I've got an ancient Japanese made Cuisinart that I bought used for 25. about 15 years ago - still runs great. Mostly use it for grinding and making nut butters. Modified it to override all the safety stuff companies are forced to build in to avoid lawsuits but makes things harder to use. Now I can put the blade on the shaft without the bowl and fire it up. Don't try that at home. (: Great video by the way and I love the kitchen design. How about panning around it for about 10 seconds so we can see the whole thing.

have you tested slicing tomatoes and cheese? i'm using a ninja kitchen professional for home. the food processor sucks. chute is too small for every small roma tomatoes. very time consuming to shred cheese and the plate that's comes with it is skinny shreads. ok for house use, but not if one has to make alot for an event or big family potluck. i guess one has to buy a separate food processor. strangely the wattage is so powerful 1500, so i'd expect the food processor to be more functional. epic failure ninja.

If you need that big a food processor (which most do not, look at a Robocoup and get it over with. The combo ones that have a straight through cutting path are so much more convenient for slicing, dicing, and then you can save the use of the bowl for things it's better suited for. Yeah, probably 2-3 times the price, but they are commercial quality, and parts are readily available if they are ever needed. Any of these things, all it takes is a model redesign and a something breaking means you toss it out.

Just because a carrot doesn't get shredded the first time thru doesn't make it waste. She made it sound like she was going to trash the unchopped carrots, lol. Although I will say that for as expensive as these machines are it's pretty absurd that they aren't designed to avoid those carrots getting such at the top like that. That would really piss me off seeing the carrots sitting on the top like that. Again for how expensive they are, and again just because they should be made Not to do this.

I had bought a KitchenAid, which is a brand I trusted, but ending up returning it after one day because the motor stalled on almonds. I just received my breville yesterday. I peeled a while bag of potatoes, and picked up a knife to chip them, when I remembered it came with a French fry cutter. I tried it, and couldn't believe it. I dropped two potatoes at a time in the chute and before I could blink, they were cut. The thing is amazing!

I love my Breville Kitchen Wizz Pro (Australian, I have had it for over 10 years now and it is a huge help in my kitchen. Mine came with a seperate container with all the attachments and my slicer can be adjusted to 24 different thicknesses. At one stage you seemed annoyed with the Breville, I was tossing up between the Magimix and Breville but the Breville has a 2000 wat motor compared to the Magimix which was 700 wat.

I have one of the high-end Cuisinart food processors, I believe the package was 500 and looks like the one tested in this video. My biggest complaint about it is the lid they have changed to. It has an inner spring loaded seal that you cannot take apart. Ease of cleaning is a big factor for me and the Cuisinart is an epic fail in that regard in my opinion. I rarely ever take it out of the cabinet.

Given that the Cuisinart is pretty cheap while not really being that big a slouch and that most home cooks don't use these things every day, I could live with pulsing the carrots and almonds a little more for 100 less. But, not a bad job showing how they need to up their feed design relative to the Breville. (Brev makes great stuff, but, I tend to think it's often over priced)

always have to wonder how many of these comments are actually people who work in food prep jobs and how many are just opinionated home-chefs and brand loyalists. at least less people seem to be complaining and claiming esther doesn't know what she's doing now though. finally she gets at least Some of the respect she deserves.

just use the cuisinart 14 classic. new models stink yet the 14 is much better. Try grinding beef and the Breville is garbage. I used my 25 yr old Cuisinart DLC 7 SuperPro and the Breville was returned since it was so anemic grinding beef or chicken. It struggled with 1/4 the amount the SuperPro did with ease.
