Cuisinart 13 Cup Food Processor and Dicing Kit, Silver (Renewed)

I purchased a refurbished Cuisinart FP-13DSV Elemental 13 Cup Food Processor and I am very happy with the considerable savings on this very high quality product. I've only had the machine for a couple of months but have already become accustomed to using it for a variety of tasks.I use the large bowl to make pie dough, various types of hummus, and to slice and shred vegetables for salads and soups. I use the small bowl to chop nuts, mince garlic and ginger, make salad dressings and pestos.However, I'm still deciding whether or not the dicing attachment is worth the effort. I really wish the unit came with more than one dicing grate size; the one that comes with the kit is quite small.On the plus side, you can process chunks of vegetables very quickly and it is nice to end up with perfectly cubed bits, but I found I needed to stop and unstick debris on the dicing grate several times while processing.It comes with an attachment to push through bits stuck in the grate, but this downgrades the time-saving element. The dicer works especially well on onions and white potatoes, but hard vegetables, such as beets or sweet potatoes are really too much for this device; I will keep experimenting.All-in-all, having this wonderful machine has made cooking more efficient and enjoyable.

I have owned other brands of food processors even though Cuisinart is, in my mind, synonymous with that kitchen gadget. This is my first Cuisinart brand food processor and I am impressed. It's easier to clean than the other one I owned. I can see that the design is much less likely to create a situation that happened with my other brand where the spinning portion ended up stripped. I also really love the dicing feature, which I was 100% skeptical of. I thought it would be total junk and I wouldn't bother with it but it's a wonderful feature and I now use it all the time.

The value is off the chart. I am a vegan and I make mock meat which puts a strain on most food processors. This one is up to the task it move all over the counter. This machine has the perfect power for this task. I am still in awe the attachments are awesome crazy Yes… You will not fell this product is remanufactured. I add the additional warranty coverage. I got better coverage than if I bought new…. Don’t hesitate good as new…… If can for buy new if this isn’t available…..

I bought this mostly because of the dicing attachment. It works great and is much more powerful than I expected. Squash and sweet potato diced much quicker than my knife work. But it is very difficult to clean. There is a tiny groove where food gets stuck in the blade. I had to use a toothbrush to get the food out. This was a refurbished product, but everything was packed like new. There are a bit too many safety features in my opinion, and it won't power on unless everything is aligned perfectly.

Purchased this product to replace a 40-year-old multipurpose blender, chopper, and slicer. This Cuisinart has 3 times the capacity, plus different bowl sizes, and can make pizza dough or bread dough. My old unit was limited to grinding and mincing. I love the storage units and the logical arrangement and assembly of the variety of pieces of equipment for mixing, cutting, dicing, and blending. Preparing recipes is taking less than half the time. Purchased this refurbished machine at Amazon and it is "like new". Happy with the unit.

I watched many You Tube videos before deciding on this particular food processor. I am extremely pleased with this "renewed" purchase. The food processor came in its original box and packaged as though it were brand new. If anything had been broken when it was returned it must have been replaced. I thoroughly checked every piece before using. The savings to me was unbelievable! I asked myself, "Would I pay $79.00 for this food processor in a garage sale?" The answer was "Yes!" but, I would not have been able to return it if I found something wrong with it! With Amazon I still have that option. If I find something wrong in the allotted time frame I can return it with free shipping because I bought it with Amazon Prime. So far I have made pie crust, sliced and diced vegetables and shredded cheese. So far, so good! I will update if need be :)

I should have read the manual. I had no idea that the slicing blades were adjustable so I could do thin or thicker slices. I didn’t know the shredding blades were reversable so I could get fine or coarse shreds. And while my previous food processor wouldn’t work without the pusher assembly in place, this one allows me to slice whole (or half) onions, potatoes, etc. And I love the blade guards it comes with so I don’t slice my fingers when reaching for them. Great machine!

I couldn't afford the top of the line Cuisinart, so was happy to see they were making one that was not so pricey. Well - you get what you pay for! Very light weight, walked across the counter and struggled to make the pizza dough recipe that was included with the machine. I got it for my daughter for Christmas, since I am a big Cuisinart fan. I am 79 years old, and have owned only two of these in my lifetime. First one just too small, moved up to an 11-cup. But this machine is no better than "off brands." It's not a REAL Cuisinart food processor. My daughter said they should have put more money into the motor, and less into all of the accessories, most of which she would never use. Cuisinart made a big mistake with this one! I am giving her the money I spent on it, and she is going to apply it to a REAL Cuisinart food processor!
