[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this food processor at the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen and I was not disappointed. It's wonderful, sturdy base, easy to add via the chute additional ingredients!!! Have sliced zucchini, carrots, made dough.... I'm very happy with my purchase!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new food processor! The motor is incredibly powerful and able to handle those full loads.. Recently I had to grate some cheddar cheese and it worked perfectly. My old machine would gum up when grating cheese and it would end up a mess. No problem with the Cuisinart. I also found it much easier to clean and my old machine. Looking forward to getting many years of service out of my Cuisinart!
When my old, inexpensive food processor finally stopped working I decided to treat myself to the Cuisinart I’d wanted for so many years. To try it out I took Kenji Lopez-Alt’s advice and made his NY pizza dough in the food processor. The machine mixed the dough perfectly. It baked up into a delicious pizza crust that my husband loved. I couldn’t be more pleased with this machine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This my second Cuisinart food processor. My first lasted 40 years. I love the quality and versatility of this processor.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to buy this Food Processor because Cuisinart no longer provides replacement parts for the plastic pusher on their Food processor I purchased in 1982! Can you imagine a company that no longer provides replacement parts for a 44 year old unit?? I do not imagine that I will last another 44 years, so I am fairly annoyed that I need to purchase another unit. This is only the 2nd time in 44 years that I have needed to replace a part.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How does anyone get along without the Cuisinart food processor?? I have had mine for 54 years. Still going strong. I make my bread, my peanut butter, mayo, and anything else that needs mixing or stirring. Including cookies and sweet bread. Chop all my veggies. No other processor or blender can handle Peanut butter. They burn out in no time. I actually have two. Sometimes they are both going at one time. Love it . Could not be a cook or baker without it. 14 cups so you have room for anything you want to make. Fabulous Thanks Cuisinart for the strong motor.
Why is this made so cheap. My old food processor weighs twice what this weighs and still works great. I wanted a second so I purchased this and it's just a piece of junk.

The size is good. The motor is strong. My last one lasted just over three years and that was a disappointment. But there are no better products on the market. I was also disappointed that I could not get white with chrome as I got before.
