact design means it doesn’t take up much counter space. Overall, I highly recommend this food processor to anyone looking to streamline their cooking process—it’s a game-changer!

★★★★★ Tiene muy buen funcionamiento cumple con mis necesidades

★★★★★ Well made , suction cups stick to counter , very strong ,doesn’t move. Works great for shredding cheese . Have not tried other attachments but I’m sure they work just as great . Glad I purchased this one as I researched many . Love it !

★★★★★ Excelentes materiales y practico, pica rápido, ideal para amas de casa

★☆☆☆☆ Here is the lowdown, the blender worked perfectly for three weeks without any issues. Although each time i went for a bowl of hummus or guacamole i would smell the burning of wires. I was told this is common off Hamilton products! After three weeks the kitchen reeked of burnt and suddenly just stopped working. I contacted the seller who said that less than 6 months and the product is out of warranty. So i took the piece to a local electrician who said the wires burned off. After repairing it, again the kitchen started reeking and the piece went silent on me. I took it again to the electrician who said another part went bad and handed it back too me. I spun it 1 more time and boom it went silent on me.

★★★★★ I am so glad that I finally purchased my Cuisanart 14 cup food processor. It took me months of reading and watching videos to finally decide to buy this brand of food processor. I have not been disappointed one bit! I was really thinking I should save and get a Breville. But I made the plunge that fit my budget much better. I have made pizza dough that turned out wonderful and so fast. I make cauliflower rice all the time. It is so fast and easy.

I wash it right after I use it, in hot soapy water and rinse well. The only complaint I have is that there are a couple of places that you can’t get in with a towel to dry. But I have found if I just leave it out on a towel for a few hours exposed to the air, those dry completely as well. Also, I have found that if I dry it with a tea towel it comes out shiny and new looking. I don’t use it for chopping garlic, but I tried it once and it worked. It’s just easier to do that by hand with little clean up afterward. I wanted to cover these points for you to hopefully make your decision faster than mine. It works just great and is much more budget friendly. I am very happy with my purchase.

★★★★★ old school processor. Excellent food processor. Flat top, and you don’t have to have that thing sticking up, to throw in veggies. I love that. It’s a heavy base, and heavy duty. I make hummus all the time, and vegan cheese. It is amazing. EAsy to clean. Analogue. No digital BS. Highly recommend. I got the 7 cup.

★★★★★ Running Review: Very High Build Quality. First impressions of the machine are quite positive and I’ll focus mostly on the build quality.Build:Well into the realm of “I didn’t think they built stuff like this anymore.” Very high quality injection molding throughout. The motor is well balanced: very quiet in operation compared to other food processors i’ve used and very little vibration noted. You can see forging and work hardening lines in the stainless steel attachments. No signs of warping in the lexan. Very good loose interference fit at the feed tube plungers. Overall the industrial design and workmanship of this unit is on par with Zojirushi appliances or Kitchen-Aid mixers.Ergonomics:I like simple food processors. This one is simple in operation. On and off/pulse with high leverage switches. Perfect. The locking mechanisms work well so far without needless faffing. I wish the smaller feed tube was a little larger.

I’m suspicious about how easy it will be to trap gunk around the locking mechanisms. I’m also suspicious that there isn’t any sort of loading mechanism to keep the chopping blade in place.Ease of cleaning: The manual recommends washing all pieces in the dishwasher. I don’t have a newer dishwasher with neat little compartments to keep blades from being knocked around so the chopping blade will get hand washed. I’ll update the review to assess how the lexan holds up from several months of dishwashing. I’m not a fan of the stainless steel fascia the machine has since I’d rather have white plastic appliances for their ease of cleaning and smaller visual weight.Power and results: The first thing I made in this machine was a large batch of hummus. Outstanding power and very quiet. The results were extremely smooth. I think I’ll be able to knead dough or make a fine pesto just fine. I’ll update on milling uniformity, grating, and slicing when I try those.

★★★★★ Simply the best. My 25 year old Cuisinart 12 cup finally wore out. I purchased an off brand machine on sale. It was worthless. It couldn’t chop or puree evenly. It was lightweight and underpowered. I returned it and ordered a larger Cuisinart. The new 14 cup Cuisinart food processor is very similar to the last one, slightly larger but always gives excellent results. There is a reason it is a bit more pricey, it is made well and works well.

★★★★★ The product is probably great, but I haven’t had the chance to try it because it is not adapted for the EU market. I couldn’t plug it in, so unfortunately I had to return it

★★★★★ Prompt delivery.After my third inexpensive food processor I decided to upgrade to this Cuisinart food processor. I couldn’t be happier! Very powerful motor. Even cuts. Makes meal prep a breeze.And very quiet. I highly recommend it.

En si el aparato tiene buena pinta, fácil de usar y lavar, y hasta el momento no he tenido problemas, he picado carne, zanahorias, betabel (que son duros), entre otras cosas y todo ha funcionado bien.

★★★★★ I bought this food processor to replace one I already had. The one I had previously was exactly the same model and size. I have had three food processors in the last 35 years or so….the first one was a RoboCoupe and that company was bought out by Cuisinart. The last two were Cuisinart…the original one lasted 25 years and needed to be replaced because the bowl cracked. The second one, the Cuisinart one, lasted 11 years and the motor and everything was great, but the bowl cracked. I cook a lot and use the appliance numerous times in a week. It can handle a lot due to the larger motor, has a small footprint for easy storage, and is easy to clean. I like the bowl size of this machine, the size of the motor, and the construction of the machine. There are some cheaper models from Cuisinart that are made entirely of plastic and have very small motors. Buyer beware. I find the bowl capacity good for what I use it for, but I don’t use it for making bread as I have a KitchenAid mixer and due to the issue with the bowl I will not be grating cheese with it or using it for anything that creates quick torque on the bowl. I called to replace the bowl when it cracked, but the suggestion was to replace the bowl and the lids which would have cost almost a hundred dollars. Even though there are a few minor issues, I feel it is a great machine.

★★★★★ Good quality. It took me a while to give my review, because I wanted to use all the options of my new multi-use blender! So far so good! Good quality, everything works as described, normal weight for handling, practical, good size and very convenient to clean and store! Perfect for making work in the home kitchen easier!

★★★★★ Great quality. Update after owning for 1.5 years: I still like this and use it daily. It slices, shreds, blends and mashes very well. I have started making colloidal oatmeal and the food processor (s-blade) can’t do it. I don’t know if it lacks the right design or power, but it does not get it nearly fine enough. I have still made soups, hummus, pesto and more in it with no problems. Also, I said you can attach a mixer to the whisker gear and mix batters. After taking to others who have this, I learned my mixer is not standard sized and standard mixers do not fit on this.Original review: I have owned this for a few weeks, and I have used all of the features at least twice. Each has met or exceeded my expectations. I run a child care center from home, so I bought this to simplify the prep work since I make all of our meals from scratch. It has not disappointed. The first thing I noticed is that all components are well made. Both plastic and steel parts are thick and solid and I’m not concerned about it falling apart. The blades are all VERY sharp, as the instructions caution on almost every page. I set the s-blade down after washing it and my son tried to scoot it over on the counter. He didn’t even realize he’d been cut until he saw blood, it’s so sharp. The stand that holds it all together for storage is good, but it would be better if it held the whisk. You’re supposed to set the whisk on top of everything else, which doesn’t keep it in place. Everything else stays in place very well. Some reviewers have talked about the motor overheating, but mine has never even felt warm. I’ve had never used an immersion blender before this, so I’m still figuring it out, but I can make smoothies and milkshakes pretty well with this. It creates a better consistency than my full size blender and it allows my kids to customize their smoothie orders, since I can use it, rinse it (unplug first!) and dip it into a new mixing cup. I also made a smooth and creamy broccoli cheese soup with this, and my family loved it.The food processor replaced several small, manual kitchen gadgets for me. I barely use a knife and board now, since the slicing blade and bowl are so easy to assemble and clean. I’ve sliced and shredded a wide variety of veggies and all have come out perfect. I realized I love this machine when I got sick and made myself veggie soup (6 different veggies) with about 5 minutes of prep time.The potato masher works very well for rustic mashed potatoes, which is how I like them. I used the creamy setting just to review it, and I would rate it 7 out of 10 for smoothness.This whisk whisks just as it should. My favorite thing about it is that the whisk detaches from the spinner, and a mixer can be attached. Breville does not discuss or recommend this in the instructions, but it works. I’ve been using it for mixing muffin, cake and brownie batters. The lowest setting is still fast, so I’d never use this for anything that needs gentle mixing. For my budget, this was quite an investment but I have a Breville juicer (which was a gift) so I figured it would be of really good quality. It is, and I’m glad I bought it. I would gift this to friends for weddings or housewarming parties.

★★★★☆ Love it, perfect for making sauces. One potentially huge flaw but easy to work around. (UPDATE) After using it several more times with the slicer underneath, I am starting to see a small crack starting to form at the center where the blades spin. It is not leaking though. Still lasting much longer than when I used it without the slicer underneath. I am debating sealing the crack with something to prevent it from getting bigger.I love using this. I mainly use the blades as a food processor and chopper and haven’t really had much use for the other attachments. The speed adjustment is nice. Everything is super easy to clean.When I was reading the reviews, I saw that many people had their containers crack at the bottom and that is exactly what happened to mine on my first use. I had to ask for a replacement and they only replaced it for free as a one time courtesy. I was super annoyed by this since it had only been my first use. To resolve this, I noticed that if you use the container with the slicer attachment still underneath it, it will not crack. I have used it several times since I got my replacement, using it within the organizer with the slicer underneath and it has not cracked once. I think this is because the bottom of the container is slightly elevated to fit that piece underneath so, if you just use the container on a countertop, there is no support underneath the center where you put the most pressure on and this causes it to crack. I can understand they were trying to be efficient with storage, but the elevated bottom is a poor design choice for the product’s structural integrity. I don’t really need the slicer attachment so this isn’t really a problem for me. Just thought this is something worth noting for people worried about this issue.

★★★★★ Perfect for this home cook. I had my mother’s hand-me-down, hefty Cuisinart food processor for more years than i care to mention. It still worked, but the thought of fetching this heavy thing from a cabinet was sometimes too much to bear. She also gave me an ancient Braun immersion blender that behaved like a giant magnet on any bowl or pot whenever it came in contact with the bottom. Both were heavy, with limited accessories, and neither will probably ever die.But i yearned for a lighter processor and when i found this all-in-one device with so much functionality i knew my old devices would be headed out to Goodwill. Sorry mom.The all-in-one parts sit atop a stand that keeps all the accessories together and easily accessible. Every aspect seems sturdy, though truly only time will tell. The processing bowl’s 6 cup capacity large enough for my needs as a simple home cook, the blender motor powerful enough to handle anything i’ve tried to process. The variety of attachments are meeting all my needs. When using the processor bowl you’l find the feeder in the lid is actually 2 parts that can accommodate both larger and smaller foods. To date, this Breville has easily kneaded pie and pasta dough, riced steamed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, whipped cream, sliced veggies (the designers were clever and added a method to adjust the size of the slices), made sauces velvety and apples saucy, blended smoothies, and aerated eggs for light, fluffy omelets. It even helped me make my grandmother’s signature chopped liver. And never once has the immersion blender acted like a giant magnet. Well, maybe a small one.One size never fits all, but for me the innovation in the plastics, motor and design make for a single excellent appliance that allows me to more easily prepare meals for family and friends.

★★★★★ Great function! Stylish, lightweight, quiet, easy to use. No more dragging out heavy and clunky food processor and finding all the bits for it, or have it hog up precious real estate on your counter. Best of all clean-up is a snap! No weird crevices that food gets jammed into. This machine is so well designed and compact storage is a breeze to take all of it, or some, from the cupboard!I replaced an older basic Black&Decker food processor and a KitchenAid immersion blender with this beautiful, compact device! I love it. The footprint of this stored all together inside my cupboard is less than that of my old food processor base. I had to break down the Bowl, lid & blades and store bits and pieces all over the place. This alone makes it a winner; but it’s great function and design will keep you coming back to using this tool over and over again.All of the parts of this unit have beautiful fit and finish! Very high end materials were used. All seams are smooth. Textured rubber grims feel thick and firm not likely to wear thin.The handheld motor is very comfortable to hold, nice weight to it, feels very well made. The dial is easy to adjust but kinda clicks in place so you can feel each increment and won’t accidentally change speeds or go way too fast easily. With speeds ranging from 0 to 15, gives you more than ample power to blend or chop anything. They do give you strict warnings on how long you should chop some items. When reading it it looks like it won’t be enough time, but in practice it was more than enough time. This machine makes incredibly quick work of even the hardest items, i.e. ice potatoes, and carrots are annihilated in a matter of seconds. The on-off button is very responsive and comfortable to use, i.e. no searching for the active button area underneath the rubbery plastic. It also is easy to attach and detach from all of the different accessories. I had no problems getting it off and on, where I had a huge learning curve with my KitchenAid immersion blender, it was always a pain to line up and get just right before it would click on. No issues here.I haven’t tried the immersion blender attachment yet, but it seems very well made and solid. I especially appreciate that it is all stainless steel. My old KitchenAid had a green plastic disc separating the blade from the internal housing. (See 1st pic, the one on the right is my old KitchenAid and the left one is the Breville.) The disc started to come off during use and would jam the blade. I also worried about food getting in there, and not getting it out! Yuck! Does not look like it will be a problem with the Breville. The unit is all stainless steel and well sealed around the blade.The slicing disc, is super easy to adjust. From paper thin slices to thick cut and everything in between. It says it’s 6 levels but really, it’s infinite, as it has a dial you just turn to adjust. And the blade is killer sharp. I’ve tried it on potatoes, carrots and cucumbers. It sliced all of these so thin you could read through them. Made a very tasty carrot salad with these slices, just added the cucumber sugar and vinegar. Not the potatoes! Lol!The chopping blade made short work of creaming cottage cheese for a light cheesecake I make. Absolutely smooth! And that is no easy feat! Its a chocolate cheesecake so i was always disturbed by white flecks of unbounded cottage cheese. I had tried everything from blenders to food processor and nothing until this got it uniformly smooth! In fact I used it for the whole cake, as it can hold more wet volume because of the design being top motor mount; so no hole in the bottom of the bowl. So it saved me time and dishes as I didn’t have to use my stand mixer, etc, as well! I see more cheesecake in my future!The bowl is one piece with rubber grip on the bottom and the lid has a silicone gasket to seal it tight, nothing escaped and a breeze to clean, rise out right away or throw in the dishwasher. The chopping blade even comes off from the spindle so no food particles can hide. Something else I hated in my old food processor!I love how clear all the marks and measures were on the bowl, 1-8 cups or 200-1600mls, then liters and fl.oz on the other side. The small food pusher/cup measures from 10-70 ml or 0.5-2.5fl.oz, so I didnt even have to use any of my measuring cups or spoons either!The greating disc is greeeeeat! Fine or med/coarse! Next will be zucchini carrot cake which will make “great” use of this feature and why I bought my first food processor as I hated the waste and effort of grating 2 cups of each!I also haven’t given the masher or the whisk a whirl yet. I’m intrigued by the masher and once cooler weather starts in the fall I’m sure I’ll be using it a lot. As for the whisk, I think this was an after thought … it has no place on the stand to store it. I’m sure it will be fine, but I have that area already covered by my KitchenAid stand mixer, which I love and various hand wisks.I only have two small quips about this all-in-one, and that is the storage isn’t 100% …. 99.5% but, there is no storage for the wisk, which is why I think it was a nice add-on/after thought, nor a place for the grating disc when using the chopping or slicing disc (it does store inside the bowl.) And there’s no cord wrap or I just don’t understand how to use the little clip on the cord so I took the cord wrap from my old blender. But all in all this is one of my favorite kitchen appliances! I love it! I would buy it again and again, no regrets! Bon appetit! I’m a happy cook…

★★★★★ Es un procesador muy versatil, es mas de lo que yo esperaba, puedo rallar, rebanar, procesar alimentos, licuar y batir, lo utilizo diario, y si ahorra mucho tiempo, mejora la presentacion de los alimentos, ya por ejemplo se puede escoger entre diferentes grosores de rebanado. Estoy feliz. Ah, es facil de guardar y ocupa minimo espacio.

★★★★★ Buen producto cumple con lo que ofrece falta lugar para la batidora pero fuera de eso todo en orden

★★★★★ I got this as a family Christmas present. I have not done too much with it yet:- Chopping is a breeze for carrots and for celery- Cleaning was also a snap due to easily being disassembled for easy hand/dishwasher cleaning.- The unit storage is amazing and I did away with a full size and a small sized food processor and replaced my two hand mixers wit this one.The storage base:- Stand up all the items and stacks the grater and the slicer on the main storage space- Whisk that people mention – you can store that in two pieces: One (the whisk base) in the processor bowl, and the second (the actual whisk piece)in food pusher for the processor.- The unit is self contained and proudly sits on my counterHand Mixer and Processor Bowl- The hand blender itself is comfortable to hold and feels very high quality.- The processor gear box comes off the processor bowl easily to ensure that you can put it in the dishwasher easily without wearing out the gears- The bowl itself is very good quality plastic and feels very well builtAdded bonus: I got rid of a large potato ricer as this unit comes with a potato masher. There is a similar one on the market for around $60 on it’s own, so all in all this unit seems to be a great buyCon: No hand blender specific cup/bowl is included. Both my previous ones had a cup for the hand blender to mix/crush in. At least I was able to save one of the two older cups as this unit fits inside there

★★★★☆ I definitely can’t fault Breville on the versatility, power, or quality of this device — all are (so far) outstanding, and it performs admirably at all of the functions I’ve tried.However, several parts of it are marked “do not wash,” despite being parts that (in my experience — maybe I’m just a messy cook) frequently need washing. Thus far I’ve just washed them anyway without using running water and it’s been fine, so NBD I guess, just more complicated than anticipated. Otherwise cleanup is not bad — most of the parts clean pretty easily by hand (haven’t tried dishwasher).The engineers who designed this definitely had better spatial reasoning skills than I do, so figuring out how all the parts fit together (sometimes for use but mostly for storage) is its own little puzzle (consulting the user guide helps =p), but also not a huge issue, particularly once you’ve done it a few times.Overall a good and well-performing product, just slightly more complex to clean and store than expected.

★★★★★ This is MUCH bigger than I expected it to be. I am happy with the size, I just wasn’t expecting it to be quite so big

★★★★★ Fantastic Product. Great investment!!! You can’t beat this food processor! It work very well, cleans up well, it’s easy to use. This is a good processor for long term use! I don’t think you can find a better one. Well worth the price!

★★★★★ I am so glad that I finally purchased my Cuisanart 14 cup food processor. It took me months of reading and watching videos to finally decide to buy this brand of food processor. I have not been disappointed one bit! I was really thinking I should save and get a Breville. But I made the plunge that fit my budget much better. I have made pizza dough that turned out wonderful and so fast. I make cauliflower rice all the time. It is so fast and easy. It’s definitely better to try to have your floweretts all cut about the same size. I make butter every week which is delicious and fun and I make home made peanut butter that my husband loves. I also have used it now several times for pie dough and empanada dough. It is super fast and easy and has turned out perfectly every time. It is very sturdy and doesn’t move at all on the counter while I make my dough. It also grates cheese evenly and with very little waste.. Clean up is pretty easy too. I wash it right after I use it, in hot soapy water and rinse well. The only complaint I have is that there are a couple of places that you can’t get in with a towel to dry. But I have found if I just leave it out on a towel for a few hours exposed to the air, those dry completely as well. Also, I have found that if I dry it with a tea towel it comes out shiny and new looking. I don’t use it for chopping garlic, but I tried it once and it worked. It’s just easier to do that by hand with little clean up afterward. I wanted to cover these points for you to hopefully make your decision faster than mine. It works just great and is much more budget friendly. I am very happy with my purchase.

★★★★★ Simply the best. My 25 year old Cuisinart 12 cup finally wore out. I purchased an off brand machine on sale. It was worthless. It couldn’t chop or puree evenly. It was lightweight and underpowered. I returned it and ordered a larger Cuisinart. The new 14 cup Cuisinart food processor is very similar to the last one, slightly larger but always gives excellent results. There is a reason it is a bit more pricey, it is made well and works well.

★★★★★ Food processor. Excellent packaging. This is a powerful food processor. It gets the job done & is very quiet. Worth the investment.

★★★★★ Very sturdy. Use this in our commercial kitchen for our cafe. Not a daily use but, it’s really a powerhouse for a smaller unit. Easy to use, relatively easy to clean, very sturdy base, not very noisy at all.

★★★★☆ Food processor motor great, plastic bowl is weak link. We bought this to replace the same model we’ve used for many years. The plastic bowls are the weak link, as the base motor still works fine on our original, but you can’t find replacement bowls anymore unless you find a used one on Ebay. We chose this size because there are just two of us and we rarely cook larger meals requiring the larger models. The one thing I don’t like is the lid is now designed by a lawyer, trying to keep you from injuring yourself while inserting items through the feed tube on top. It’s way more complicated than it should be and less functional because you have to cut up things into small enough pieces to fit in the tube, cleaning the tube requires taking apart easily breakable plastic pieces, and over time I can see the lid failing due to tiny plastic pieces getting brittle over time and breaking. If one of those small pieces break in the lid safety switches that allow the motor to turn on, it’s inoperable until you buy another plastic bowl. The bottom motor is heavy duty.

★★★★★ If If this 14 cup Cuisinart is 1/2 as good as my last 14 Cup Cuisinart it deserves a gold star X2. This new 14 C. Cuisinart has a clearer cup or perhaps my previous one is just worn from use. I like the way the base is heavy on both machines and find the new Cuisinart very stable when cutting heavy items. I like the newer cup as it shows how much the cup will carry with a line. The new machine cuts sizes more evenly. So I must tell you the motor of my1st machine is in perfect condition. I just could not replace the cup when it broke so my husband did as he did when our our son was 12 yrs old, and bought this second Cuisinart 14 C for Christmas. Our son is now 54 yrs old. So that means the first C. lasted 41 yrs. I used it at least on an average to 3 to 4 times per week and it always worked like I needed and wanted. As I said had I been able to replace the cup to the previous one I would not have this new one. Since I have an ice cream attachment and a pasta attachment, I am ready with the 41 year old machine. I have gotten our money’s worth and if you cook a lot and want a lasting accurate machine as Cuisinart it is worth every cent.

★★★★★ A substantial and effective kitchen tool. I was hesitant to buy this food processor based on some of the reviews I saw concerning broken parts and difficulty in using it, but the professional sources rate it very highly. When it went on sale, I pulled the trigger and I’m really glad I did. This is a very hefty piece of equipment. It has performed beautifully for everything I’ve done with it so far, including chopping vegetables, grinding meat and pureeing sauces. I had a less expensive model from another brand which I hesitated to use because it performed poorly enough that it wasn’t worth the cleanup effort. This one is such a pleasure to use I no longer hesitate to pull it out of the cupboard. Like any food processor, it does take a bit of effort to clean, but this one is no worse than the two I’ve owned previously.

★★★★★ The product is probably great, but I haven’t had the chance to try it because it is not adapted for the EU market. I couldn’t plug it in, so unfortunately I had to return it

★★★★★ Prompt delivery.After my third inexpensive food processor I decided to upgrade to this Cuisinart food processor. I couldn’t be happier! Very powerful motor. Even cuts. Makes meal prep a breeze.And very quiet. I highly recommend it.

★★★★★ Me encanta su color, su forma de trabajar , los discos rallan perfecto .Es sencillo de usar, tiene gran capacidad. Lo uso para hacer salsas, picar verdura, hacer pasta. Es un aparato y una marca que desquita lo que vale.

★★★★★ Me gusto mucho el procesador, la base es bastante pesada para mover facilmente, supongo que es para estabilidad del aparato, funciona bien, aunque hay que usarla no tan llena, porque luego quedan algunos trozos grande, yo los aparto y los proceso despues aparte para evitar sobreprocesar todo lo demás. Los rayadores aun no los he usado porque tengo otro procesador para eso, aunque me hubiera gustado que tuviera una pieza para almacenar los discos y toda esa parte de los rayadores cuando no se usan, sin embargo son piezas que se venden por separado y a un precio no tan economico. En si el aparato tiene buena pinta, fácil de usar y lavar, y hasta el momento no he tenido problemas, he picado carne, zanahorias, betabel (que son duros), entre otras cosas y todo ha funcionado bien.
