WE purchased the 9 cup cuisinart to replace an 11 cup we've had for over 20 years. The new 9 cup worked like a gem. The blade storage was much more functional and the extra bowl with side chute was a definite improvement.
This is a replacement for an older version. Takes longer to mix cookie dough. The blade wobbles on the stem and doesn’t sit flat on bowl base. Have to open lid often to mash mixture down to continue mixing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wanted a basic, good quality food processor. I am not an avid baker, but it sure does come in handy when a recipe calls for it. It is easy to clean and stores nicely.
The 9 cup processor and shoot is a great all in one unit. chops and shreds beautifully and the separate chute bowl allows continuous feed for as much as you need. Great unit, runs smoothly with little to any movement on the counter.
Well made machine! Easy to assemble and use. Replaced a machine I owned for 20+ years that was another Cuisinart. Runs smoothly and a lot lighter to move around than my previous machine.
