grinding, chopping, pureeing and emulsifying! This food
Processor utilizes an automatic reversible blade that can
blend, puree and chop, without you ever having to remove
or turn over the blade. One side of the blade is supersharp
and does great chopping herbs as well as to blend
or puree. The other side however is blunt edged and this

We were expecting a really small food processor considering what we had already read up online.
What came to us though was not that small, in fact it's just about the ideal size for everyday use.
Now, do not keep heavy expectations from the Cuisinart DLC-4CHB that it will puree for you, knead
dough and pulverize coffee beans. Nope, It Won't do any of that and if it manages to do so then the
motor will eventually seize up on you. What it is designed for however, and does rather well, is
chop and grind. That is about it -- don't try and push it to its limits. You paid less than $50 for this
Food processor so, why is it that you want to tax it as though it was a $200 appliance?

whines against anything coarse or dense. Naturally, a strict no-no to any leafy vegetable you wish to
chop and coffee beans too.
As for the blade and buttons, they are interlinked. Cuisinart says it uses something called the Autoreversing
SmartPower blade. This is just a fancy term for a simple blade that has two sides, like any
other blade. The difference though is the blunt side is designed to grind. Naturally, you get two
buttons -- chop and grind. When you chop the sharp side of the blades attack the ingredients and
when you press grind, the blunt side meets resistance. In other words, the motor can rotate the
blade in both directions -- clockwise and counter-clockwise. However, because of the dual management, we
Feel the engine is a weak link in the item. If you overheat the motor by pressing on either
Button for too long, chances are you will burn it out. Our advice is to alternate between chop and
grind to keep the motor cooled and effective.
Ultimately, cleaning this baby is super quick and effortless. Remove everything from the base and use a
dishwasher. Due to its simple design, it cleans quick. This is vital considering the size of the
Food processor and how you will most probably be using it on a regular basis.
