Does Amazon get substandard Cuisinart blades or is this how Cuisinart is now making all their new blades?

I bought a blade and it cracked after a few months. I just put my food processor away in the garage. Another blade doesn't seem worth it, but hand chopping herbs is very time consuming.

I've purchased these blades via local retail and also online thru Amazon, and can't tell the difference. Like many other products, they may not be the same quality as something made 20 years ago, but to my knowledge there is no tiered production like some items (trail mix for example) that has one blend for retail sale and a lower quality blend for "club store" sales. I worked in the food industry years ago and was aware of how some things were marketed, but regarding hard items everything I have purchased from Amazon is the same exact item I would receive from another online or local retailer.

Can't really answer for Amazon but the blade I received is a Cuisinart blade and performs fine for me

I don't have any way to answer your question as you don't state the reason for asking. The blade that came with my processor is fine. I haven't found it to be ddefective at all.

That sounds like a good question for Amazon customer service. The blade I order worked wonderfully...

Sadly, I just learned that you can't. I've had mine for over ten years and the blade snapped off while grinding coffee beans today. I called Cuisinart and learned that they stopped making replacement blades in 2001. The blades are now built in so the only replacement part you can get is the lid. Great quality and price so I'm buying another one today!

I just ordered one to replace my DLC7 and it does NOT fit on the shaft of the Cuisinart Custom 14 that I have. I will be trying the FP100 blade next.

I wish I knew. I am also looking for additional blades, I am assuming you already checked through Amazon?

I also don't know. I read once that the replacement blades are under a different maker, I just don't remember. Sorry

Good Day! I haven't replaced the blades, but try ULINE as they have many supplies or may lead you to the right vendor. Good Luck! ~V~

It's not. Look on cuisinart's website. Here's the address: http://www.cuisinart.com/catalog/product.php?product_id=299&item_id=401&cat_id=7

Well, I would suggest that you contact Cuisinart to be sure this blade is compatable.

The blades do fit my Cuisinart DFP-14 Custom 14-Cup Food Processor. There is evidently another 14 cup model that it does not fit. I had to learn which blades would work on my processor by trial and error. Amazon does not make the distinction. Ideally the description would state exactly which models each of the blade options fit. I had to return a couple of blades I ordered for this reason, but not the 3 piece specialty set you've inquired about.

I ordered two blades for two different machines, so I'm sorry but I really don't know... I usually go to the cuisinart web site and see what blade numbers are for each different processor. Good luck!

The dough blade is model #DLC-869TX. My Cuisinart is a model #DLC 8E. The specs for the part only mentions #DLC 8 models. If you buy and it does not fit, Amazon will request that you pay the shipping charges (both ways) should you wish to return it. It an inexpensive item so you may want to give it a shot. Or you might try going to a genuine Cuisinart parts website and perhaps they would know the answer. And good luck!

I'm not sure. I'm thinking not. But, I remember that I found some details about the product at Cuisinart's own web site. You may want to check it.

That's correct. The version sold in the US does not have the quad blade and it's not for sale as an add-on. If you go to their Aussie site, you can find the quad blade there but I don't know if they'll ship it to the US. I have the single blade. Works very well. The whole setup is about 3x as powerful as those tiny food processors and about 1/3 as effective as a full size standard cuisinart. Gets the job done for me though.

I don't think so but, you can check the Cuisinart site for the right model number then get it from amazon, that's what I did. They don't make all the blades for the 14 cup one so, it took me a while to make sure I got the ones I really needed.

Google replacement parts for cuisinart... I saw it for $25... On their website

I've never had a problem fitting parts together for either of my Cuisinart processors. Unlike Richard W.'s situation below, however, both were newer machines. That said, once when I needed both a new bowl and a new pusher, it was actually less expensive to buy a new machine, so perhaps I merely avoided a problem. The old processor still ran fine, but the metrics were on the side of replacing the whole machine. It was distressing to me that it should be that way.

The unit I received had the US standard blades. Sometimes the pictures may just be a representation of the product and not the actual product.
