I have been using 7 cup Cuisinart food processor for over 15years, lasted very long until the lid broke. Bought the new one and do not like it, feels very flimsy and don’t like the locking mechanism. Motor and speed is not as powerful as previous one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear your new food processor hasn’t met the expectations set by your previous model and appreciate you sharing your experience. Over time, product materials and designs can evolve to incorporate updated safety features, manufacturing processes, and efficiency standards, which may result in differences in weight, feel, and operation. Ensuring the lid is fully aligned and locked can help optimize performance, but we understand the adjustment can be frustrating. Thank you—your feedback helps us improve future models and design enhancements.
I’ve only used my new 7 cup Cuisinart food processor once so far and it was wonderful. Save me so much time instead of hand shredding all of the zucchini for zucchini bread for our animal shelter volunteers. Thank you, Cuisinart
Love my new Cuisinart 7-cup food processor! Does a great job, is easy to use and easy to clean! Also, I like how all the parts are self-stored in the processor, as I have limited storage space in cabinets and drawers.
My first use of the processor was a great success! I used it to make dog biscuits for my pooch. Before I used the mini processor and now I can make two batches at once. Works fine and there is less to clean up with this sized unit.
A beautifully designed 7-Cup Food Processor, so much nicer and easier to use than I had expected. Sometimes you get lucky and without a doubt Cuisinart nailed it with this food processor. Effortless shredding, cutting, chopping, mixing. The snap on lid is seamless and so easy to handle. No broken or chipped parts to worry about. It's all there and the clean-up is simple. Love the storage solution they created for the bowl and blades. Can't recommend this 7-Cup Food Processor enough!
