Just started using this food processor and I like it already. The lever-style buttons for on and pulse/off are nice, simple, and seem sturdy. The 14 Cup capacity is bigger than my previous food processor, and I'm happy with the extra space. Everything about it is similar to the last Cuisinart food processor I had, and I got along really well with it for several years.
Shreds fast which saved more than an hour of shredding carrots when I didn't have the Cuisinart Food Processor. I researched for the best food processors before purchasing and this particular model had the highest reviews of ANY food processor for many years in a row! Really makes me feel confident in this product!
My only Cuisinart Food Processor died last month, and I had that one for over 32 or more years, which was one of my favorite food prep tools. I found it challenging to throw it out, because I had so many years of it working for me. I had a very strong attachment to it. ....although, it did see its final resting place in our garbage can. This new one, is out shining the last one-it holds more volume, and it provides me with one batch, as oppose to having to do two separate batches....wonders and miracles, and that blade, is pretty darn sharp.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this model to replace my old 14-cup food processor. The stems aren't the same size and the disks are specific to the one stem or the other. All of my old blades are now useless. I have to buy new blades to accommodate this machine. Also, the bowl latching mechanism is in the back, not in the front, making it awkward to assemble. Very unhappy.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it can be when previous accessories don’t fit a new model. Attachments are often designed specifically for each unit to ensure optimal performance, safety, and proper alignment, which can result in improved efficiency and more consistent results with the updated system. For easier assembly, we recommend aligning the rear locking mechanism carefully and securing the bowl before attaching accessories.t Thank you for your feedback—it helps us improve future designs and compatibility.
The gold standard for food processors, and I can see why. This has been a great help in the kitchen, especially for my spouse who is insufferably slow with a knife. I don't know why we waited this long. Our meals have been upgraded with great salads and dishes that would have been very time consuming before.
