What is the Cuisinart DLC-XP 20-Cup Food Processor (what does it do)?
Anyone who bakes or cooks will want the Cuisinart DLC-XP 20-Cup Food Processor. Larger capacity Lexan bowl means this processor can chop, slice and puree more than the original standard version that made the Cusinart brand synomonous with one of the most popular kitchen inventions.
How does it work?
Foods to be ground, chopped or sliced are feed with a pusher into a see through feed tube attached to a clear cover over a clear bowl while stainess steel blades revolve at the based at high speeds. When done, the Lexan bowl detaches from the base which contains a 1-1/2 horsepower motor.
How does it compare to other products like it?
Unlike blenders, which only puverizes and mixes everything into a mass, the Cuisinart also can do this and more. For example, instead of slicing carats with a knife, cooks can attach a slicing blade and have it slice at high speed.
What are its shortcomings?
Althought the Cuisinart is very convenient in the kitchen; there are various parts to clean up.
How much is it?
The MSRP is $1,200, but some sellers on Amazon are selling it for $799 (click here). Another online retailer is offering it at $649 (click here).
What is the warrantee?
The Cuisinart DLC-XP 20-Cup Food Processor has a three-year limited warranty; five-year warranty for motor.
What do people say about it?
Home cooks think of this Cuisinart as the work horse of appliances in their kitchen. The Lexan bowl or lid eventully cracked from use and had to be replaced. Customer support wasn’t the friendlest — but many owners have had their Cuisinart for over 20 years.
