Duet Blender and Food Processor
Product Description
For everything from fruit smoothies to crushed ice, this
countertop blender features a heavy-duty 500-watt motor and
powerful cyclonic blending action to deliver quick, thorough
results. Seven preprogrammed speed controls with LED indicators
are lined up alongside an oversized "on/off" switch to let
users pulse, stir, mix, puree, chop, liquefy, or crush ice with
the touch of a button. The blender's large 56-ounce glass jar
comes equipped with a drip-free spout, generous handle, and a
clear 2-ounce measured pour lid for adding ingredients while
mixing. For added convenience, the appliance includes a 3-cup
food processor attachment with feed tube and pusher,
slicing/shredding disc, and chopping blade. In food-processor
mode, users can slice, shred, or process ingredients right into
a 3-cup work bowl. Moreover, push-in cord storage helps keep
countertops tidy and all removable parts clean up easily by
hand or in the dishwasher. An instruction manual with recipes
comes included. The blender measures 6-7/8 by 8 by 15 inches
and carries a three-year limited warranty.

"Great brand, great value product!"
By, C. Rogers "discriminating buyer" (NYC)
"Cuisinart is of course a well-known reputable brand,
which was one of the primary reasons for purchasing this
product. The other main one was the dual combo of the blender
and food processor. Both are good-sized and very functional.
The blade in the blender is a bit small and therefore cannot
blend smaller quantities of liquid, which was a little
frustrating, but I used the food processor instead and it
worked fine. Overall, great price and value and allows for not
having to store two large appliances in a small
kitchen."
"Terrific combo for the price!"
By, Mari Hulick "mhNYC" (Bronx,, NY USA)
"We bought this blender/processor combo in February, a
friend was using this as a drink blender at a party and raved
about it. So, we bought it and thought we'd try it for a while
before writing a review. So far, after pretty steady use, we
love it. The ice crusher is terrific. The blender handles large
capacity well. Everything has come out great.
So, how do we answer the cons that others point out?
First, the noise. Uh, blenders are noisy! This doesn't seem to
be any worse than any others we've owned--it's about the same
as any other I've owned (Krupps, Oster). Then, the question of
an oder--there was a slight oily smell when we first started
using it, but that is long gone now. Yes, the food processor
part is small, this is a combo unit. They are small on all
combo units. And it's larger than the Krupps combo processor,
for that matter the blender is larger too! Some don't care for
the look. That's esthetic, and up to you. You see the picture,
either you like the way it looks or you don't.
All in all, we find this is a great buy. We don't need
a full-size processor, this small one is perfect for what we
use it for. And the blender is large and handles everything
we've thrown at it; drinks, smoothies, soups, pestos, etc etc.
You are not going to do better for this price."
"Good product!"
By, Debbi (Florida)
"I bought this as a replacement for another Cuisinart
food processor that gave up the ghost after 18 years of regular
use. It is well designed and a bit lighter than the older
models. It can be a little tricky to get the top on at first -
do it a few times with it empty to see how the mechanism works
and then it's easy to do. It seems to be able to handle any
blending/processing job that I give it including really thick
smoothies and baby food."

Product Description
Two powerful kitchen appliances have been brought
together in this blender/food processor by Cuisinart. The
heavy-duty motor base is up to both blending and processing
tasks, and won't "walk" on the counter, even when it's crushing
ice. Use the blender with its dripless pour spout to make and
serve 40 ounces of frozen drinks or to purée baby foods or
soups; use the processor to prep up to 3 cups of vegetables,
cheeses, nuts, and meats. With one motor base, it's simple to
keep the blender out on the counter and then bring out the
processor attachment for special tasks.
This is an amazingly sturdy product, with tight-fitting
lids, a heavy glass blender jar, and a motor that chops meat or
ice with equal aplomb. Most attachments are dishwasher-safe,
and the flat touch pad, which has seven settings (including ice
crush and pulse), is easily wiped down with a sponge. This dual
appliance comes with a booklet that explains how to use all the
features and lists 48 recipes, from cranberry-orange mimosas to
classic mayonnaise. --Maria Dolan

are saying:
"Smart, Sexy Machine!"
By, indigo (THE PLAINS, USA)
"I love this god among mortals of the blender world. I
love the superior control it gives the chef, the versatility,
and the sleek style. Cuisinart cannot be outdone in this
department.
I refuse to clutter my kitchen with gadgets galore.
This multitasker eliminates any need for a separate food
processor. The detachable one it comes with can easily tackle
the average chef's quantity/quality needs. (It meets the needs
of my household of 4).
Some people may prefer to have a separate 10 lb. food
processor, complete with menacing blades ready to slice up the
unsuspecting un-loader of the dishwasher....Not I.
I highly recommend the SmartPower duet to anyone who
wants to preserve counter/cupboard space (read: sanity). A wise
investment on my part, absolutely NO regrets!
Oh, and it crushes ice like a champ, great for
margaritas, slushees, whatever!"
"Brilliant Blender!"
By, Syyd "Syyd_Raven" (Buffalo, NY USA)
"This is a great blender, it does the job very very
well, its fast, and its got the food processor on it, for
someone who lives on the South beach diet, this is amazing.
Smooths, purees, mashed cauliflower, and the occasional
drink!"
"An excellent purchase."
By, Aspiring Chef (NY United States)
"I was looking for a food processor for a while now, my
hubby came across this product and we decided to purchase it.
Although, we read a few mixed reviews, I am happy with the
product. It is powerful and it is not any louder than any other
blenders I have used before (Osterizer 10 speed blender). The
food processor is small and good for a couple. You can't beat
it for this price!"
"Excellent purchase!"
By, Wanda Phillips "content crow" (Seattle,
WA)
"This has to be one of my best buys of the year. I looked
around at several different models of food processors and this
one fared well in reviews and options. We needed something
compact, to fit into our small space, and we didn't want to
trade power for size. The size is perfect for cooking for two
to four adults. My wife uses it to make a variety of sauces and
chopping ingredients for dishes. It's relatively quiet
(compared to our other kitchen appliances) and reliable. It's
easy to use and it's compact so it's easy to store and
retrieve. In fact, we store it in an overhead cupboard. The
dual use is brilliant. We can switch out when we need (but we
mostly use the food processor). The blender glass is great for
both hot and cold food. It's fast. I got to use it the other
day for grinding hazelnuts and I had hazelnut gruel in moments.
A bonus for us is the chrome finish matches our other kitchen
appliances."
