Cuisinart Easy Prep Pro | 2 Bowl Food Processor With 1.9L Capacity | Stainless Steel | FP8U

Cuisinart appliances are the absolute best value for money stars of the appliance world. This little machine chops, grinds and emulsifies (that means it makes mayonaise) better than anything I have come across in the last 20 years. The build quality is fantastic, the price point is spot on and it delivers better than anything else I have ever used. It is just the right size to stay permanently on my kitchen top and, has enough processing power and capacity to cater for larger scale food prep events. Highly recommended. PS ignore the review where the guy says it didn't work, he just didn't read the operating instructions!

Bought primarily to slice a large amount of vegetables. It does its job well. As a safety feature, the processor won't run unless the container is securely attached. The plastic feels strong. I was satisfied with the cost. The processor comes with discs and blending blades. I've found the discs to be most useful. Note that the slicing blade on the discs is very sharp and it's very easy to accidentally touch it when instinctively reaching out for it. Be careful while cleaning the discs. I passed a sponge over it and the blade easily sliced a bit of the sponge off. The processor is easy to use. It has two speeds with one button for each, which can be pulsed if needed. The machine is not excessively heavy but it isn't light. It's probably safer that it's heavy as it has fast rotating components. It isn't too loud and, while it does vibrate, it doesn't feel like it's shaking off balance. It doesn't take much effort to clean. The discs can be easily removed, rinsed and brushed clean. The lid and container can also be easily removed for rinsing and cleaning.

It does jobs that it is advertised to do. However, in some jobs, it may not work like a magic. Let me list what I've tried for a month after the purchase. -Mincing meat: superb. I didn't even bother to chill the meat and it worked great. I minced meats for making ragu and dumplings. Unless you have a special reason to go for an expensive meat grinder, I think it is almost perfect. -Chopping: superb. do about 8-10 pulses.. onions are already ready for ragu. -shredding with disc: great! I have shreded potato and cheese. Both worked so quickly and nicely. - kneading dough: Not magical but it helps. I think it works beautifully with quite wet dough (>50% water (in weight respect to the weight of flour)). but when you knead a dry dough, for example, noodles dough (40-45% water), it may not work like a magic. Capacity also matters here. I have tried 500g of flour with 5 eggs to make pasta dough, the top 1-inch layer of the flour was not mixed into the dough. For a wet dough, 500g was okay. But here, the reason may be that I am not using it correctly. I am still learning. But I do admit that I have my doubts if it's worth kneading with this machine because I am not sure it reduces work if I include the washing up afterward. Speaking of which, washing up the bowl and the blade is quite tedious after the kneading because of the stuck flour bits. (with chopped onions and such it is not too bad.) If you have a dishwasher, this may be not a problem. - slicing: I never tried yet but no reason to believe it won't work well. I personally love slicing things with my knife, so I will not be taken my job away to this machine. - Pureeing; Not yet tried. I hope it works well. **A piece of warning: Never use the abrasive green side of the sponge when you clean the bowls. It leaves scratches on the plastic surface. Sadly, mine is now cloudy with those scratches. Just use the softer yellow side or white (less abrasive) sponge. Also, a review I read here that says water leaks when he/she put some water and spun it for washing is not true. I have tried the same, and I have not noticed any leaking. On the other hand, the dry flour will leak at the top lid when the water is not yet added as one of the reviews said here. So it won't be a good idea to mix just dry powders in the bowl. But I don't know why people do that before adding water anyway. I think it will be mixed well in the dough. Overall, I am happy with the product. It enables some jobs that are almost impossible without such as mincing meat or helps speeding up a big batch works like chopping lots of onions for ragu, shredding potatoes for hash brown, and cheese shredding for lasagne or mac n cheese. It is my first food processor, therefore, I cannot compare it to other models. I hope my review answers some of the questions in your mind.

Great little mixer, little being the operative word. It’s easy to use and it comes apart really easily and you can stack it so it don’t take up much room in the kitchen.

Fantastic little gadget! Does a wonderful job for such a compact kitchen aid. I’m very happy with this appliance and would definitely recommend it!

This grinder is good for kitchen for all preparation. 3 yrs warranty excellent product.

Major design flaw that sadly I was unaware of prior to purchase. Despite the lid being “sealed” when in use, ingredients like flour still come billowing out during use. Really avoid and buy a different and better brand. Not sure if I can return it at this stage as I only just discovered this.

Looks good and is steady on the worktop, although powerful. I used it x2 up to now and am impressed with results. Like the processor it is replacing, it does leak via the central spindle/stem onto the base when processing thick soup. Then the problem is to clean it. Some was in where the motor spindle is attached to base. Some was inside the stem of the blade which is ridged inside, so is particularly difficult to clean, as well as very sharp. I would have appreciated being supplied with a suitably sized brush for this job.

Non lo comprate perche viene con la spina inglese. Assurdo.

Bei einem Preis von 130,- Euro hätte ich einen Steckdosenadapter UK auf EU erwartet.

The bowl is smaller than the 1.9 liter advertised but not by much. Actually I like it especially in the EU where everything is smaller including kitchens. Also it ships from Ireland with a GB plug you will have to buy an adapter for EU use. Besides that it works fine as advertised
