Can’t do what it shows about itself – D. Svetlichnaya – Chicago, USA
I admit that I did not use this product for any extensive time, and it will be returned to the store soon. Here’s why.

The cover of the instruction booklet for this blender/food processor depicts it with some red juice in the blender, and slices of the lemon inside the food processor part. This is the same picture as used at amazon.com, only larger. The slices are clearly visible.

Once the processor was purchased, we decided to slice a cucumber or lemon. This turned out to be impossible, since the the only way to push the food into the processor is by pushing it through the feed tube, which is much narrower than any cucumber of lemon. Perusing the manual did not bring any discovery, though it was interesting to learn that some types of foods must be frozen before processed in this unit.

However, the picture on the cover clearly shows me that I’m wrong and there must be some other way, since the slices of the lemon inside are all perfect complete circles. There must be something I’m missing, right?

So I called Cuisinart customer service, and asked very straightforward question: how to achieve the slices of the lemon the way they are on the cover?

Answer: it’s impossible. You have to cut the lemon in half first, so it fits in the feed tube.

Me: but on the cover, they are not cut in half.

Cuisinart: oh, it’s just for picture.

Me: so you are saying that the main picture of your product shows the result that your product in fact can’t do, right?

Cuisinart: OK, may we help you with something else?

No, I certainly don’t have any other questions. If this product lies to me already on the cover, that’s where it will end.

Only lasted for 4 months! – Rob P – Alaska
I got this blender combo for Christmas and I loved it for the grater and food processing it did. But the other night I was making smoothies and about half way thru crushing the ice with the ice crushing button the blender (full mind you) popped up off of the rotating blades which made both sets on the base and the blender melt and shred each other now the unit is completely useless!

piece of junk – DC gal –
It broke after just using it just five times. Do not buy this blender.

My wife used finished using this product and I’m ready to throw it out the window. This thing is so loud it really made my ears hurt. What ever you do don’t bother buying screamer!
