Bowl Capacity: 7 Cups, 2 Speeds, Power 600 watts
Sized to be the perfect food prep companion, this Cuisinart® Food Processor will mix up a little pesto for two and then puree soup for a party of seven. The powerful motor performs the tasks of a much bigger food processor, making short work of coarse chopping, smooth blending and all the multiple food prep tasks in between.

More than what Cuisinart makes it out to be.
Author's Rating:
Pros: Durable, easy to clean, quiet, many accessories available.
Cons: 7 cups can be too small at times. Bowl has square corners.
The Bottom Line: This entry-level 7-cup food processor's 600-watt motor can handle nearly every home use. Its utility can be extended from what its documentation implies by purchase of DLC-10 accessories.
Review: Cuisinart markets this as its entry-level 7-cup food processor. As such, it can often be found on sale at department stores like Kohl's for as low as $75. What they would seemingly rather you not know, to the point where they de-listed some previously... Read Full Review by bkalafut, Aug 1, 2008

The Bottom Line: Great mid-sized processor with a great price tag. Can easily handle any home cooking task. Money very well spent.
Review: I bought this product because I was tired of slicing, dicing and shredding by hand. I also wanted to get into Once a Month Cooking (where you prepare a month’s worth of dishes in one day and freeze them for dinners throughout the month) and knew...

Review: I can't believe nobody else has noticed that, contrary to the packaging ("Effortless Dough. One touch of the easy to use paddle control lets you knead dough for pizza, bread, or a delicious dessert in minutes.") there is no attachment nor instructions...

Review: After having diligently researched the choices and determined this would be THE food processor for me, I fearlessly plunked down my money and carted the prize home to my kitchen for some serious slicing and dicing. I really loved the machine for awhile,... Read Full Review by indygardengal, Jul 6, 2006
A terrific food processor for mid-sized jobs
Author's Rating:
Pros: Sized right for most kitchens, accessories included, powerful motor, sturdy
Cons: Feeding tube is an awkward size
The Bottom Line: This is a great food processor and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mid-sized processor that can handle a variety of jobs.
Review: When I set out to buy my first food processor, I was looking for something smaller than the 11-cup monsters out there. This 7-cupper fit the bill, and I have been really pleased with it since I bought it a year ago. First of all, the DLC-5 is a very... Read Full Review by phxkara, Dec 13, 2003

Review: Kohl's Department Store had the DLC-5 by Cuisinart on sale for $69.00. That is 50% off list price. While the machine is designed for 6 cups and may be small for larger families, for $69.00 I had to go for it. I am well satisfied with the machine. It... Read Full Review by okeydokee, Jul 8, 2002

The Bottom Line: High quality versatility at a great price.
Review: I enjoy cooking, but the kind of cooking I do doesn't require me to haul out a food processor very often. But when it does, I'm glad I have the DLC-5, which features the usual high Cuisinart quality but is less complicated, somewhat smaller, and much... Read Full Review by xtnjohnson, Apr 3, 2002
