DeLonghi 9-Cup Capacity Food Processor with Integrated Blender

Great processor
I really like this food processor. Of course, I came from having a blender that had a 2-cup processor attachment. I love that its a 9-cup and comes with a smaller 5-cup blender. I never blend huge amounts, but I use my food processor all the time to make things like hummus and sauces. It makes sense to have a bigger food processor. I've made pizza sauces, dumpling filling, and even soup. Its not the quietest in the world, but hey, I don't expect to be quiet when I'm processing food for less than a minute.

really 4 cup capacity
I bought this food processor because it was the only one that didn't have at least 1 one star rating. The 9 cup capacity is the food processor and the blender combine. The food processor holds 4 cups so I have to work in batches. Over all the food processor works great, I have been using it to do mass food prep and purees without any problems. The blender on the other hand, not so good. I have a glass Oster blender that works great so I will keep on using it.

Great deal!
I searched for a long time on line for a great food processor with wonderful reviews and actually found none. Even the expensive ones didn't have the best reviews. When I read the reviews on the DeLonghi, I was pleased, even though there were only 17 reviews. I thought because it was so cheap and included a blender it would be junk. Well, its not junk and I love it. It's only been a week, but it works great. Last year I purchased a Food Network processor thinking I would be getting top of the line quality, but when I first used it to grate cheese the lid was forced off while shredding! This happened repeatedly. Soon after, the mechanism that locks the lid in place broke completely off. Needless to say, I'm taking it back. Thank goodness Kohl's takes returns up to a year. The DeLonghi lid does not have any fancy mechanism for locking the lid to the base. It is just good old fashioned well-constructed quality. I will post again later if anything breaks. I highly recommend this unit now,...
