Product: Cuisinart 9-Cup Prep9 Food Processor in Red
Model: DLC-2009MRY
Condition: The box could be damaged or dirty but the item is new and unblemished
@mexicantacos The stick blender has an agility advantage, and as long as it can keep from getting sucked into the cavity, I’d favor the stick for the eventual win in an open duel.
I still have my mom’s Cuisinart from the ’70s. I suspect the newer ones aren’t built like a tank like mine is, but I also suspect they still work great for a few particular things. There’s no better tool for making hummus, for instance. But it’s so big and heavy that I almost never use it. A knife, an immersion blender, and a mandoline get a lot more use.
@kostia Ours is not nearly as old but still feels pretty solid. I use it fur hummus too. Stick blender for pea soup and similar. I don’t think I ever used mine for slicing or shredding.
I have a similarly “antique” food processor, it was a Robot Coupe which I bought at a flea market in the 1980s. Made in France for commercial use. Apparently Robot Coupe made the first consumer processors sold in the U.S. under the name Cuisinart. But I can’t part with it although I can’t remember which decade I used it in last. I’ve moved it to at least two houses and don’t recall using it in either of them…
@kostia Cuisinart still makes this 14-cup one which is about a million pounds and cut from the same stuff as the 1970s one on the counter of the kitchen I grew up in. It’s a fantastic unit and I’ve been running it hard for a couple years now… I will probably replace the plastic jar when it gets a little more scratched up but the hardware is still good as new.
The unit in today’s Meh looks much wimpier, but it’s also less than 1/3 the price.
@kostia I inherited my mom’s food processor, which does look like the parent of this one, same model, and I think it’s from the 1980s. It’s a franken-machine now as we have replaced all the top parts at least once but the motor it just keeps going. If we did not have one, absolutely would buy at this price. It doesn’t come down often - generally I find it more work to clean it than to just chop something with a knife, it seems to make an enormous pile of dirty dishes, but hummus, pesto, pie dough, and bigger batches of stuff I’d otherwise use knife or shredder for, it does what nothing else does.
@kostia@robin0575@kostia I just went looking for a replacement plastic bowl for my 1970’s Robot Coupe (early Cuisinart). It looks like you can still get them (yeah!) at $100-120 (ouch!).
That’s why in today’s society you just buy new Chinese stuff and throw away the old. (hopefully responsibly for recycling, but it’s hard to find people that take consumer electronics and appliances anymore – mostly it seems destined for landfills).
@joeymlynch Well, at 4 times the price, or $300, you probably can get something pretty good. I have the Omega which I bought about 8 years ago and it has been fine. (though I don’t use it nearly as often as I should be doing). There are periodically sales from Omega. I checked an article on new masticating juicers and it shows several other types I’m not familiar with at all.
Anyway this food processor is definitely not a juicer!
@joeymlynch Calling something a “juicer” because it pulverizes a vegetable into a thin, runny pulp has never seemed logical, it just doesn’t seem like “juicing”. To me, “juice” is the liquid content of a fruit, which can be extracted, leaving the solid bits mostly out. “Carrot juice” isn’t. And for extraction of juice from citrus in particular, I like my aging manual clamshell press just fine, TYVM. (If useful varieties of apple grew here, I’d patronize a cider mill for the pressed-out cloudy loveliness that begs to be allowed to ferment…)
@pmarin Given the slowing that has been seen with a few of the things that we’ve run through our more powerful unit (of the same brand), I have to say that 600W seems a trifle underpowered. Like putting a Hardly-Ableson V-twin under the hood of a 4X4 Jimmy.
The technical term for letting your quality-brand name get slapped on something that’s engineered down to a price point this way is “a DSM¹”.

Will it blend?
@yakkoTDI Maybe,but large body parts adapter not included
margarita? Guessing yes.
@bfg9000 From experience: Not so much.
It chops, it slices, it minces, it mutilates
@hchavers It slices! It dices! It circumcises!
@hchavers @yakkoTDI Meatloaf again???
@hchavers @yakkoTDI
@hchavers @werehatrack That’s a rather tender subject. Another slice, anyone?
Silver?
Looks more Pantone P 49-8 C to me.
@mcanavino I interpreted that as “Here’s the price of the same model in a different color”, not an indication of this thing’s color.
@winfield Well it’s in the description of this item as well: “Color: Silver” May have just been a typo from the comparison at you said
Well, I dunno, but I don’ theen he’ll be verra keen. We already got one. Iz vurra nize.
Georgia, is that you?
This vs stick blender?
@mexicantacos Think both - with the wide mouth feeder, you should be able to have a battle of the blades.
@mexicantacos @rpstrong Don’t try this at home. But if you do, make sure it’s somebody else’s home.

@HankB33 @kostia Not sure I can get into “fur hummus”.
@kostia @mike808 OK, typo. I meant “fer hummus”

Meh. Do a masticating or slow press juicer for 4 times the price and I’ll bi7 in a heartbeat
@joeymlynch Well, at 4 times the price, or $300, you probably can get something pretty good. I have the Omega which I bought about 8 years ago and it has been fine.

@joeymlynch @werehatrack exactly… nothing with rapidly-spinning blades will ever really be a « juicer » it’s more of a chipper/shredder.

The correct term is “semantic satiation”
I was thinking more Semantic Sedation.
We already own a Cuisinart food processor. On the front, it says it goes all the way up to 11 (cups). So like, 2 better than 9. 11.
600w NOPE that is called skinny cow! 1200w then we are talking beefy!
@vwbeetle72 What are you planning to put in there that needs that power? Do you expect it to be fighting to get out?
@pmarin @vwbeetle72 that’s what a French rolling pin is for.

Pro-cess or “praw”-cess?
@Salanth Yes, depending upon the context.
