Design

The styling of this food processor is very sleek and chic with its stylishly moulded base finished with a die-cast exterior.

Cord storage is also present to avoid the mess of tangled wires around the appliance.

The included 40-ounce glass blender gives you a 5-cup capacity which is a sizable amount. The blender locks onto the base easily so is very convenient to use.

Pros and Cons of the DeLonghi 9-Cup Capacity Food Processor with Integrated Blender

Pros

Stylish, affordable and multi-functional, the DeLonghi 9-Cup Capacity Food Processor with Integrated Blender is a fine two-in-one appliance that serves its purpose well. Although the motor is only 400-watts, it does a reasonable job at processing hard foods. A good range of accessories are supplied to take on a wide range of food prep tasks.

The dishwasher-safe parts plus the die-cast base exterior makes cleanup easy.

Cons

Replacement parts are difficult to obtain according to some consumers so you may need to replace the whole machine if parts fail after the warranty period. However, given the low price of this machine it’s not something we’d be too concerned about.

Final Thoughts

If you need a food processor and a blender, but you don’t blend in high volumes then the DeLonghi 9-Cup Capacity Food Processor with Integrated Blender is worth taking a punt for. While it does lack the power and wider range of attachments pricier machines offer from the likes of KitchenAid and Cuisinart, it makes up for it in its versatility with the blender attachment.
