[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a fantastic run of my first Cuisinart food processor of 43 years it was replaced with a new Cuisinart food processor. Your food processor’s are work horses! Whatever I am using it for, like slicing, shredding, making bread dough, pie crusts, chopping nuts, I am never disappointed. Kudos to you for producing an excellent product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wanting to give this 3.5 stars… Pros: powerful and quiet motor, sharp blades, large capacity. Cons: 1) top cover has many gaps, can’t mix or blend dry ingredients without making a puffed out mess out of the cup. Make a cover with no gaps or no side slides will fix this. 2) top opening with safety mechanism is very annoyingly inconvenient and small, has to pull it up every time to add I ingredients, open up the cover, or to remove cup. 3) the gap between slicing mechanism and top cover is too wide, large chucks of vegetables get stuck in the space, has to remove it between every piece of veggies that needs to be chopped/ sliced.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Cuisinart® Custom 14 Cup Food Processor. We're pleased to hear you were satisfied with the powerful, quiet motor, sharp blades, and large capacity, but we understand your concerns regarding ingredient leakage, the feed tube design, and food becoming trapped during slicing. For improved performance when processing dry ingredients, try filling the work bowl below the maximum capacity line and pulsing in shorter intervals to help minimize ingredient escape, and when slicing vegetables, trimming larger pieces to fit the feed tube more closely may help reduce food getting caught in the gap. If you have additional questions or would like to discuss your experience further, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190. Thank you for taking the time to provide such thoughtful feedback; your comments will be shared with our team as we continue to identify opportunities for improvement.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this processor after weeks of research. America Test Kitchen was my final confirmation and I'm happy I followed their research. The processor has a sturdy base and the controls are right up front and easy to use, no searching. It is also able to store the blades inside the "bowl" so I don't need extra space. My first attempt was a pie dough that came out to perfection! Flaky and perfect (after years of trying). It also grates cheese with ease. My favorite feature is the ease of control, location of pulse button and the heavy, sturdy base.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has an ample container and two sizes of openings to accommodate different foods. I really like the pulse/off button, which is easier to use than on my previous processor which was 50 years old. Cuisinart food processors are built to last!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this food processor recently. I use it to make dog food. It is amazing. It replaced the old Sunbeam I bought in the early 80’s, yes I hang onto things that work. My new cuisinart is so quiet. It chops chicken in about 8 seconds! Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a work horse. I purchased this to replace the Cusinart processor I had since 1982. Used constantly and I completely expect this one to last at least that long. Would not consider any other brsnd.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am completely in love with my Cuisinart Custom 14 Cup Food Processor! Having owned a few different food processors in the past, the superior build quality of this machine is immediately obvious. It feels incredibly sturdy, durable, and engineered to last, completely outclassing my previous appliances. Beyond the impressive quality, the ease of use is fantastic. The controls are simple and intuitive, and it handles heavy-duty tasks without vibrating all over the counter. It has quickly become my absolute favorite tool to prep my homemade soups with fresh veggies. It chops and purees everything beautifully, making it effortless to whip up a comforting batch of fresh fall butternut squash soup or a velvety tomato soup. If you are looking to upgrade your kitchen game, this machine is worth every penny!
