Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my second DLC-10, now DLC-10SY (7 cup). My last one gave me 15 years before the bowls cracked, so good value. Cost of the bowl set is almost the cost of a new one, so a no-brainer. Now I have backup blades, knife .... I compared this to Cuisinart FP-8SV which is an 8 cup unit, but really no comparison. The 8 is feels flimsy and cheap compared to the 10. The 10 has a much more powerful (and heavier) motor and comes with a much longer warranty. As important, the feed tube is much wider on the 10. Also improved is the locking mechanism. Removing the feed tube on the old 10 was a bit of a puzzle lock and inconvenient. The 10SY totally solves that, and it is a snap to take the feed tube on and off. The 8 has no lock at all, I think because the feed tube is so narrow that it is nearly impossible to accidentally get a hand or finger down the tube and into harms way. Price difference is about $30, but you get that back in the convenience of a larger feed tube, higher build quality, and longer warranty and durability.
