Finally replaced my old Cuisinart received as a wedding present 30 years ago. The new model has improved features - no small plastic pieces snapping off. I did have to find a video to see that the cover goes on backwards (compared to the old model). This is a sturdy workhorse - waiting for the price of eggs to go down to make Basic Mayonnaise.
Great machine, works well. Putting it together is the only bad part. I could not figure out how to get the top on and locked in. And I could not find any instructions or diagram in the box. Finally got all parts aligned and it spun. Taking it apart was a bit simpler but it always takes time to do without damaging parts. Not for the impatient cook… Also I learned from my previous model that it is not a good idea to put the parts in the dishwasher. The plastic gets cloudy and brittle with the heat.
There’s a reason that Cuisinart is synonymous with food processors. I made due with a kitchen aid for years. It was ok. But when it broke, I determined to try the Cuisinart. Oh my gosh—I feel like I’d never used a food processor before. This unit is so sturdy, strong and precise! I’m so happy to have switched to Cuisinart.
My Cuisinart Food Processor is the Best Appliance!

I love love LOVE my Cuisinart food processor!!! I use it all the time and it makes me so happy! It’s so nice to not have to chop or grate veggies anymore.
Replaced a more than 20 year old Cuisinart with the 14 Cup model. It is stylish on the kitchen counter; has an excellent performing powerful motor; cutting blades from the old processor that fit on the "stem" are all usable.
