I got this because both my very old cuisinart blend and food processor are on their last legs. The blender attachment works just like a cuisinart blender. Powerful blender motor and a nice wide glass bowl. The food processor is very small (good for chopping herbs or a small batch of salad dressing or dip) but does not have the power, size or attachments for anything significant. The food processor motor is not direct drive (feeds off the blender motor) and is VERY loud. If you need a real food processor stick with the original cuisinart.

I used the blender/processor and it worked great and smooth running. I haven't used the blender yet, but I'm sure it will work as well. Happy with my purchase. I have spent money on several less expensive processosr/blenders and have never been happy with them. So I bought a Cuisenart because I have several products by this name and am satisfied with them.

I loved the added bonus of the food processor, great blender and great value.

I just used this machine and it was great, both the blender and food processor...

I enjoy my Cuisinart duet blender/food processor very much. I does everything I want and more. Great piece of equipment.

Great item, saved my life. Great price and it is used every day. Must have item.

I order this product since the part number listed (FPB-5CHBPC) corresponds to a brushed stainless unit (refer to http://everythinginstock.com/cuisinart-duet-blender-food-processor-fpb5chbpc-p-1447.html). Do not be fooled. Overstock only carries the chrome unit (FPB-5CHPC), and will send you one regardless of which of these two you order. Both orders I received from Overstock, the original order and the exchange order, were the same chrome finish blender. As a matter of fact, when I spoke with their representative regarding the exchange, he mentioned this was not the fist time a customer was exchanging the product for this reason. However, Overstock has not done anything to correct this misrepresentation of a product. If you want to order dual blender / food processor, and don't mind the chrome finish, search for it under part number FPB-5CHPC, You will save yourself two dollars on the same product. Moreover, Overstock will charge you the return shipping charges if the return is a result of their misrepresentation. Nice way of making money Overstock. This is the last time I'll be doing business with your company.

I replaced two of my old, worn-out appliance with this one piece of machinery and it works great and looks good even if left on the counter! The food processor attachment maintains its power even when chopping bulky ingredience. The blender runs smoothly and it seems that I don't have to stop ever minute to scrape down the container. I love this appliance!

I use this every morning to make a smoothie. It grinds up ice cubes with out a problem. I use the food processor to chop up vegi's for soups and sauces. It also works very well. The only complaint it that is it a little loud, however my old blender (made by black and deker) was louder.

This has a smaller container than my former food processor, which died a painful death. However, I have a single household and it is fine for me. Doesn't take up much space. I was surprised there was no manual for operation but I have figured it out without one. Great price and value for the price. I am happy.

Using the blender/food processor I found it easy to handle and it's slim enough to place anywhere in my kitchen. The blender is so powerful it just takes a few seconds and its done. I'm a vegan and I prepare a lot of food items in the processor, the hummus turns out great! I like that the blender is glass. The all-in-one Cuisinart is the one to have. Thank you

I hoped to replace my old blender before it quit altogether and liked the idea of a compact combo of blender and processor. It does not exactly hit the mark even though it appears to be a quality appliance. The drive mechanism is the same as on the blender I have that is wearing out. The blender jar is wide with straight sides. Smoothies don't blend as well as they do in the more common sloping sided jar of other blenders. The processor has one blade so it slices or shreds- does not mix pastry like my others have. I chose this for its compact size and nice appearance but I think the functionality is only fair.

I have had this blender for over a year now and it does all of my blending, wet and dry without any issues.

The discription clearly states that it is a brushed stainless steel color but it is chrome....

I gave it a three star because it is so loud! You have to yell, "Fire in the hole!" when you use the processor, otherwise everybody in the room will lose their hearing. It is powerful, though.

Stable base, and powerful food processor. everything you could need in a sleek, nice looking food processor. The blender attachment is a nice bonus and everything about the item just screams quality purchase. I got my wife one a couple of months back and she absolutely loves it.

This kitchen tool is painfully loud. We were fortunate to receive this as a wedding gift last year. Since we cook A LOT at home, we have the need for a good food processor 1-2 times per week and a blender every now and again. We liked this model since you could save space with one base and two tools as attachments (blender and food processor). We used the food processor a few times but had to stop. Simply put, it was entirely too loud for us to use...to the point where we haven't used it in the past 6 months. It seriously HURTS to use - it's that loud. Instead we've been getting by with a hand blender and are looking to buy the larger 14 cup Cuisinart food processor. We've emailed Cuisinart's customer service twice to ask if our current unit should be this loud, but have received no response.

THe entire process of ordering was very easy. I purchased this as a gift for my son who lives out of state. I had it drop shipped. He is very pleased with the food processor and would recommend to a friend. THe sipment came very quickly and I would order again and have the purchase shipped. How easy that was.... I didn't have to wrap it!

The blender is very powerful (and a bit loud). It looks very nice as well. I was nicely surprised that the base is so light-weight. The glass blender is very solid and it has cups and ounce measures, as well as metric but who cares about that ;)) lol!! Someone mentioned that the blender is too square shaped, I did not find this to be the case at all, it is nicely rounded and my smoothie mixed just fine. And while I suspect that some of that shiny metal is plastic. overall I am very pleased with this product.
