Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart BDH-2 Blade and Disc Holder
Customer Review: Nice to have.
Summary: 3 Stars
I should have given this one more star, but it won't let me change it...I couldn't believe that my husband got me this along with my processor, because of the price. I thought I could throw stuff in a drawer and save the [...]. That seems really steep, the only thing is, there is no better way to store these items. I can't believe how nice it is to have all the pieces in one place and not have to search for them and risk cutting yourself. It really is great for being organized and safe. I don't think a child could open it, I even have trouble! I wonder if the latch will last a long time. It seems to act weird and sometimes I can't get it to snap shut without pushing really hard. I'm scared I'm going to break it. It's almost impossible to open if you have wet hands, the gizmo is so small and slippery. I do love the item though, and I guess once the money is spent, I don't worry about it, and only enjoy the slickness of having everything that I need several times a week ready and waiting in one very organized holder.Customer Review: Does the job.
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally thought to put everything in a tupperware container but I hated how unorganized it was looking so I was just keeping them in the cabinet until last week I opened the cabinet to have a blade flying out at me. I moved just in time as it almost got my arm and toes. Whew! It was then that I knew I NEEDED this holder. I ordered it right away and received it this afternoon. I immediately put the blades in. The design is so simple yet so amazing. I love the lock on the front however I do not like that there is no bottom, I can still cut myself on the blades if I accidentally touched the blades from underneath. I understand this would not be much of a problem if this was sitting on the counter but mine won't be, it's in the cabinet where I have to bring it down each use. I think I will be adding on a Plexiglas bottom for added safety. Overall it does it's job and keeps you overall safe.Customer Review: Nice Case -- Bad Latch Design
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this case to store the new regular metal, dough blade, slicing and grating blades that came with my Cuisinart food processor. It offers a nice, if a bit flimsy, place to store them.
Now for the real problem, the latch. Whatever you do don't turn it all the way to the open mark -- if you hear a click once you do it is too late. Not really, you can disassemble the latch by removing the two phillips screws from the bottom. Then, remove the latch assembly and reinstall it carefully to make sure it latches again. Otherwise, you will have a permanently opened blade and disc holder. It is a very temperamental design. One which I dought will hold up over the long haul. I intend to treat it very gingerly and hope it lasts.
Meanwhile, at least I have a place to keep my blades and discs. If kept in the drawer I am afraid they would get damaged.
Customer Review: Not a safety device for homes with children
Summary: 1 Stars
I am disappointed in several aspects of this item. The first is that the cutting accessories for the DLC-5 Cuisinart do not fit in the box, despite being shown as an accessory for this processor on Amazon. Additionally, it is quite large and bulky, requiring more space than the food processor itself! Most importantly, I specifically purchased this item after reading reviews about how sharp the Cuisinart cutting blades are and how great the Blade and Disc Holder is for keeping the blades away from children. This is *not* a child-proofing device. The entire bottom of the "box" is open. While the cutting edges are protected when the holder is locked and sitting on a counter or table top, you can easily cut your fingers by picking up the holder and sticking your hand inside through free access on the bottom side.
Customer Review: My Review
Summary: 2 Stars
When I purchased the Cuisinart DLC-5 7 cup Capacity Food Processor from Amazon they also recommended this Cuisinart Blade and Disc Holder, so I got it. I purchased them for a Xmas gift. Unfortunately when my mom and dad opened them Christmas morning all excited about the disc holder. They do not go together. This food processor had the discs attached to a plastic tube that hooks into the bottom of the processor, the disc holder has space for the discs that don't already come attached, that they would come apart and go into the disc holder box. I know this is hard to understand, but all I can say is make sure that if you purchase this disc holder that you get a Cuisinart food processor that has one tube and several discs and not several discs that each have there own tubes riveted and attached together.
