I ended up returning this item. I have used Cuisinart Food Processors for over 37 years and am familiar with the technique for making bread dough, which I do regulalry. The manual stated it could handle 5 cups of white flour, but it could not. I would guess maybe 3 cups at best. Any more than that and the machine quickly bogged down and danced all over my counter. The exterior quickly got hot to the point I couldn't even touch it and eventually it shut off. I presently own the Cuisinart DLC-X PLUS 20-cup Food Processor which is no longer manufactured. It easily handles 10 cups of white flour, never bogs down, never gets hot. Why oh why did they stop making that model? I figured a 14-cup machine would easily handle 5 cups of flour. I was disappointed. I pursued interest in this machine because of the clever design for the adjustable blade and how that would minimize storage. I was also interested in it because I know my DLC-X might one day stop working so I wanted to be ready with a replacement.
Aside from my disappointment, I did like the overall design with the exception of the tiny feed tube which will barely accommodate 1/2 of a small apple. I appreciated the gasket around the lip of the lid to eliminate leakage and the bowl-inside-bowl—that is nice.
I am hoping Cuisinart will some day make a heavy-duty model like they used to as I am loyal to the brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this to replace another brand of food processor. The work bowl was cracked and could not be replaced. This is a working machine. I have done a lot with it and everything has turned out great. The only downside is that large pieces of food get hung between the blade and the cover. I have found this to be the case
with every food processor I have ever owned. It happens with carrots, cheese, and other foods as well. So--- I have just learned to put up with that as normal. Having said all of that, I really find this machine to be easy to use and I especially like the way the lid snaps into place. There is a definite learning curve so be sure to read the book before you use it for the first time.

I purchased this a month ago with the main purpose of making nutter butters. Works great !!! I researched all of them before deciding on this model. Cleans easy. Easy start. Super simple to use. Love it. It's pretty big so if you don't have counter space or don't mind dragging it out - its awesome- otherwise get a smaller model. Like the adjustable slicing blade also. It's a simple turn of the dial. This model also has 2 work bowls which is great when need a smaller bowl for small projects like salsa or purees.
Note: need at least 18 " of clearance if fitting on counter but underneath overhead cabinets! See photo

A month in and have used the small and large reservoirs.....have made pesto's, mayo and chopped semi frozen chuck roast into hamburger....this Cuisinart is a beast.....Love it....It is very heavy to move around and the skid tabs on the feet make it hard to pull out of shove back on the counter...we solved by putting the unit on a old wood chopping board and it slides easily now....if you leave on the board when chopping ect it will try to spin slightly....so be aware or take off the board when using.....anyway....A GREAT PURCHASE....

I love this product so much! I decided to order one after seeing how the product works on the cuisinart website. The feature to make a dough is amazing, no need to kneel the dough anymore, no mess, mix butter and flour really well in seconds, seriously! save a lot of the time, baking and cooking make it easier.

I love this processor! Although, it's really heavy, it has a big motor so it works fast and cleanly cuts what you need.
