I bought this a few weeks ago to replace a slightly smaller Cuisinart food processor that had worked faultlessly for 30 years until small parts of its plastic bowl finally cracked and thebvery old bowl could not be replaced. I’ve shredded and I’ve mixed. Both functions work perfectly with obvious power even greater than its predecessor. I wish that a large dull plastic beater were available, but the blade seems to work ok for most mixing purposes. I fully expect that this food processor will outlive me ;-).
Great product,this processor is powerful and easy to use would recommend for anyone looking for this appliance at a great price that won't break the bank.
I've only had my new food processor for a couple weeks but I've used it so many times already! Amazingly useful for all kinds of recipes. I've made guacamole, soup and a pie crust. It's really as easy to use as advertised. I can see much more cooking in my future.
I’m very pleased with my 14 cup food processor as it’s a real workhorse and I just used it for a crust for my homemade cheesecake and was very happy with the fast result’s and I’m looking forward to many many more years of my kitchen helper
I have been thinking about this machine for several months and followed the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen. I love this machine. It is quiet. Powerful and easy to clean. The one blade approach makes since and the slicing disk is very nice.
I love the large size of this food processor and bought my parents one as well. Unfortunately, the plastic bowl and plastic parts get very brittle and crack. The latch cracked off my bowl so now I have to hold down very hard to get it to even work. So very sad. 😞 Hoping my parents don't rin into the same issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
