5.0 out of 5 stars Seems like the exact replacement for my 18 yr old Pro Classic The work bowl of my 18 year old Pro Classic finally cracked. My old one did not sit on a shelf and collect dust. I used it at least once a week. I’ve made countless batches of salsa, biscuit and bread dough, date balls, mayonnaise, puréed veggies and ground meat and nuts in this. I rarely hand washed it. It mostly went into the dishwasher on the top rack. After 18 years of this abuse the bottom of the work bowl finally cracked. It’s not leaking. Just cracked. I looked for a replacement work bowl and feed tube. But at $60 for both I decided another $40 for a brand new Pro Classic was well worth the extra money.I did plenty of research on the newer Cuisinart models and offerings from other manufacturers. What I found was a bunch of fluff and extras I just don’t need. Pulse and On with a blade style switch is perfect. I don’t need push buttons. Or a bunch of different settings. Or a small work bowl inside a larger bowl? Hell, for me at least, On is mostly unneeded. Just pulse, a torquey motor and a couple blades. The chopping, slicing and shredding blades that came with the original have been all I have needed. They have stayed incredibly sharp for all these years.The new Pro Classic model seems to have the same exact motor as my 18 year old Pro Classic so I am hoping for the same longevity. My only complaint about the new model is the feed tube is a little harder to clean. There are more nooks and crannies for food to get trapped. But a bottle brush seems to work nice to get to the hard to reach areas.If you want a great food processor for home use this is a great choice. You can spend two to four times more money and I’m sure get a great food processor. But you will probably not use most of the “features” for which you are paying extra.Variation: Size: 7 cupColor: White
5.0 out of 5 stars Durable, reliable work horse! Narrowed choices to 2 brands about a dozen yrs ago – purchased Cuisinart 7 cup Pro Classic. Perfect for the 2 of us!! Easily whips up wkly batches of hummus, makes quick work of “kneading” pizza dough, mixes up gluten free cookie dough for my m-in-law. Literally gallons of salsa verde every yr for the freezer. Soups are easy peasy: winter squash, sweet potato/ miso, tomato, home made “V-8.” Rinse bowl/ lid immed. after ea. use, I don’t find it difficult to clean?Read it was discontinued (why??) decided to get another though ours is still running like a champ. Accrued all the blades I want over time (eBay is a good source – excellent condition used blades for less than $12 ea.) Would hate to start over w. a new processor, buy all new extra blades (Yikes… $$$)ONLY negative is that it was sent w/o ANY protective packing, just sliding around inside a larger box. Seriously, Amazon??? But if you’re looking for a reliable, smaller food processor, an excellent machine, IMHO. Grates cheese, zucchini, apples, yellow potatoes, slices sweet potatoes & beets for dehydrated chips (and they’re solid veggies) No issues what-so-ever, beautiful, consistent results and clean up is a breeze.(Also, for those who’ve asked, my previous/ older blades seem to fit the new stem, lock into place easily, solidly) I wouldn’t want to be w/o this appliance and have been genuinely pleased w. it’s durability.Variation: Size: 7 cupColor: White
5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive design The DLC-10SY arrived this afternoon. I told my wife I think this appliance had more warnings and caution stickers than anything I’ve ever bought before, including chainsaws.It took me a few minutes to understand how the larger lid works. A YouTube video helped with that. The main blade and the slicer disc are both super sharp. The motor feels powerful but runs quiet. All parts are solid high quality; fit and finish, look and feel are all great. The discs are well balanced. I tried a magnet on all the cutters and it stuck on hard, so I’d say the cutters are steel. Since I’m in a very humid area, this might be a rust problem in the near future. But I am looking into vapor rust inhibitors. I’m sure I can work something out—maybe a little cutter storage box with some Zerust liner.The various safety interlocks and feed holes are well thought out. I have long fingers, but try as I might, I could not manage to touch any blade when the machine was assembled. (I always do this test with the machine unplugged, btw, so don’t worry about me. At least not about that.) I’ve had other appliances (I remember this one juicer ….) that FAIL this test.The only modification necessary was I sharpened up the shredder disc. It was not up to par, sharpwise, with the other cutters, and you can see why. The shredder disc, like common kitchen graters, is punched from sheet steel. There’s no practical way to make all those little scoops sharp without a lot of hand work, which would drive the price right out of the market, if you know what I mean. Anyway, it took me a couple sessions with the Dremel tool and some needle files to upgrade the shredder disc. Can’t wait to try it out.So far, my very first food processor, the Cuisinart DLC-10SY 7-Cup Pro Classic, gets top marks; it’s excellent. If my opinion changes, I’ll be back for an edit.Variation: Size: 7 cupColor: White
5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Better Than the New Ones This is a true Cuisinart, unlike the flimsy machines they are putting the name on these days. Powerful and super well-made, if the size is good for you, you will not be disappointed by the DLC 10. I believe this is “new old stock,” meaning it is a new machine but they no longer make it and are clearing out the warehouse. It was replaced by the FP-8 series, which doesn’t hold a candle to the DLC-10. I bought the FP-8 not knowing that the DLC was still available. The FP is not powerful and quite flimsy. The bowl broke when I dropped it, which would never happen with the DLC. A replacement bowl for the FP was nearly the price of a new unit, which annoyed me enough that I decided to shop around. I was stoked to find the DLC-10 at a very reasonable price. We have a 25 year old DLC-14 at our second home, and it still works like brand new. The DLC-10 is of that quality. Just be aware that the 7 cup work bowl is quite a bit smaller than what most people think of an old-school Cuisinart to be. It is fine for most chopping/blending for a family of 4, but is probably too small to make a full-sized bread dough.Variation: Size: 7 cupColor: White
