I love this food processor as much as I did my previous Cuisinart 7 cup food processor. It had just worn out so it was time for a new one. I like that the new one holds more and has more features.
This is my second Cuisinart food processor, my first one was over 40 years old and still worked perfectly. Only issue was finding blade replacements. I love my new processor and know it will last many years to come.
After 30+ years of use, my old Cuisinart gave up the ghost. The only drawback it had was if you placed too much liquid in the machine it leaked. Not so with the Elicit Collection 12 cup Cuisinart! This is a great machine and I really like the ability to adjust the slicer as well as the large or small compartment adjustment. I would highly recommend this product. It's worth every dime!
Bought it to replace a 7 cup lever model whose bowl was starting to break down but motor was still good.
Pros: large bowl, nested smaller bowl, 2 size shreds, adjustable slicer, very attractive. Cons: cheese gets caught between lid and shredder, prefer the simple lever over the buttons for operation.
I probably would have bought a lever version of this model if there was one that had all the other features. Easier to use as you are feeding food/liquids into the tube.
All in all, I'm very happy with the product and will hopefully be using it for years to come.
Purchased 1 month ago. Replaced a Cuisinart Food processor in which the platics in the bowls broke. Motor was stll good. But to replace the bowls was half the price of a new Cuisinart Food Processor. I am sure that was design by Cuisinart.
This is the fourth cuisinart I have bought. I am 57 and got my first one in the 1970’s. They have gotten better and better over the years. I have never had any problems that the company was unable to resolve. A solid product from a solid company. Love them
