I am thoroughly happy with the Cuisinart DLC 105. I performs great, is easy to use (once you watch the enclosed DVD) and makes light of chopping, grating and mixing. It's the first full sized processor I've used, so I can't really compare it to others, but I think it does a great job for preparing meals for two.

Wonderful food processor. Best one I have ever used. Very pleased, would recommend one to all....

Several reviews noted that the video came in obsolete VHS form. Cuisinart got the message. It's now on DVD. The chef on the DVD had a handy habit of pushing the cutting blade down firmly onto the post and then reaching underneath the bowl to hold the cutting blade in place while dumping the contents. I found that most of my fat fingers don't fit, but I can manage the trick.

The many parts become second nature rather quickly. I have a teeny tiny RV kitchen sink, no dishwasher, and I still manage to wash it OK. Draining dry just requires creative piling. I'm going to try cookie dough. Space is very limited, so this little machine will have to be the mixer as well.

This processor comes with a medium slicer blade and the shredder. I found the addition of the 6mm french fry blade was the only addition I'll likely use. I don't fine grate things. I'll likely use the shredder for any kind of julienne output. Shredding reminds me. Have to get the ingredients for potato pancakes.

This food processor is wonderful! I was really surprised as to the weight of the machine - it's a monster! It processes food with the greatest of ease.

This great big cuisanart arrived to replace a little old model I got in the 70s. It seems not only big but a bit complicated to operate...any appliance that needs a DVD to explain itself has a slight problem. However, it works well once you wrangle it into position. I'm beginning to like it alot!

The food processor works fine. But the lid is difficult to manage and clean. I think it was designed by lawyers who were more concerned about the possibility of a cut finger than chopping or grating food. I'd rather have a Robot Coupe, but for the price this is ok.

While I didn't try using this in my lap or mistake it for a saucepan (see 1-star reviews), I have used the DLC-10S for a variety of kitchen tasks and it's performed very well. I was astounded at how quiet it is, especially compared to my old Black & Decker food processor.

I'm happy to have the two different lids. I rarely use the feed chute so it's handy to have the low-profile lid, yet I'm happy to have the other when it's needed.

One caveat: While my old B&D was also a 7-cup model, the design of the bowl meant that I could fill it fairly full with no problem. However, because the center post of the Cuisinart is so low, anything very liquid-y will leak through, as it does whenever I make my salsa. Seems to me that 7 cups should mean 7 cups.

On the other hand, the whole machine is comfortingly heavy and stable, meaning it doesn't have a tendency to bounce around the countertop when working, even if the load becomes a bit unbalanced.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I look forward to many years of service.

I got this model for a wedding shower gift in 1983!

It is now 25 years later, & I am still using it & it never had to be repaired, unbelievable!

And, the blades are still sharp. Mine came with a book ;)

Works like a charm!

Both the site and the product's packaging refer to an instructional DVD. This, I suppose, is meant to be the up-market version of an instruction manual. However, no such DVD was included. I don't know if it was Cuisinart's or Amazon's fault; I do know that it annoyed me.

OK...I've had this processor for over 20 years, and it's the best ever. My son is "into" cooking now and was looking at the Kitchen Aid...Ok I'm sure it's fine, but Cuisinart is state of the art. You just can't beat it. And for those who don't like, say it falls apart--what are you doing to it? Perhaps you don't know how to use a food processor. I have some pretty terrific recipes that wouldn't be possible without this wonderful machine...and then there's just slicing potatoes so thin that au gratins come out like a French Bistro. You need to practice--but when you've got it down, there's none better than a Cuisinart.

This is the absolute worst food processor I have ever used. The engineering is terrible--it's the clunkiest thing to put together. You must fight with it to get the chopping pieces together. It's easier to use a hand grinder!

I've has this for 6 months or so and am putting into a tag sale on the free table!

With a powerful yet quiet 600 watt induction motor, and a generous list of accessories, the DLC-10S is your best bet in the under $150.00 price range.

We compared this model in a side by side comparison to the 2008 Cuisinart Prep 9, nine cup model and found the 10s to be more powerful, and of a higher build quality for 50 bucks less! Plus, it comes with an additional short top bowl cover which we use most of the time over the conventional "pusher type" cover.

If you are looking for a time tested and solid "classic" design, one that will serve you well for years of heavy use, then you need look no further than the DLC-10s!

5 STARS!

I HAVE OWNED THIS FOOD PROCESOR AOBUT 1 YEAR. I USE IT ON AN AVERAGE OF ONCE A WEEK. CHOP MEAT AND VEGIES. THE BLADE IS FALLING APART. A TINY PIECE BROKE OFF AND NOW I HAVE TO THROW OUT AN ENTIRE MEAl! VERY DANGEROUS! I AM SWITCHING TO KITCHEN AID.

Don't get me wrong. This is an excellent food processor and worked great. At the same time it is almost always easier and more effective to use one of those hand held food processor. My wife who would use this the most has pretty much stopped using this all together and we'll probably give it away or sell it to free up some shelf space.

I have had this product for about two months & use it regularly.
It does a great job on everything I process. I purchased six additional disks to give me more variety. This product is well worth the price from Amazon.

THE REVBERE PAN SHOWN IN YOUR WEBSITE IS NOT THE 1.5 QUART PAN I GOT.

I DO NOT LIKE THE ONE I GO. IT IS TOO NARROW A DIAMETER ACROSSS THE BOTTOM

I WANTED THE 1.5 QUART SHOWN IN YOUR WEBSITE VIDEO.

:) I am extremely glad I made this purchase. I can do twice as much in a smaller amount of time. The blades are ultra sharp and do exactly what I like! Great product!

Having never used a food processor before, I wasn't sure what to expect but have been very happy with the product. The VHS tape included was very helpful. Another item which would be great is a storage case for the tools not in use. The blades are extremely sharp so you can't just leave them lying around.

I bought this product based on many other reviews and I am very happy with it. I was concerned about safety issues, since I am an admitted klutz, but Cuisinart even gives you instructions on how to take the items out of the box safely and how to use the pieces safely. This food processor cut my chopping time greatly, which I love! Since I make a lot of soups, I often would spend one evening after work chopping ingredients and then the next evening cooking the ingredients. Now I chop, cook, AND clean up my kitchen all in one evening. The only criticism I have with the product is that some of the operating information is on the helpful video and some is in the helpful booklet. I had to watch the video a couple of times during my initial use to see how to put the blade attachments in, etc. Other than that minor glitch, I'm really enjoying the food processor and would highly recommend it to others.

I have never used a food processor before, so I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing it. I was worried about not knowing how to put it together or too many parts to clean. Well it is a breeze and very easy to clean. There are only a few pieces to put together so it was less complicated than I had imagined. I have only used it for nuts so far but I can see that this little machine will be a new favorite kitchen gadget of mine! Also great price, couldn't get it on ebay new for less than this!

This is a very good product. It does a better job than I expected and easy clean up. I highly recommend this food processor.

I cannot believe how fast this thing shreds the cheese. My old one took a few minutes and I had to push it through. This is a piece of cake. Love it! Yes, you do have to clean all the tiny parts and pieces, but worth the extra time. Warning- read/save the instructions. I need them to figure out how to click things in place.

So many things you can do with this little gem that I'm still finding more ways to use it. Excellent value for the money. Highly recommend.

The Cuisinart food processor is one of the greatest. The first food processor I had was given as a gift. It sure didn't do the job. Then I bought my first Cuisinart. It has lasted 20+ years. I used it frequently. The plastic piece on the work bowl broke and couldn't be fixed. I looked into just buying the work bowl, but decided to purchase a whole new unit. I'm so glad I did. The blades are so much sharper, but what can you expect after 20+ years. I hope this new one will last as long.

I ordered a cusinart after researching models and carefully reading reviews of customers. I wondered what owning one would be like since I make a lot of soups and healthy meals. Suprizingly it was easy to put together and learn to use. I just love this machine. It is fairly simple but amazing with what it can do. Having plastic parts dishwasher proof is great for me. I moved things around in the kitchen cupboard so that I could keep it where I may need it. It is a fantastic buy for the money and I am so glad I purchased the 7 cup capacity. Thank you and for whomever is reviewing I strongly suggest buying it at Amazon.com

Needed a replacement after 30(+?) years. Went with the DLC-10 since I had lots of extras for it already. Great kitchen tool.

i just checked and the cuisinart website lists the product for $99.95 so i don't see how amazon can say list is $180 and that you are saving 44% if you buy from themCuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor

Good processor for the dollar value. Size is more universal than alot so you can do small and moderate processing without two machines.

I loved this machine till I had it a year. The lid piece developed a crack - the part that you twist. I am not hard on things and had had a cheap food processor for years without this problem. The Cuisinart worked lots better than the cheap one - great motor, fine blades - useful for everything from purees to cakes and chopping meat - but then the bowl cracked too. Why didn't I replace them? Because replacement cost is $60!! Now I have a Kitchenaid and am, so far, very happy with it. Bowl and lid are much sturdier.

After owning my Cuisinart for 4 months, I think I can finally say that I like it. Compared to my old food processor, this one requires an owner's manual. I'm getting used to the settings and its abilities, but it took time. However, it's so QUIET and sits so solidly as it does its thing that I really do love it. I haven't used it for shredding as much as I thought I would because by the time I get all the food sliced to fit the tube, I might as well just keep slicing or get out my grater. So I don't use it for every shredding and slicing job, but certainly for big ones. It's very easy to clean and the plastic bowl/tubes/lids are very tough (I drop things a lot and I actually broke the lid of the my old food processor which was much flimsier).

I have this processor about a month and I enjoy making different salads for my family of three. The 7-cup size is good even for more people; assemble and disassemble process quiet easy; no problem with washing it afterward even by hands in the sink. So far I did not brake any part of it but once I accidentally dropped plastic cup and the lid on the floor and realized how fragile is the machine. My advise to the producer to make the plastic parts of it more rigid - thicker and stronger. You have to be very delicate using the machine and it's not always possible when you cutting and chopping in the kitchen.

I have had this product just a few weeks, but it has already proven itself well worth the price I paid. I have used it both for small jobs, such as mincing a couple of garlic cloves at a time, or dicing small amounts of onion, as well as larger ones, such as making BIG batches of coleslaw. I even tried doing brownie batter in it (something I never would have thought of had I not seen it demonstrated on the accompanying video--they must have made a ton of these videos, since I can't imagine why else they would still be using that medium instead of DVDs) and I am exceedingly pleased with how it has performed on those jobs.

The large-mouth feeding chute can be a challenge to clean, since you cannot entirely disassemble it, but all it takes is a little bit of creativity to overcome that problem, based on what I've experienced so far. The machine and its accessories appear well-built and sturdy, and the motor is very powerful--600 watts. Its size, 7 cups, seems just about right for my purposes. Time will tell whether the lid will hold up to regular use, but so far this food processor has been a real a pleasure to work with.

One of the reasons I selected the Cuisinart Pro Classic food processor was the large number of favorable reviews it has received over the years. Now I am adding my voice to theirs. Some critics complained that it is complicated to use. I think that's more perception than reality, since it does look a bit complicated at first. However, all you really need is to read through the instruction book and do a couple of practice runs with the food processor. It's not rocket science by any stretch of the imagination.

We enjoy using this little bugger for annihilating vegetables. It does a quick job of it but unfortunately it is hard to control how well you chop. If you are making salsa or need things finely minced then you are in luck! If you are looking to make stir fry veggies then they may be too thinly cut! Still, it's handy, easy to clean, and small enough to store on the counter. Thanks. >

I purchased this processor for my wife and I got to use it first. Putting the different pieces together was not difficult. The actual food processing was a breeze. But after that it was a struggle to clean up the parts. Food particles get trapped in crevices that nothing can reach except high water flow. Also chopping green veggies like cilantro is not a strong suit of this Cuisinart.

I thought I absolutely HAD to have one of these. Did a few days of reviews, and decided on this particular model, which I still think was a good decision. Regardless, I've only used it one time, and that was to crumble pretzels for a raspberry dessert. It did a good job of crumbling, but the inside surface of the container became marred and cloudy. I guess the pretzels were too crunchy. My own fault?
I was disappointed that the video presentation that was included in the box is on VHS cassette, rather than on DVD. Some people don't even have VCRs anymore.
