I own a 16 cup Breville Sous Chef Peel and Dice and also a mini food processor, but often found that the Breville was too large to do a good job on standard food processing of smaller batches with the S blade, and the smaller container it came with or my mini one were too small. The Breville also does not have a dishwasher safe container and has a TON of parts to wash so for a simple mid size project of just using the S blade, it felt a bit cumbersome to have to hand wash so many parts. So it occured to me that maybe what I need is a more basic mid size food prosessor for quick everyday use and then just use my 16 cup Breville for large projects. I found this 10 cup Cuisinart, and the fact that it has fewer parts to wash and they are dishwasher safe, plus the parts store insiide of it, made me feel it was a good option. So now I leave this 10 cup mkdel on my counter and pull the large Brevile out when needed. This Cuisinart does not seem nearfly as robust, as the whole thing shakes and is loud even for an easy batch of hummus, but since the feet have suction cups it doesn't move around the counter when shaking at least. It seems that the loudness and shaking do not affect the functionality and it works well and the container and lid pieces can be washed in the dishwasher along with the blades. For 20 years I have cooked every meal for my family entirely from scratch and do not purchase prepackaged or canned foods. I cook a lot every single day so for me having multiple processors makes sense. If I could only own one it woukd be a larger and more robust option than this model because I cook and bake a lot, but for my purposes of needing a mid sized machine that was easy to clean so that I don't always have to use my huge machine and spend forever washing all the parts and deal with the issue of smaller batches being too small for the huge bowl and too large for the mini bowl, this 10 cup Cuisinart is great.
This food processor is a real powerhouse. My last Cuisinart food processor lasted over 20 years. This one works great and has a smart design that stores the blades in the bowl. I love it!
this a nice size, its louder then my old vintage one. It shredded cheese very well! I love the work bowl for sure. I love the material and it feels well made. It seemed to take longer to do chores then my old vintage one too. I tried to do bread crumbs and Im so use to the vintage one I couldnt believe how long that took. so Im really not sure. It could just be because Im so use to the older one that has so much power, like a half horse power but there are things I like about this one that didnt have. Like that one wasnt leakproof. I love the way this one is and it closes really nice! I wasn't fond of how long it took to make pie dough either. But its new and my old one isnt any more and you cant find parts for it either.
Very sleek and powerful machine. Looks great, chops and functions well. Easy to clean in the dishwasher. I assume it will last a while due to the Cuisinart brand.
