Cuisinart BFP-703BC Smart Power Duet Blender Food Processor Brushed Chrome 3 cup count of 6

This is the 2d Cuisinart Duet I've bought. After 10+ years of daily smoothies and other uses, my previous one gave up the ghost. I was disappointed because my OG Cuisinart processor didn't die until it was more than 40! But 10+ (I think it's more like 13 or 14) is pretty good these days. This blender/small processor is so simple and easy to use. The same motor base fits the glass blender jar and the not-glass (acrylic?) processor bowl. You just set the jar or bowl down on the base and push a button. The processor bowl is small, only 3 cups, but it's perfect if you're not making a big dish. And Cuisinart has improved the processor blades: instead of separate shredder and slicer blades like my old one had, this one has one reversible blade, one side for shredding and one side for slicing, both thin. It's easy to take apart for cleaning, and most parts can go in the dishwasher. Of course, the motor base is not submersible - it's just wiped off with a damp cloth, which is easy because the buttons are smooth so nothing sticks up and gets stuff caught between them. It's a very sleek assembly, too. The only thing I don't like is that it only comes in gray. I have a white kitchen and prefer white for the appliances that stay out on the countertop, but it seems no one makes them any more. "Stainless steel" and "brushed chrome" now seem to be used more as names for a color (gray) than the name of a material (metal, as opposed to plastic). Cuisinart isn't the only company that does this. But if you order a "stainless steel" or "brushed chrome" Duet, the cover of the motor base will be plastic, not metal. The blades, however, are actually stainless steel. Welp, just over 2 years and the motor died. Read more

I tormented myself trying to pick a glass blender. All the reviews on amazon were lack luster. I chose this one with low expectations but have been very happy with my purchase. I’ve had the unit for 4 months. Blender: love that the pitcher made of glass & it was on the mamavation website approved list. I’ve been able to make smoothies, cauliflower rice, cauliflower mashed potatoes, pumpkin puree, hummus and much more! The smoothies are made with no issues - once you get the appropriate liquid amount, it blends smoothly. The hummus was VERY this and it put the blender to work. I had to start and stop quite a bit, but it’s a blender - it’s not intended to make hummus - but alas It made hummus! I’de rather make my food in glass with a MINOR inconvenience of stopping to stir than use a plastic pitcher. TIP - if you’re trying to make something very VERY this (ex. hummus) and the blades are not catching the food, push the food down (fills and air pocket that formed) and toward the center (directly over blade assembly). Then try blending again & repeat. Food Processor: this attachment is plastic, so I really had no intentions of using it. I ended up in a pinch and needed ground pistachios. The food processor worked flawlessly! Read more

Blender worked great for about a year and died. Cuisinart customer service was excellent and I received a new replacement blender within a week. I love it and all the features and food processor. Read more

I bought this blender to replace my plastic one. I love the glass pitcher and that it comes with a food processor bowl as well. I wish that was also glass. It is a bit loud but I am happy with it for the price! Read more

11/23 Second edit: After having this for only a year and using it maybe 15 to 20 times maximum the motor - which was always making an awful noise to be honest - sounds even worse, food doesn't get pulled down toward the blade and it abruptly shuts off after some struggling sounds. I'm done with this. I don't think it's even worth pursuing repair under warranty, to be honest. Sadly, it's going to go to the landfill. 12/22 EDIT: After having this for over a month I've decided to lower my rating from 3 stars to 1. The food processor is essentially totally useless. There is so much space between the slicer/shredder disc and the lid that in addition to food items falling over and ending up being sliced or shredded length-wise, the food can end up just riding around on the disc instead of being cut. It is way too small for most food processor jobs and should really just be called a "chopper" because that's all it's actually good for. I wish there was a way to get an actual food processor as an accessory for this motor but I suspect one doesn't exist. .................................................................................................................................. This is a well-made product but there are also some notable issues. * The food processor is only 3 cups....so it's no larger than the "chopper" I already have. * The slicer on the food processor slices eucharist wafer thin results. * Vegetables like carrots fall over in the feed tube of the processor and end up being sliced in all kinds of weird shapes. * There is no safety case for the processor disc slicer/shredder or the blade and I've already cut my hand on it. * Food processor is extremely loud. I'll keep this for the blender aspect but I was really hoping for a much better processor. Read more

This appliance is powerful and quiet, and does the job. What more could you ask. And it is relatively easy to clean. The mouth of the jar is so wide that your large male hand can get inside and wipe water drops off and leave it like new. Easy. Read more
