Fuck 2016.

HOOOOOOOLY SHIT. Never buying Cusinart.

edit: Shit this might have just turned me off of any kind of food processor. Cuisinart was a good brand right? Hows a cheap piece of shit from Walmart going to hold up?

Luckily procrastination saved me here. Never missed not having a food processor.

I have a blender and kitchen aid mixer.

They're nice to have for some stuff. I like making my own peanut butter.

 

[Morgenstern]

Thanks for the head's up. I feel sorry for folks who ended up getting some of the blade in their food.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

So I finally got around to ordering my new blade. Guess what I found?

Hopefully it ended up down the drain of my sink and not through my intestines.

Cuisinart is an excellent brand.

Mistakes happen. I wouldn't give up on a brand wholesale for this stuff. If it was a pattern, sure.

yikes, I hope everything is OK

We haven't used this since the recall was announced and I think the last time before that was a few weeks so... yeah I think we're in the clear.

I was actually glad to get a new blade, that thing is hard to clean and is (clearly) getting gross.

 

[captive]

crazy. just checked ours and there are no rivets on the blade.

but that is a massive amount of food processors.

Thanks for posting this OP. Gifted my parents one of these years ago.

Replacement blade showed up yesterday.

Looks good, old blade was defiantly a hazard.

 

[Paznos]

Just checked mine and it's one of the affected models, 3 of the 4 rivets have cracks in them..... thanks for this thread, i've filled out the form for a replacement.

 

[Easy_G]

Thanks for posting and bumping this thread. Mine is covered under the warranty and just submitted my form. Luckily I haven't had any issues, though my blade serrated edge was bent, so this is a nice replacement anyway.

 

[Timedog]

Oh fuck. Am I gonna survive?

 

[Spiral Insanity]

How apropos, just the other day I was cleaning ours and noticed a nicked out piece of metal on the blade--I thought it was designed that way and was trying to imagine what industrial engineering purpose would suit that. Looking at it now I can clearly see the cracks radially in the blade from each rivet. How exciting.

Congrats, you ate blade!

My blade is almost 20 years old and still looks great. I probably use my processor on a weekly basis. The white plastic base has yellowed like an SNES console but otherwise it's running great. Still waiting for the replacement blade.

 

[Iolo]

Wow. I finally got around to checking our blade, and of the four rivets all of them have hairline fractures. With a little more use, I am pretty sure that a piece would've cracked off, and it's not even that old.

Ouch. I don't actually have any Cuisinart products thank God since I buy cheapy stuff.
