Cuisinart SMO-56 Smooth Operator 56-Ounce Blender, Brushed Chrome Review

This blender is amazing! I had a KitchenAid blender before which I thought was pretty good! Well was I ever wrong, this blender is powerful enough to:
1. Crush Ice with out being helped
2. Turn Skim milk into a thick drink, but not a shake
3. Make a perfect smoothie every time!
Some of the features I really like are:
1. The pour spout
2. The locking addition lid
3. The option to make it a regular blender or a smoothie blender
4. The stir stick - never had to use yet though!
5. POWER - and this baby is packing it!
This is not just an ordinary smoothie blender, this is a does it all blender- I have finally found a blender I am happy with! I only have one complaint - the base of the smoothie pitcher does not come off for cleaning without a screw driver! Other than taht cleanup is easy!

OK, like me for some reason you decided you wanted a food processor. Why? Who knows. Let's be honest, most stuff you need to slice up can easily be chopped using a knife. A good Santuko knife will do the job; but like Tim Taylor you want more power. If that's your need then this is a great machine. It comes with every blade you could ever want. It slices cucumbers well but so does a knife. Anyway, don't waste huge bucks on a big name machine when you can waste them on this one and be happy. It slices up everything and unless you are stupid beyond belief, you can't slice up your fingers. If nothing else it makes great bread dough. Pizza time. Hey, it really does a great job with pepperoni for that pizza, Much better than a Santuko. Come on, do you really have money to waste? If so, then waste it on this model.

With its sleek, retro design in black with stainless-steel accents, this compact 11-cup-capacity Oster food processor not only looks good on the kitchen counter, but it also features a powerful 500-watt motor that makes quick work of large and small tasks alike - use it for mixing, chopping, slicing, shredding, blending, and much more. Simply add fresh produce to its wide-mouth opening at the top, which is wide enough to fit many whole fruits and vegetables; gently lower food towards the cutting blade with the food pusher; and turn the dial from "off" to "on" or "pulse" to set the blades spinning. Choose the stainless-steel S-shaped chopping blade or the reversible stainless-steel slicing/shredding disc for easy food prep no matter what's on the menu: pasta with a creamy pesto sauce, homemade pizza with fresh vegetables, carrot cake or zucchini bread - the options are endless. For added convenience, the appliance provides a citrus-juicer attachment for making fresh orange juice in the morning, a gourmet French Fry cutter for restaurant-style fries, an additional fine slicing/shredding disc, a dough blade, and a handy spatula for scraping the sides clean, as well as an accessory case to keep all the parts neatly stored when not in use. The food processor/juicer offers a cord-storage compartment to help keep countertops looking tidy, and its removable parts clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

Cuisinart SM-CJ Citrus-Juicer Attachment for Cuisinart Stand Mixer, White Review

Good basic juicer attachment. Fits on mixer snugly, and doesn't bind, no matter bow hard you press. Because the juicer gets all it's power from the mixer, it's variable speed, which is a nice feature to have.
The only downside is that it's a bit of a pain to get on and off. You have to use the shaft of the juicer to unscrew a cap on the mixer, then use the plastic bowel of the juicer as a wrench to screw the entire assembly on to the mixer. This isn't too bad in and of itself, but I wonder how the plastic bowl will hold up under the stress. They don't make plastic wrenches for a reason ;-). I've had it for a month or two so far, and it hasn't had any problems though.

Cuisinart CBT-700 Poweredge 700 Watt Blender With Juice Jar Review

Cuisinart CBT-700 Poweredge 700 Watt Blender With Juice Jar
Average Reviews:

I bought this blender since it looked sturdy and the large glass jar is great and easy to clean. I used it to puree some Butternut Squash soup around Thanksgiving, and it did a good job with that task. I made the same soup a month later, and after I blended the third batch (glass jar full), the blender blades would no longer spin. The blender would power on, then hitting any of the buttons, puree, low, high, smoothie, etc., would result in no action. The motor would appearantly no longer turn.
Undaunted, I returned the blender to Bed Bath and Beyond where I bought it, and got a replacement for free. Great! I then used the replacement to blend another batch, and then upon blending a second batch at two minutes into the three minute blending time, it shut off, never to operate properly again. Same problem as the first blender of the exact same model. It would power on, but again, it didn't matter which button I pushed, the blades would no longer turn.
I don't know if this was a motor malfunction, or if the electronics (circuit board, etc.) somehow where damaged, but the blender was no longer of use to me or anyone else.
It is a nice looking appliance, the glass jar is great, easy to remove and clean, but my experience suggests you not buy this model.

Cuisinart CCJ-100 Citrus Pro Juicer Review

Cuisinart CCJ-100 Citrus Pro Juicer
Average Reviews:

You'd think it would be hard to mess up when designing an item that just juices halved citrus fruit, but they did. And how! There are three annoying features about this machine that interact to provide a supremely annoying user experience.
The first annoying feature about this juicer is that the pour spout juts out a mere 1/4 inch from the side of the machine. Since the machine is rounded and somewhat urn-shaped (fatter on top than on the bottom), you have very little space to get a glass or measuring cup near the body of the machine in order to catch the juice. Keep in mind that some measuring glasses can be rather thick, and you can easily see that this might be a bit of a problem.
Now for the other two problems. I should note that this machine has a decent amount of torque, and can indeed ream out a citrus fruit rather efficiently, leaving nothing but rind. The problem is the three little rubber feet on the bottom cannot stand up to the machine's torque. Push a fruit down on the top and the entire machine jerks to the side, whereupon the spout flinches away from its tiny area of proper juice-dispensing, and juice meets counter. You have to exert a considerable amount of force when pushing down the fruit just to get the thing to stay put. I had to use both hands to do this (one holding the lemon down, one pushing against the side of the machine, leaving none for the measuring cup). It's not an insignificant amount of force; you really have to brace your arms on the thing to keep it still.
Thus comes the third problem, which is the auto-reverse mechanism. About the second or third time you push down on the fruit and activate the machine, it goes the other way (clockwise instead of counterclockwise) in order to get more pulp and juice out of the fruit. However, I haven't figured out how to tell which direction it's going to go next (it's not a simple first time this way, next time that way), so when it decides to change, the machine jerks in the opposite direction of where you were expecting it to go. This operates in opposition to the force you are exerting on the side of the machine trying to keep it from moving. Again, hilarity ensues.
So, all in all, I am NOT impressed with this juicer. Unfortunately, it was the only one at the store. Perhaps another company will see the opportunity here and dare to make a juicer that does not have such an impressively compounded collection of design flaws.

I bought this without finding any other reviews. I wish I hadn't. I have a number of Cuisinart items in my kitchen and really like them all. This isn't one of them and I'm returning it today.
The pulp it ejects is mushy. Juicers I've had in the past were able to create a fine, dry pulp. I pick up this pulp, slightly squeeze it with my hand and get more juice. A lot of the pulp doesn't make it to the pulp container. Quite a bit of the pulp even escapes and ends up in a fine sheet on my counter.
Maybe I just expected too much from Cuisinart. I emailed their customer support to see if this was a known issue or to find out if I was doing it wrong (doubtful) and haven't heard back from them after more than a week.
The juicer looks great. I like the design and the finish. Other than that I dislike it very much.

Equipped with a 1000-watt powerful motor, this easy-to-use juice extractor makes it exceptionally convenient to enjoy fresh, healthy fruit and vegetable juice from the comfort of home. The unit's large 3-inch feeding chute can accommodate whole apples, pears, and other large-size fruits and vegetables (extra-large items may need to be cut into smaller pieces first). Choose from five speed settings by turning the control dial with the blue LED light ring, then watch as freshly extracted juice flows effortlessly from the anti-drip adjustable flow spout. The thoughtfully designed appliance also provides an exclusive easy unlock and lift system, a filter basket specially designed to reduce foam, and a high-quality design that runs quietly--no need to wake up the whole family when getting an early start on the day. Accessories include a 2-liter pulp container that makes it easy to discard unwanted pulp and a 1-quart juice pitcher for collecting juice to serve at the breakfast table or to store in the refrigerator for later. The unit's removable parts clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher, and a cleaning brush comes included. Housed in die cast and stainless steel, the juice extractor measures approximately 15-2/5 by 11-4/5 by 19 inches.
