- this product does everything you purchase it to do. sturdy, processess and blends ... and looks nice when out in your kitchen.
- Good product. Good price.
- It does everything that it's supposed to do. Does it well. Looks fine on the counter. Reasonably priced.
- This has to be one of my best buys of the year. I looked around at several different models of food processors and this one fared well in reviews and options.
We needed something compact, to fit into our small space, and we didn't want to trade power for size.
The size is perfect for cooking for two to four adults. My wife uses it to make a variety of sauces and chopping ingredients for dishes. It's relatively quiet (compared to our other kitchen appliances) and reliable. It's easy to use and it's compact so it's easy to store and retrieve. In fact, we store it in an overhead cupboard.
The dual use is brilliant. We can switch out when we need (but we mostly use the food processor). The blender glass is great for both hot and cold food. It's fast. I got to use it the other day for grinding hazelnuts and I had hazelnut gruel in moments.
A bonus for us is the chrome finish matches our other kitchen appliances.
I still use my immersion blender for smoothies in the morning because I can make them in the same container I drink them from and I do the dishes.
- I really hesitated about buying a Cuisinart brand item.
- I lost all respect for Cuisinart after having to deal with its huge, horrible, engineered by satan Grind and Brew coffee maker. But since this particular item was such a bargain, 34 dollars, refurbished and since I needed both a blender and a processor I capitulated. So far I am happy as a clam, it works beautifully. As for being refurbished it came absolutely perfect. No dings, no scratches, it looks brand new and runs brand new. The Thanksgiving holiday coming up will tell me if it is going to take heavy duty use. We are cooking a huge traditional dinner for 18 of our nearest and dearest and I expect both the blender and processor to have one heck of a work out.
This is the second refurbished item I have bought. Both arrived looking and performing as if brand new. And both were dirt cheap compared to regular prices. If these two items continue to perform as well as they do and if they can last a reasonable amount of time with normal use then I think I have found a way to get huge bargains for the things we need.
- This is a great blender, it does the job very very well, its fast, and its got the food processor on it, for someone who lives on the South beach diet, this is amazing. Smooths, purees, mashed cauliflower, and the occasional drink!
- I love this god among mortals of the blender world. I love the superior control it gives the chef, the versatility, and the sleek style. Cuisinart cannot be outdone in this department.
I refuse to clutter my kitchen with gadgets galore. This multitasker eliminates any need for a separate food processor. The detachable one it comes with can easily tackle the average chef's quantity/quality needs. (It meets the needs of my household of 4).
Some people may prefer to have a separate 10 lb. food processor, complete with menacing blades ready to slice up the unsuspecting un-loader of the dishwasher....Not I.
I highly recommend the SmartPower duet to anyone who wants to preserve counter/cupboard space (read: sanity). A wise investment on my part, absolutely NO regrets!
Oh, and it crushes ice like a champ, great for margaritas, slushees, whatever.
- I read the reviews on this pretty thoroughly before purchasing it. I did check the plastic base of the pitcher - and like someone else mentioned, I too found a hairline crack. I called the company and they gave me no problem - they are sending a new one. I have still used it a few times, and it seems to work great. We are very happy with it so far - it is a million times better than our last blender.

This is an easy to use and simple product. Often food processors are too complicated to get that much use. This one is straight forward. It is also powerful. Crushing ice is no problem.
- Food processor combo does the job
- I enjoy using this unit and the only negative is that it is a bit small for the food processing portion or the unit. Does the job but I should have picked a little bigger one. If smaller is what you are looking for this is a good buy... and easy to store because of size, too.
- I have the white version of this item for 7 years! I received it as a wedding gift. Yes it is very loud, but it's the first item like this I've ever owned, so I didn't have much to compare it to. But it's easy to clean, works fantastically, and has nice design. It has worked great until about a month ago when a friend was using the food processor at a party, to chop something. We heard this awful grinding noise and smoke started coming out! The black part between the base and the attachment shattered and melted all over the place.
I am not so disappointed, as I got 7 years out of this appliance, but it seems most people experience this problem much sooner.

- I bought this 6 months ago. I am already looking online for replacement parts because the base to the blade cracked rendering the blender useless. It is so loud, I have to plug my ears and it scares my kids. The food prossesor purees everything to a pulp, even when you pulse it just a few times. The glass blender is heavy, akward, and drips all over when you pour. I paid 80$ for this at a department store, lucky it was a gift card. For a Cuisinart, I thought this would be quality. Keep looking.
- I bought this blender and food processor [...] thinking that it was a 'good buy'. This is the worst blender I have ever owned! It went back! I wanted a blender with a glass jar and flat buttons that did well at blending ice for smoothies and making milk shakes. This blender makes a lot of noise/vibration and doesn't do that well at blending anything. The base is stupid, its a big hollow piece of plastic and after using it 2-3 times it started to leak! I hate all the bulky parts that come with this thing. If you need a blender just buy a blender!
- Believe the reviews. This product is not worth your money
- You might think that you're saving space by getting this appliance, and you're right - you'll be saving lots of space because this product is going to end up in the garbage. My food processor became defective after 3 uses. The food processor blade got stuck on the gear box stem in a funky position, so it won't work turn, and it refuses to come off.
Even if you don't have any problems, the food processor is wholly inadequate for most humanoid life forms. I kidded myself into thinking I wouldn't mind pureeing my butternut squash soup in six batches, or making pesto in three batches. I was wrong.
The blender is like your coworker who does just barely enough not to get fired. And the button controls are like the food processor/blender version of Windows Vista - confusing, clunky and counterintuitive.
Cuisinart seems to be using the inkjet printer business model with this product, where they suck you in with an affordable price and then slam you with their $20 toner cartridges. Make money on the machine, and then keep on making money with parts that break and need replacing.
Invest in a real food processor and blender. You'll thank yourself.
- Buyer beware! Mine broke trying to shred cheese with it. Seems the black gear housing between the motor unit and the blade is garbage, not well designed and fails. Replaced under warranty but I bought unit with the expectation of being able to use it...
- A piece of JUNK! Broke after 1 month of daily use
- I make protein shakes every morning for breakfast with ice cubes, frozen fruit, protein powder and milk. The food processor function did a decent job of breaking up the ice and frozen fruit. The stir function was a joke, because it didn't do anything after I added the powder and milk. I ended up stirring everything my self with a spoon. After 2 weeks I noticed a strange high pitched whirring sound and a little bit of clacking, like the base motor was spinning uncontrollably after I stopped the blender. Two weeks later the whirring and clacking became 50x louder and sounded like a loose part was spinning around inside the base. I thought the base was going to explode in my face. This piece of junk is going in the trash.
- Product dosent hold up to claims
- Working bowl broke after grating cheese the first time! Customer support would not warranty the product or stand by it's product.
The problem with this unit is the plastic is extremely cheap.
- Not even worth the one star I gave it...
- I really thought Cuisenart was a reliable brand so purchasing the blender seemed logical. Well, the second time we used it, my kitchen began to fill with smoke and the machine's engine burned up. I wish I had kept my old blender but I wasn't that wise. I really feel like this is a total waste of money.
- Run, don't walk, away from this product!
- I thought I was killing two birds with one stone when I placed this combo on my wedding registry. I can honestly say, it's the only thing I absolutely hate that I asked for. It is loud, ineffective, and the processor never really worked. Did I say loud? I'm not kidding when I tell you that my ears HURT when I use it! I wish I had never given up my old Kitchenaid blender. I finally threw away the processor parts and ordered the Kitchenaid KFP750. I will also toss the blender when I buy a new one. I won't even donate it. I wouldn't do that to any charitable organization!
- DO NOT BUY CUISINART PRODUCTS
- Cuisinart customer service is horrible. My blender was defective from day one (strong electrical smell, doesn't do what is advertised). When I called customer service. I was instructed to send $10 ADDITIONAL (the blender was over $100) and ship the base to the company, which would be an additional $10 - $20. WILL NEVER USE A CUISINART PRODUCT AGAIN!
- Worked great for two months...
- Like many other reviewers, I really liked this blender until it stopped working after about 2-3 months. Used it almost exclusively for making protein/fruit/veggie shakes every morning. It just couldn't handle the load and the motor burned out. It's still under warranty, but even if they repair/replace it, I'm in the market for a more powerful, heavy-duty blender that can handle making a simple daily shake.

- I got this blender as a Christmas gift 1 1/2 years ago. It looked very nice and the glass jar and base were sturdy. I used it mainly for smoothies (and Margaritas over the summer; used the food processor part just a couple of times). However, I noticed that just after a few uses, it began struggling, to the point that I was adding one fruit at a time or one or two ice cubes at a time, not to bog down the motor which seemed to be in CHF. Recently, it just died ...
Now, I am in the market for another blender. After reading many reviews, I am going to purchase another Cuisinart (SB-5600). I'll keep you posted.
- Love It Until The Motor Dies
- We received this blender for our wedding, and used it for blending smoothies and crushing ice for drinks. We loved it until the motor quit suddenly within the first year. The store was kind enough to replace it, and we loved our second one for almost six months, when it died. We exchanged it again, but it also died within a year. We just celebrated our third anniversary, and have gone through three SmartPower Duets in that time. I know, it sounds like we abuse the blender, ask it to blend rocks, beat it with a baseball bat, but the truth is we only use it for fruit, ice, and juice. In my opinion, a blender should be able to handle this.
I would NOT recommend this product unless Cuisinart does something about making the motor last longer than a year. You'll be buying a new one soon!
