Robot Coupe R2 DICE

[@strongfp]

For those who don't know what this ad is really for and where this machine is mostly used, you are obviously one of those people who either work in an office and never worked in a restaurant your entire life. This is the most widely used food processor in any top end kitchen around the world, even watch iron chef and you will see a few of these. The price range is from 850 - 1500 dollars depending on who you know and where you live, but this thing could probably blend an iron railroad spike.

Not sure about the iron railroad spike, but I know it'll blend just about anything you throw at it. It's a bummer it's out of the price range of most of us, but I'm sure there are some who saved for it, got it, and don't regret their purchase decision!

The cleaning process can be lengthy though. Used it for Parmesan cheese and I literally have to put cloth napkins underneath the entire machine just to minimize the cleaning process.

What happened to the camera? Not very good

It's so sad that Cuisinart no longer sells the chute attachment for their FPs. I wonder if there was a patent conflict with Robot Coupe.

[@rachiti]

You are correct. It was a patent conflict ie. Robot Coupe owned the patent. I was looking at Cuisinart for my food processor based on America's Test Kitchen review. After seeing how their safety release traps food & is unable to be cleaned, their blades are now all attached to a single 'stem' system, and the option Robot Coupe has for dicing...I'm going to save up for a Robot Coupe R2 Dice instead. Of course it helps that my husband used to repair commercial catering equipment so it will be worth the wait after he showed me this video.

[@seikibrian8641]

rachiti I used to have a 14-cup Cuisinart, and I had almost every attachment they made including the chute. When I changed career goals away from catering I sold it. Dumb! I got a KitchenAid FP two years ago, but it's just not the same. I'll have to follow your lead and save up for a Robot Coupe.

[@cnnw3929]

I have to admit, the R2 would be a far better option than most food processors designed for the home. The versatility is just better, and the Robot Coups are not safetied to death like the Cuisinart lower models are.

[@seikibrian8641]

To update my previous post, I couldn't justify the cost of a Robot Coupe but I hated the KitchenAid; so I sold the KA and bought another Cuisinart 14-cup. The chopping blade was recalled shortly after I bought it, and I'm on the (long) waiting list for the re-designed one. I'm going to check to see if the continuous feed chute for the Waring Pro will fit my Cuisinart (they're similar designs from sister companies), but if not it's no great loss for me since I don't cook for large groups much anymore.

[@cnnw3929]

The Waring chute might fit, as both look similar. I may have a chute for a Custom 11 around somewhere, but I know that won't fit a Classic 14.

How much is this thing?

Have you tried to dice sweet potatoes?

Your camera man needs to be fired!

Video quality really sucks.
