Although I don’t use it much. It’s very usefull when I’m too lazy to chop or mince. I’ll bring it to a nearby technician then. =)

And yes, some electrical shops can fix some appliances when plugged into the wrong socket. My daugthers “Game Cube” was brought to Quiapo somewhere (Raon Street?) to be fixed. It didn’t cost much and it works now…

I have the exact same gadget from the US. Unfortunately, I did something stupid and plugged it into a 220v outlet. It worked on my 1st try. After that, nada! The bottom stated 110v ~ 220v so I thought it would work. Do you use a transformer? Do you know where I can have this fixed and resurrect my Cuisinart? boohoo =(

Buying it online at ebay can be a steal (I’ve found full cuisinarts for $50 with extras), but then you’d need to get an adaptor for the 110volts.

I also think Cuisinart and Oster are the only ones you should buy, since I’ve tried the other brands and they are so “palpak” when it comes to grinding nuts properly. I burnt out two food processors trying to make nutella. Cuisinart’s the only one that hasn’t failed me yet.

What’s the voltage requirement of your Cuisinart? 110? or 220?

Thank you!

My mini food prep occupies a permament space on my counter. It’s perfect for quick and easy tasks like making sofritto or pickle relish. The best feature, the clean up, takes just seconds!

The price has come down in the past few years. A good, sturdy Cuisinart model start at about $20.00 USD, while a higher end version costs around $40.00 USD.
