Positives: This can do it all including dicing. Power and efficiency are better than expected. Blades and attachments are sharp and long lasting. All work as designed.
Negative: I use often so it sits on the counter, I wish I had better storage location out of sight. This may be a problem for a-lot of people. You need a spot for three things; Machine and two utensil storage containers. Cleaning can be time consuming, no one loves this. The design has a lot of nooks and crannies that can only be rinsed and impossible to dry with a towel. Everything being clear this affects my impulsive behavior syndrome. But I think acceptable if you are in need of this type of machine.

This is a very substantial, versatile food processor, and with the dicer attachment it is extraordinary! It has an adjustable slicer that lets you set the thickness of the slices it makes.

Wonderful - makes fast work of shredding, etc.

Bought this to replace a 48 year old unit that finally died and wish I had bought this sooner. I made slaw and was able to just empty the large bowl once versus three times with my old unit. While this looks intimidating when you open the box and see everything included it is actually very easy to set up and use. Sure wish my old one had died a long time ago so I could have been using this earlier. No more dreading recipes that call for shredding, dicing etc. it is also nice to have two different containers for storing the various attachments so they are organized and can be kept clean.

This is nice and works good so far. I like the large capacity and the different cutting options. It powders my freeze dried food nicely and gets it smooth.
There are a few things I do not like about.
1. Two of the feet do not suction to the counter causing it to move around.
2. I really do not like having to fidget with the 3 feed tubes, twisting and locking in place.
3. It’s like they made the accessory case and forgot to add in all the pieces. So you have that big case and another set that doesn’t fit into it.

I’m thinking about returning it because of number one and two.

I like the food processor I liked my last Cuisinart very very much and used it so much it actually fell apart as to why I bought another one I really wish the blade was larger as constantly have to scrape the outsides of the Bowl. The blade seems much much too small and doesn't seem like it's quite powerful enough disappointed in that. the actual base of the food processor is extremely light in made of plastic which is very worrisome my last Cuisinart was heavy and I felt it was made better this seems very cheaply made to me especially with the amount of money it cost.

I've been using a food processor for almost 40 years now and this is my least favorite. The quality of this machine, base, work bowl and various parts is inferior to any I've ever owned, which have all been cuisinart. I bought this one because of the chopping attachment which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong. The plastic bowl has somehow cracked so I pulled out plastic pieces from one dinner. It's a big disappointment

A lot of the vegetables get caught between the blades of the dicer before even entering the dicer itself. You get a lot of pieces trapped between the lid and blade and is difficult not to spill when removing the lid due to accumulation. Would be really messy with soft juicy vegetables like tomatoes. It can be hard to get pieces out of the lid when cleaning. I need to use a toothbrush to get into the crevices because the pieces won’t rinse out. Haven’t used it for dough. Happy with other features. Haven’t used it for liquids yet so I don’t how complaints from others is true about liquids spilling out around the lid.

I have used Cuisinart for years and after having poor luck with a kitchenaid at a vacation spot thought it would be worth the money to buy this Cuisinart. I was also excited about the dicer. So far, after one use of the dicer it has not met my expectations as I had to push the product through after every one or two times. I can slice them with a knife a little faster. I will try other products and hope it reacts better. As far as the food processor itself , It is OK. It grinds the food but I feel like the parts are made a little more cheaply and the processor is much lighter than previous versions I had. The buttons are harder to push than previous versions as well.
