Really Improves on the (Already Great) Older Model

We bought the Elite 2.0 12-cup recently to replace our older model, which served us well for about 20 years. I really like the wider mouth on the lid and the extra size in the bowl. Shreds and slices very well. Tight seal and easy to clean. Very minor criticism, it's a bit harder to close than the earlier model, but overall it's fantastic and I strongly recommend it.
Really useful. Makes good bread dough and sliced 10 lbs of sweet potatoes in about 7 minutes. Be very careful of the SHARP blades. I cut into my finger and it bled all that day and took 2 weeks for the cut to heal. I deeply suggest buying the storage case right away for the blades and slicing disks so this does not happen to you. Shredded carrots very quickly and I dehydrated about 15 Lbs of carrots with very little work.
Works well but clogs up easily and is difficult to clean. So far everything just seems to shred or smoosh to the same consistency no matter which blade is used. Perhaps I need more time to learn it but so far I am somewhat disappointed.
This is my third Cuiinart food processor. My last one was DLC 10. It lasted for many years. I donated it, 5 years ago and just had to replace. I chose this one for it’s 1000 watt motor, dual work bowls, adjustable disks and ease of operation.
I’ve replaced my old broken food processor with this Cuisinart model. I love it! The large size is perfect for most jobs, and the small bowl sorts out small mincing chopping things like garlic or nuts in a flash. This is easy to use and clean. I wish it came with a storage container for the blades etc.
