This is my second Cuisinart processor the first I purchased in 1989 the bowl broke. I tried to live without a processor and found I would not create some of my recipes. I like that there are two size bowls with this model. I am a definite fan of Cuisinart.
I have only used this new food processor a few times but it impresses greatly with the speed and efficiency. Another plus is the level of noise - much quieter than my last one. Each part is of high quality material. Highly recommend!
I just received it a few weeks ago and used it for first time yesterday. It my first food processor. It’s fairly easy to use but it did take me a while to figure it out. There is only one speed, though. I did expect the dough hook to be a bit more like the ones in larger processors.
The lid placement is so much easier on this processor. The buttons do not take excessive pressure to operate. So nice. I use it almost daily. I hated having to get the old processor out of the cupboard. Instead I would just chop everything by hand. The cleanup is much easier too.
My original Cuisinart, purchased in 1981 and loved since then, finally developed a fatal problem. What a workhorse it had been. What a delight it has been to see the changes implemented since then!
My old Cuisinart, and I mean really old, finally died. I bought this one and it does just what it says it will do. Have made bread, chopped, shredded and sliced with it and does a great job.
