Only one star because I returned the dicer accessory kit without using it. The more I looked at it, the more I thought the cost was too much for something I would only use occasionally. Plus the fact that it was another item that would have to be stored in my packed kitchen!

First I will say I love this new food processor! The ease and help it has provided has been immense. The only reason I am giving it a four star is because unlike years ago when you bought a food processor and were given all kinds of optional cutting, chopping, slicing, dicing blades this give you three options and you have to purchase other blades if you need them. I was disappointed in this.

Cuts are rarely uniform (doesn't have to be but when you get 3 good slices and the rest mangled it gets irksome). The strength of the motor is amazing. The cup size is usually perfect for what I need. If you want to use the processor for multiple items though, you have to rinse nearly every part because everything inside is exposed to the food. Overall so much better than hand

I love this food processor. The bowl size is perfectly sufficient. Chopped and mixing are a breeze with the motor size. I have not shredded or sliced yet. I find it easy to use and clean. I do like the interior storage but it is a bit clunky to take out and put back on. It’s a little on the heavier side but I leave mine on the counter because I use it often. You can’t beat the high quality and reasonable price.

Just can’t get past the fact that I have to unplug this after every use to stop the lights from blinking! Like really cuisinart?! Will be returning asap Update!! I pushed the stop button three times in a row quickly out of anger and ALL THE LIGHTS STOPPED BLINKING! Tried it a couple more times and it continues to work!

I have wanted a full size food processor for quite some time. I have been using my Cuisinart Little Pro Plus for almost 30 years. It came with a juicer attachment. I broke that attachment about 20 years ago and never replaced it. The food processor still works perfectly. My husband surprised me with this new Cuisinart for Christmas. I love it! I no longer have to mix things in two parts, it all fits in one bowl. I appreciate how the blade, slicer and shredder attachments fit into the bowl for storage. I love using this food processor.

This is my second core custom processor, I completely wore out the first one. I am very happy to be able to use the dicing blades from my first one with my new one. And with the addition of the blender component I am able free up counter space. I am very pleased with this food processor.

About 35 years ago got a DC-7 workhorse and only a boneheaded mistake ended its life. Had to get another Cuisinart-still the best company for people who love to cook. Did much research, and decided on the Custom Core 13 cup. I also bought the small workbowl accessory. Very happy with it so far. Cuisinart made some design changes a few years ago, which were not great. Thank fully they took the responses from customers to heart and the Core Custom 13 cup is really nice. My only complaint, the cord is not the really heavy round cord form my DC-7, but it is enough to get the job done. If you get this Cuisinart, and if you get the small work bowl, keep the box and plastic insert from the small work bowl and store it in that box. There is also a plastic insert for the Cuisinart. These keep the blades safely away from your hands when it is stored. I have not used the shredder or slicer discs yet, but they seem substantial, like the DC-7, so I am not worried. One other thing to note. When you use the Pulse button, with the first push it just lights up, but second push and it is running the blade. The pulse has a very quick blade stop when you let up on the button, as does the low and high speed "on" when you hit pulse to stop the blade. You need to have all parts of the bowl and lid and blades in place and properly locked before the unit operates. Very important for safety. One hint-when you wash the VERY sharp blades, I wear a meat slicer's glove. Even though I am very careful, it is just one more protective layer between blade and skin. Looking forward to many happy choppy, shreddy, slicey years with this machine.

First time using my new 13 cup food processor, I made cranberry relish and was disappointed to find that MANY of the whole cranberries I was attempting to slice, got stuck ABOVE the blade between the blade & the cover still MOSTLY WHOLE - at the space around the rim, and then proceeded to circle around stuck in that position rather than being shredded by the blade and dropping into the bowl. Meanwhile, other berries dropped into the bowl mostly whole (basically not shredded). This created a big mess, because I had to repeatedly open the lid to extract the whole and mostly whole berries to reinsert through the feeder after replacing the lid once again. VERY DISAPPOINTING and MESSY! Had used my mom's old Cuisinart 14 cup processor many times since the 1980s to make cranberry relish and this NEVER happened. MAJOR design flaw.

There are many food processors in the market, I went for Cuisinart because of their brand. You can put a whole potato inside to slice it. I wanted to make potato chips and ended in slicing them by hand. It is a waste of money if you end up doing everything by hand.
