The blades have some flex to them, but have been adequate for all the cutting I've done so far.

I had the Cuisinart electric knife for years and I dropped it. I caught the devil trying to find another one because I have all other brands and they could not compare to the quality of this knife. I am very happy to have purchased another one at last.

The blades are sharp and rigid enough for carving turkey. My only complaint was the cheap stand for the wooden storage block. I have also used the bread slicing blades, and they did an excellent job slicing warm fresh bread. You will be happy with this knife.

Blades are great. The bread knife slices bread easily and quickly. The meat knife hasn't had any problems cutting through ham, pork or beef. The blades are rigid, if that is your question. I still have the blades from my older Cuisinart that I've used to cut foam for upholstery projects and they're still as sharp as ever.

Anyone have any idea of the metal allows used in the unit? Of course you don't mind so much what the main shaft is made up, but I'm curious what the blade itself is make of..

I been having a hard time using mine. It jams easily. The blade stops during cuts.

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

I just bought mine a couple months ago, and, as it sounds, you are a kitchen gadget lover, too. I had a Cuisinart that I used it to death in less than 2 years. I hoped by the Kitchen-Aid reputation (and you can't beat nearly half price) that it will take the use at least as well if not better. There's a bit more to this set, too. I'm thrilled with it so far, and I'll bet you would be, too! Happy Holidays!

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

If you can find a cutter where you never need to replace a blade, please let me know! I've never seen such a thing; however, in my experience, titanium blades last much longer than steel blades. I do love my cutter, but don't buy it for the light feature. I am disappointed in Fiskars for that. Buy it for the size and cutting. Awesome.

I have used the Grundig about 6 times now to blend various cream type soups. It works very good indeed. However, since I have never used a Cuisinart, I can't say whether or not it's as good. From my brief experience with it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hand held immersion blender. Hope this helps you out in making a decision.

I've been using those same blades with this. They are know to be mild blades and this DE is also known to have a mild angle. I also can't get a super close shave unless I let it grow for at least three days. I've tried Wilkinson Sword blades and those do seem sharper. Try a sample pack and maybe you can find one that works better.

YES! It's a great appliance, and the price can't be beat. The blade is strong (It works exactly like my cuisinart. The only real difference is that the overall machine is lot lighter/ weighs less). I've had no problem making applesauce or nut butters.

I bought my phillips norelco about a yr ago and it is working great.......I have been buying these for yrs and have NEVER REPLACED the blades on ANY of them......I guess after 3 yrs or so I just buy another BUT......I imagine that you should contact Phillips Norelco directly about replacement blades......

Wish I could help - tried even the Cuisinart store no help my machine was too old (over 18 years old). Studied the connecting pieces seriously or have someone with a good eye to check out the grooves and decided to give it a go Bravo it worked. The other question I had what would I do with my Cuisinart - trow it out or spend the $8.

I use Shark, I've been very satisfied with them. I accidentally ordered the double blades, but found that it's very easy to snap them in half. I haven't looked to see whether this saves me any money, since the blades are so inexpensive to begin with.

I like the knife my friend has the same brand but not as good a model his works very well but gets. Hotter with prolonged use I have used mine for 4 hours straight without stopping his he needs to let rest every so often . I also like the blades that came with mine it easy to do small fish with the blades that are 1/2 the thickness but they can be bought separate . I have bought and and still have a Berkley knife and a tatertwister knife they was a a waist of money in my opinion . I hope this helps you make your mind .

I would say no it isn't worth the $$$. If you're going to spend this much for a blender you might as well spend a little more and get a blentec or vitamix. I've had the Ninja and now own a Blendtec and let me tell you it is night and day. Not too mention those ninja blades are scary.

Haven't had much of any issues there. ONce I thought I had actually damaged the inside surface down toward the blades. No chance on that. Cleaned up real nice after running it through the dishwasher. Other than that, the other responses seem to echo mine.

I am very pleased with the performance. the blades dull quicker than I expected but not the fault of the cutter. adjusting the strap for balance and ease of use is a little daunting but once done very helpful. be sure to prime the engine before attempting to start. That done, it starts right up. good luck.
