Pros: OK power
Cons: bad feeder tube, harder to clean, hard to use
The Bottom Line: null
Review: This is my second cuisinart, my first, the DLC 5 was small, but easy. the Custom 11 is a lemon. The feeder tube must lock into place (hard to lock/unlock) or the thing won't run. So you have to pre-cut the length or diameter of carrots, etc. so you... Read Full Review by javel, Nov 18, 2007

Cons: Cuisinart Quality not present in the work bowl design/materials
The Bottom Line: null
Review: This is my second Cuisinart processor. The first one lasted over 10 years with constant use. Cuisinart was like Kleenex. I never thought I owned a food processor - I owned a Cuisinart. (And I blow my nose with Kleenex) My PC11 feed tube insert... Read Full Review by littlejinger, Sep 25, 2007
The original all-in-one kitchen powerhouse
Author's Rating:
Pros: Easy to use, clear instructions, included blades offer versatility, and decent selection of included recipes
Cons: Plastic parts are fragile and expensive to replace
The Bottom Line: Although Cuisinart is no longer as sturdily built as in the past, the Cuisinart food processor is still an extraordinarily useful, timesaving tool
Review: Growing up, we had a Cuisinart DLC-8S 11 Cup Pro Custom Food Processor in the kitchen for over two decades, and I recently purchased my own from Macy’s. I do a lot of cooking that requires slicing, pureeing, blending large amounts of liquid ingredients,... Read Full Review by chiliqueen, Mar 17, 2007
It Slices! It Dices! It Rolls On Its Belly Like A Reptile!
Author's Rating:
Pros: Powerful motor; heavy non-slip base; stainless steel blades; 5 year motor warranty
Cons: Poorly designed dual-purpose feed tube
The Bottom Line: While newer versions of the Cuisinart Pro Custom 11 hit the market, my sturdy model functions as well today as it did the day I brought it home.
Review: As a cook with decades of experience under her painfully cinched belt, my brand new Cuisinart® Pro Custom 11 appeared to challenge my hard earned title,“Kitchen Kween ~ Dark Mistress of Her Domain”. This bulky apparatus, with its seemingly simple pair... Read Full Review by pogomom, Jul 17, 2002

Review: My husband got the Cuisinart Procustom 11 food processor for me two Christmases ago. It has not left its honored space on my counter since, in spite of a severe lack of counter space. Along with my mixer, I consider it an absolute necessity in my... Read Full Review by greegi, Jul 15, 2002
Be Careful with all that Power
Author's Rating:
Pros: Very Powerful - great for bread dough
Cons: Easy to over process some foods, made in China, Serrated blade is very sharp
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you need a lot of power. A smaller processor may be all that you need unless you make bread.
Review: Cuisinart is the original manufacturer of food processors. They make an excellent machine. Food processors can be useful for a wide variety of cooking tasks. However, keep in mind that it is sometimes quicker to chop vegetables using a... Read Full Review by jmg1232, Apr 24, 2001

Review: I grew up using a Cuisinart, therefore my opinion of its invaluable worth may be biased. However, this is my all-time favorite kitchen appliance for several reasons. First, it takes the place of grating anything by hand. I choose to grate... Read Full Review by jprice12, Apr 16, 2001

Best Kept Secret-Buy the DLC-5&Save Money
Author's Rating:
Pros: Excellent food processor; quiet;versatile
Cons: Overpriced; larger than necessary
The Bottom Line: Save yourself a lot of money and opt for the DLC-5 which is in every respect except size, just as fine a machine as the DLC-8.
Review: This food processor is an excellent appliance for any kitchen, but unless you are preparing foods for a very large family, you would probably be better off with the DLC-5 which is a 7-cup model that is almost identical in all other respects to the DLC-8...

Pros: powerful motor, blade assortment, safety feature, reliability, heavy steady basement

The Bottom Line: null
Review: It all started with the peanut butter. I loathe store-brand peanut butter and won't feed my kids the goop made with sugar, salt, and enough preservatives to embalm a small dog. So I buy the expensive health food store brands, where the only... Read Full Review by MaryPowers, Jun 4, 2000

Review: I wanted a Cuisinart for years but every time I got close to having enough to buy it, something always seemed to come up. I did have an Oskar for years, which wasn't bad but I hated how small the bowl was. When I did buy my Cuisinart, it was... Read Full Review by azielinski, May 3, 2000

Review: By all accounts, I'm a pretty horrendous cook, but I would be much worse without my Cuisinart Custom 11.
