This processor is terrific. The base is hefty, the components fit together smoothly and its power is impressive. I put two large onions in the large feeding tube (cut in half) and shredded them with the larger cuts. I checked the processing time by saying one one-thousand but wasn’t able to complete that phrase before it was finished!
I love that there is a smaller size processor insert included so that I can get the same quality of processing in small batches as well as larger batches.
Powerhouse! Speed is fantastic but a bit to get used to. A bit fiddly with safety features! So heavy @18.5 lbs but full metal housing. Have yet to use the smaller container.
I bought a less expensive model of Cuisinart and returned it. I am so glad I now have the Elite. The opening is larger, the motor stronger. It's well crafted and a workhorse.
