#1 Gift of The Season!!   December 15, 2003

If you're looking for that perfect gift for someone special - LOOK NO FURTHER - you have found it! I have been using this Cuisinart model for nearly a year now almost daily. It has saved me both time and money. I no longer buy the more expensive ready prep items at the grocery store like shredded cheese or ready cut veggies. I can do the same thing in mere seconds at a fraction of the cost. I have even sliced tomatoes in this unit. For those like me who are short on storage space, this is great - all accessories fit within the unit. And yes, it makes food prep more enjoyable - if you have to do the job you may as well have fun with it! Oh, did I mention its dishwasher safe?


Great machine, but poor safety mechanism   October 7, 2003

I must confess that the machine works well, and as advertised. It handles dough really well, but we have only used the recipies from the Cuisinart book.

The only problem I had was with the "unbreakable" Lexan bowl - it cracked!! The crack occured right at the seat of the safety mechanism. While the function of the safety mechanism was still intact, I did worry that the crack would spread, and then render the whole machine unusable.

Fortunately, the store from which I bought it (The Bay, Canada), gave me a full, no-hassle refund. This was a full 7 months after I bought it. I will get another one, and watch very carefully for a repeat ot the cracking.
