Title: Unreliable and Downright Dangerous - Beware
Review: I bought this machine at a reliable retailer and based my decision largely on the Cuisinart brand name. My last food processor had fallen off a high shelf and broken after a 13 year reign. I'm a cookbook writer so all my kitchen appliances and tools get more than the usual amount of wear, but this machine was trouble immediately. Unless you hold down the sleeve that fits over the gears they grind and begin to smoke. The push button controls are awkward to use and it's easy to overprocess foods. The blender works better than the processor but still has a tendency to loosen from the base if you don't constantly hold the thing together. After 2 weeks I'm already shopping for a new machine. I wouldn't recommend this machine to even the casual user. Smoking appliances have no place in any kitchen.
