What do you ladies think of the 9 cup exact slice? It will be the tsv Sunday.

I have the 13 cup one and love it! It's fantastic and has saved me so much time. I love the amount of food I can do at one time with the 13. No more having to empty the bowl like I used to with the 9 cup. I'm sure it will work great provided it has the same adjustments available as the 13 cup.

I have the nine cup and it's a perfect size for me. I have such limited counter and cabinet space so I have no room for multiples of anything. I need the "one size does it all" for our needs. This fits on the counter next to my toaster and I still have some room. I love the little bowl. I really hate to have to stop and wash a bowl so I can continue on with whatever I'm doing. I like the new updates to the disks and stems. I have the original model.

I would like to know how well it dices, i.e. onions. Can they do that on the show so we can see?

I have a 30 year old Cuisinart. I need to replace to top but it will cost close to $80. They just recalled the metal blade. I think I want this but just not sure if they make them like they use to. Recommendations appreciated.

My cusinart was 34 yrs old, heavy as hell and clunky, with recalled blade and bowls that needed jiggering to lock etc. Out with the old in with the new! I dont need a huge processor anymore! I think 9 cups will be fine for me. I love the adjustable slicing and shredding discs. It may not last as long as the Cuisinart did but i doubt i will either!! 😬

They do not dice; they chop. Big difference

It slices them but not a dice or mince. The Kuhn Rikon chopper is great for mincing and dicing.

I know that KitchenAid has and still does make a great product. What's driving me nuts is in every demonstration there's a bunch of food stuck in the corners of the lid well they're not actually corners since it's round but you get the drift. She has not addressed whether it is chopped or sliced or just excess that didn't get processed. She just ignores it

My cusinart did the same thing, if you over filled it. Also when she shredded she had little end pieces left on the disc. That also happened with my cusinart. It helps if you evenly push on the pusher, She was talking and working the machine at the same time. Hard to do. I personally think she was frenetic, made too many things and didnt spend enough time explaining the machine.

@Shawnie

I ask because assuming you're making a recipe that calls for x number of sliced or diced zucchini and 1/4 is stuck in the lid...do you simply clean it into the bowl with the rest or does it need to be run through again?

Is the stuff in the lid cast off material or processed material?

I can almost understand some mistakes and not mentioning things during a live demo, but she was doing the same things on the pre recorded demo that was a secondary video on the site. The hosts always kept stressing her winning the competition for validation of her being there but it still doesn't make her presentations thorough.

I noticed that and it absolutely drove me nuts. I guess I get it from my mother, but when I cook, I use every morsel. I did order the TSV food processor but I'm considering cancelling the order today for that very reason!

When i watched the Food Network, they would pour batter out of a bowl into a baking pan and leave half of it in the bowl. My mother taught me to scrap everything into the recipe. I don't like to leave half of it in the prep bowls. I guess I am OCD but it is maddening.

I believe it is the end pieces. You need to push all the way to the bottom so that everything goes thru the disc. If you let up because you are talking then that last piece doesnt go thru the shredding or slicing disc. Sometimes you get an end piece no matter what you do. At least that was my experience with my old cusinart. Also cheese needs to be very very cold, almost frozen to shred or slice. I suspect by the time she got to some of those demos her cheese blocks were room temperature which makes them limpy and hard to push thru any disc.

I have the 13 cup and it dices. I don't think you can go wrong with these.

I have still not received my order yet, although it should be here tomorrow. Does anyone have feedback on it? Reviews have not exactly been glowing.

@Ilovetea I have it and I wrote a review giving five stars before I should have. It is a nice unit and I had no problems with it starting out of the box. All components must be lined up properly and this is a safety feature. The buttons are not hard to push but they are firm. The main issue I have with this processor is the slicing and shredding discs. I sliced potatoes the first day I had it and no problem. Everything else I have tried to slice or shred is a hot mess. At least one third of the food gets caught between the lid and the slicing disc and in big chunks. This is in my opinion a design flaw. There is too much space between the discs and the lid. This is really the only negative I have with the unit but it is a deal breaker for me. It's going back. If you can live with food getting stuck between the discs and the lid you will be fine with this unit. Good luck and I hope you love it!

I practiced with the slicing and shredding blades. There is a learning curve and you need to pack the food in the right shoot. I was surprised to see that a potato is processed on low. Sliced fine and shredded fine. I did not have a lot of food at all on the sides etc. No more than my old cusinart. But the buttons are hard to push. You have to push exactly on the word. I am going to try again to see if they loosen up. AT this point i am not happy with the touch pad. BTW a roma tomatoe needs to be sliced near medium or you get a tomatoe slushy. I want to like this thing. I just hope the pad will loosen. I may call them and see what they say. I called they said the pad will loosen up.
