Oster 4-in-1 Versatility 10 Cup 2 Speed Food Processor System in Black

Great Great Great!!! The dough blade a plus. The product is a steal for the price. I have been using the dough blade every week to make cakes and bread (1 lb at a time). Also used to cut veggies. It takes up less space on the kitchen countertop than a cake mixer. A multipurpose appliance in the kitchen. A must have if you like cooking and need a food processor for a reasonable price.

I am a baker and sell my goods at the farmer's market. I was motivated to buy this food processor based on the reviews and see if making pie crusts and scones could be easier. I am happy to report it can! I use the chopping blade to make pie crusts and they come out perfect every time. This is using gluten free flours which is no easy task. And it does help with scones too. I use the blending blade to mix the dry goods, then pop on the shredding blade to blend in the butter and it works great. The reviews were correct.. the manual on this food processor is very easy to use and understand. It is a very easy machine to use and I have no prior experience. Pay attention to the directions to unplug the machine before you open the cover! I really like this machine and recommend it.

I am really enjoying using my new Oster Total Prep 10-Cup Food Processor with Dough Blade . I had an older model that was fine. But this model is improved. I like that the plastic is BPA free. We hear so much about the dangers of chemicals in plastics these days. So this is a safe change that they made. This model also has suction feet that keep it securely in place when using it. My older model did not have that. And this model is also lighter than the older model. The cord has a storage compartment which I like because I don't keep my food processor out on my counter at all times. So I like that I don't have to wrap the cord around it to store it. All the parts fit into the bowl when stored which makes storage easy as well. This model comes with the dough blade. I am having so much fun with different bread recipes. I never attempted bread making before because it always seemed so difficult. But with this Oster Total Prep 10-Cup Food Processor with Dough Blade it is a pleasure. The dough blade is also great for making cookies and even pizza dough. the chute that feeds the processor has two different size openings. That's great for different size veggies. The blade allows you to slice. shred or grate. And the manual has instructions for each function as well a some recipes. I used to hate to grate cheeses for mac and cheese. But this processor makes that chore so much easier. And the bowl has measurement marks which I find to be helpful when I have to add different amounts of liquid or other ingredients. There is also a pulse feature that is good for certain types of food and recipes. They really put a lot of thought into this newer model. And I would definitely recommend it as a great addition to any kitchen.

I love this machine! When I received it, it was so well packaged that it couldn't be damaged. I was anxious to get started since it has been a long time since I have had one. I loved the cord storage which meant I could bring out the cord for the length I needed and not having a long cord hanging in my way. It was so easy to put together due to the easy to read instruction notes. The instruction booklet was small but printed (even with diagrams) in such a way you just couldn't mess up putting it together. I liked the instructions for using different foods in this machine. I needed cornflakes crumbs for a recipe I was making. I found I could crush to fine crumbs or to larger crumbs just by shortening/lengthening the time I pulsed it. I next tried the slicing blade and was amazed at how fast it is and no torn edges on my food – just a very clean cut. It is FAST! I have yet to try it on my pecans but I know it will do it with no problem. It is so easy to clean up. I don't have a dishwasher so by doing it by hand, I noted that there are no places for food to get stuck making it hard to wash. When I was ready to wash the parts, I noticed I had to tug on the base. I hadn't noticed there were suction cups on the bottom. This machine was NOT going anywhere. If there was a “con”, it would be that I couldn't store all parts in the bowl. I tried but I just couldn't get it all inside. This is a great food processor and yes, I would recommend it to a friend.

I have always considered purchasing a food processor and this confirmed every reason why it is a neccessity for any serious kitchen cook. The convenience and ease of use makes everything practical and will pay for itself with each use. It is not easy for me to cut onions and have tried various tools and this is quickiest and easiest. It finely chops them or coarsely chops them and cuts the time spent chopping them by hand by at least 2/3 of the time. I can add all the ingredients needed for a recipe and it will chop and mix everything with minimal effort and clean-up is always so easy. It takes longer to chill the salsa and let the spices blend with the food processor then it does by making the salsa by hand (i.e.), 1/4 time to chill and 3/4 to make by hand. The dough blade is an absolute added bonus, I am still familiarizing myself with the dough blade but it is already an essential tool which will make my bread recipes just as convenient as a bread machine. This makes the purchase of a mixer and blender obsolete, and maybe a juicer. This is a highly versatile kitchen appliance that is adaptable for many uses. It is a counter-top appliance not a seldom used in the cupboard appliance, with as many uses that you need, and clean-up is always so easy. My daughter was impressed by the convenience of a food processor and will probably have one of her own. My eyes are watering just thinking of the convenience this product has saved me.

I haven't had a food processor in at least 15 years and have recently been making cranberry/orange relish using a small electric chopper which would take me at least an hour to get the cranberries and orange all chopped, so I knew I needed a food processor. I researched all the food processors and chose this one based on the ratings and price and have been beyond pleased. It came very nicely packaged with a manual and I was able to easily assemble it and test it before washing all the parts. It is very simple to use and it's suction feet make it stay in place on my counter. The food chute is a nice size. It made my cranberry/orange relish in less than 5 minutes! Then I made gingerbread cookie dough using the dough blade by first kneading it a bit and then pulsing it and didn't have to do any mixing of the dough by hand and the cookies turned out great.

Best 10 cup processor for the price. Multiblade includes dough blade. Large feeder tube AND additional reducer for feeding smaller items. Suction cup feet won't slide around on the counter. Plenty of power. Slice/shred, mix/knead, chop/pulse buttons. Pleased with purchase.

This is a real sweet machine that will sure help make time in the kitchen much easier :-) We use it to grind nuts to make nut butter, grind whole grains into flour, churn cream into butter, grind meats, make dough for breads, cookies, and pizza, shred potatoes, carrots, and so much more. It is bigger, and takes up more space on counter (16 inches high), but works great! I tried using the kneading blade, but for some reason it wouldn't spin, so I put the multipurpose blade in, and in less than a minute, I had a perfect ball of cardamom bread dough. Then I put some big chunks of beef roast to chop up for my kitties, and took about 15 seconds or less. I really don't think the dough blade is necessary anyways because the multipurpose blade worked just fine! I love this machine because it's so much easier to make breads now-hard to do with arthritis and swollen fingers. The instructions are easy to follow, and includes 2 pages of guides for chopping, shredding, slicing, and kneading, with a list of foods, and how to use. Most pieces are plastic, except for the very sharp steel blade, and the 500 watt powered motor makes food processing quicker, and hopefully will last a long time. Has a 1 year limited warranty and BPA free, too. It's a little noisy and did move a bit on counter, but usually only takes less than a minute or so. Some food may take longer, but instructions say to not use more than 3 minutes continually, or will overheat. If that happens, just needs to rest 10 minutes or so :-) In case you want to chop ice, whip cream, beat egg whites, grind coffee beans, spices, any food with high oil content, slice or shred hard cooked eggs, marshmallows, or soft cheeses, pg. 5 of instructions say not to, because it could ruin the blade. It may not be a Cuisinart, but for under $50, I think it's worth it.

Used it to shred cabbage and chop onion; nothing major but it worked very well. Pretty much as I expected, can't wait to see how well it works for dough.

fairly easy to use. one dislike is that food can get lodged in the bowl handle. the unit has a convenient cord storage. so far we've used this thing each day since it arrived. clean up is rather easy ( aside from having to remove the bowl handle cap and spring assy to clean that out.)
