Question: I need a new center post - have found one on B&D website - wonder if available on Amazon.com?
Document: I bought the Black and Decker FP2500B Food Processor in November of 2010. I wanted it to use in our winter home. I really don't use a food processor all that much but when I need one, I want it available. I really only started to use it this past December, more than 2 years after I bought it. While cleaning it after the 5th use, I noticed that the center post/ bowl coupling is cracked.
Get the 10 cup, it's only a few dollars more than the 8 cup. Nice compact unit, the suction cups on the feet really work! Feels like I'll pull the granite top off. Hope it will last like my 40 year old Hamilton Beach,( broke a blade and no replacement parts available), but the B+D had good reviews, and what a great price on Amazon!
Worst of all, I use it most often for shredding cheese, and after a year of this, the slicer/shredder disk broke just like every other model I've ever used, and incomprehensibly there are no replacement parts available on Amazon?! The prices for buying a replacement slicing disk online, including shipping, are comparable to the price of a whole new food processor through Amazon! What a disappointment.
I bought this one after seeing what was available on Amazon. Its price, capacity, and the reviews lead me to get this one.I have just used it to make hummus, which was my primary reason for buying it.It is simple in design, large, and I see no problems with it. It has suction cups on the bottom which keep it very steady.
After trying to replace my cracked jar on a similar model and finding the prices exorbitant,  I found this on Amazon for half the price of just a replacement jar. Arrived in good time and serves the purpose and now I have extra 'tools' between the old broken processor and this one. Thanks!
Hard to use & nothing fits correctly so the first time I used it part of the lid broke. The second time, more broke off. I have used it maybe 10 times and it's now got so much missing it spews food all over my kitchen. Bad, BAD design. I wouldn't take another one of this model or another B&D if it was given to me.
Have not yet tried puree function.Like most B&D; products, it does appear to be made to last. I'm guessing the motor will long outlast the food container.It is also safe, since the feed chute is long enough that you would have to be determined to get a finger caught on a blade. Will not function without top in place.I like the capacity, one reason I purchased this model.No regrets on the purchase.
I understand the B&D; is trying to make sure no one gets hurt using this thing but...geezz.I own several higher end appliances from Kitchen Aid and Cuisinart. No one is going to mistake this food processor for one from either of those two companies. That being said, at $60 bucks it is one third the cost of a comparable sized Kitchen Aid unit.I have owned this unit for a couple of weeks and have used it on about a dozen different chores.
The Black & Decker FP2500 I purchased didn't have one of the parts (Disc Stem # 77789). I am very disappointed in Amazon and Black & Decker. I was led to beleive that I was getting something I didn't receive. I spent an extra $15.00 thinking I was getting this great multi functioning food proccessor. I come to find out that the extra part I need so I can slice and shred cost an additional $19.95. I am very disatiafied! !Greg
I bought this wonderful B&D; food processor after a disappointing experience with theCuisinart DLC-4CHB Mini-Prep Plus 4-Cup Food Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel. I was looking for something small for my one-person kitchen. This wasn't it. After attempting to make a small batch of nut butter, with disastrous results, I boxed the Cuisinart up and dropped it off at UPS on my way to Wal-Mart, where I bought this B&D; food processor for $39.95.
Answer: I really would not know because I never had a problem with mine But for my opinion, I would get hold of the mfg. and then compare to amazon.com they can help most of the time.
