Currently two mid-size Cuisinart food processors are the second and third bestselling food processors – the Cuisinart DLC-2009CHB Prep 9 and the DLC-10S Pro Classic. Cuisinart food processors are consistently ranked among the best available by both consumers and product reviewers alike. In fact, right now, Cuisinarts processors are six out of the top 10 bestselling units. Below is a food processor comparison table listing the attributes of two of Cuisinart’s best food processors:
Cuisinart DLC 2009 CHB Prep 9 9-Cup Food Processor
This sleek and compact processor comes in an easy to clean brushed stainless steel body. All of its parts are easy to clean too. You can just load them in the dishwasher. Extra parts include slicing and shredding discs, a chopping and mixing blade and a dough blade.
An extra large feeding tube makes this processor easy to use. The larger tube means less cutting or chopping of fruits and vegetables before processing.
The 9-cup bowl is great for a variety of projects both small and large. You can make everything from pizza dough to whipped icings and eggs. If you’re out of ideas for new creations, you can look to the recipe and instruction book for inspiration. The Prep 9 also comes with an instructional video.
The prep 9 is a fairly small machine measuring 10.13 x 7.75 x 14.75 inches. However, the 600 watt motor is powerful. The food processor comes with a full warranty too. The motor is covered under warranty for 10 years and the whole unit itself is covered for 3 years.
Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor
The Cuisinart Pro Classic is also one of the best food processors available in the market today. Although roughly the same mass as the Prep 9, the Pro Classic 7-cup is a bit more bulky in design due to its square corners. Its white color is crisp and clean looking and provides a different look versus the DLC 2009 CHB Prep 9. The DLC-10S Pro Classic carries about a $30 lower price point than the Prep 9, however, it has the same powerful motor.
The Pro Classic has most of the same features as the Prep 9. In fact the blades are interchangeable on the two units. It comes with an extra large feeding tube big enough to fit whole fruits and vegetables. It also has several blades and discs for slicing, dicing, chopping, mixing and kneading. It has a recipe/instruction book as well as an instructional video. Both the processors are simple to use with on, off and pulse control buttons.
The 7-cup bowl is ideal for projects slightly smaller than the 9-cup. The smaller bowl is compensated by a powerful motor. The warranty for the motor is 5 years while the unit itself is covered for 3.
The Cuisinart Prep 9 9-cup food processor and the Cuisinart Pro Classic 7-cup food processor are two of the best food processors available. Each offers many of the same great accessories and abilities. The main differences between the two units are the price, work bowl size and warranty. For $30 extra dollars, the DLC-2009CHB Prep 9 offers a 2 cup larger work bowl and 5 extra years warranty on the motor.
