Cuisinart BFP-703 SmartPower Duet 3 Cups Food Processor

Pros: Two appliances in one, easy to use, works great
Cons: None so far

I was in the market for a food processor. I did not want to fork out $200 for the 11 cup one since it would only be used most of the time for two people. I came across this product and thought about the blender. My old blender worked but it was a pain to...

Pros: Features and performance are great, Quieter than other blenders
Cons: Having to store the extra parts

My old Osterizer was acting up so I needed a replacement. My old blender provided me many years of service but I always wished it was quieter. So in looking for a new one a major concern was noise level. While at Costco I noticed a good deal on a new...

Pros: Nice convenient design
Cons: Breaks very easily

I have purchased two of these models, for two separate houses, and still enjoy the ease of cleaning and assembly, however, both broke in the same place: the metal round die that is attached to the base of the blender snapped right off under...

Pros: space saver
Cons: noisy, small capacity, little speed variety

I got this as a gift from my mother. I needed both a food processor and a blender, and she figured that this would save space in my tiny city apartment. It did. But it was a disappointment from the beginning. Now, at the time I got this, I was a ...

Pros: It's a nice looking piece of equipment.
Cons: Major parts made of plastic break easily.

I got this unit as a gift several years ago - I've hardly used it - I'd say no more than 10 times - and it's broken. The little gizmo in the bottom that the blender/processer broke. It's the part attached to the motor housing that spins around and fits ...

Pros: Nice concept in combining 2 products. Blender attachment is nice.
Cons: Worthless customer service.

The whole machine is very loud, blender attachment works like a charm. Now for the food processor: less than 6 months after purchase and very light usage the food processor attachment stopped working, stripped a gear in the housing. Cuisinart would be happy to send me a replacement for 30 dollars plus shipping. No thanks I will stick with the reliable brands like Kitchen Aid.

Pros: Blends quickly and thoroughly.
Cons: Loud, over heats with minimal blending.

We purchased this blender to make fruit smoothies for our kids. The smoothies consisted of frozen strawberries, frozen peaches, cranberry juice, protein powder and fresh bananas. Our first unit started smoking and burned out in less than two weeks. Figuring it was a defect we returned the product and got a replacement. To be safe, we only used thawed or fresh fruit with the second blender. The same thing happened with the second unit, again in about 2 weeks. While the box claims to crush ice, we found it unreliable even for soft fruit and with minimal blending time. While the added feature of a mini chopper was a nice bonus, the product did not deliver on promises made on the box. We traded up for a more expensive Kitchen Aid to see if we have better luck. I'm interested if anyone else had similar issues with this unit.

Pros: Good blender
Cons: Noise made when using food processor

I am still using the blender which is great. Unfortunately, the food processor was beyond noisy with a ear numbing pitch. So I now only use the blender portion and am having to buy a food processor which I was trying to avoid in the first place.

Pros: Easy to clean. Food processor grating function works well.
Cons: Very loud, food processor chopping function doesn't work, blender very touchy

We registered for this when we got married, thinking the dual function idea was a great one. However, I wish we had just registered for two separate and much better appliances.

Pros: None...well the blender works, but that's it.
Cons: Processor doesn't work and it's as loud as a lawn mower...Go figure

The food processor does not work! I've set it on the base, pressed the ON button and then pressed the Chop button and nothing but loud noise happens and the blade doesn't move...WTF? Am I doing this wrong because I'm sort of in shock that it's doesn't work...I've never used it before.

This is a complete waste of money. I don't get it, this is their specialty and it doesn't work at all.

Overall makes a good impression. The tool is easy to handle and it makes fun to prepare food as it's right away ready.
