The processor worried great the one time I used it. It seems well built and will hopefully last a long time. It took a little while to figure out how the parts go together since there were no instructions provided. The manufacturer recommended video was for a much older version and also did not include assembly instructions.
I asked for this as a replacement for a food processor I received in 1984. This one is a little larger. You couldn’t talk over my old one, this one is so much quieter! I have made 3 batches of pesto so far. So much faster and cleanup is much easier than my old processor I am anxious to try pizza dough!
Great food processor, but It's strange that the instruction book doesn't contain anything about how to assemble. I tried to assemble it the way the earlier model I'd replaced, which was fifteen years older, was assembled. Didn't work.
This is my second Cuisinart food processor. I wouldn't entertain any other. I use it to make pizza dough as I did with my 11 cup, which I just retired. It's such an easy process, following the recipe you included with the food processor
I am very pleased with this food processor. My only complaint is there no where in the instruction booklet that takes you step by step to get you started. I could not get my going-and I’ve had a good processor over 30 years… It was only in going back to the safety steps that I found it will not start if the feed tube is not in place upon assembly and starting. Once you have it in place and click everything into a locked position, can you remove feed tube pusher and add food.
A wonderful addition to our kitchen. So versatile with all of the blade and disc options from Cuisinart. Making my homemade Mac & Cheese used to take an hour to shred all the cheese by hand. My Cuisinart 14-cup Food Processor shredded all that cheese in just a few minutes. No sore hand or wrist, no cut knuckles from hand shredding. The power in this unit is so strong. It did not struggle at all with any of the cheese or frozen fruits. I even made a few batches of ice cream that turned out amazing and healthy.
