Love my new Cuisinart 7-cup food processor! Does a great job, is easy to use and easy to clean! Also, I like how all the parts are self-stored in the processor, as I have limited storage space in cabinets and drawers.
My first use of the processor was a great success! I used it to make dog biscuits for my pooch. Before I used the mini processor and now I can make two batches at once. Works fine and there is less to clean up with this sized unit.
A beautifully designed 7-Cup Food Processor, so much nicer and easier to use than I had expected. Sometimes you get lucky and without a doubt Cuisinart nailed it with this food processor. Effortless shredding, cutting, chopping, mixing. The snap on lid is seamless and so easy to handle. No broken or chipped parts to worry about. It's all there and the clean-up is simple. Love the storage solution they created for the bowl and blades. Can't recommend this 7-Cup Food Processor enough!
Love, love, love! Cuisinart is my “go to” brand for all my kitchen appliances, the name alone says reputation. All my Cuisinart appliances have stood the test of time, they do not fail me after a few months. Cuisinart appliances are fairly priced and have a great selection for all my kitchen needs. I love my new food processor, it does everything I need it to do and I got it at a great price!
I bought this for work: within a month the bowl processing bowl became unusable. A tiny square piece of plastic on the underside of the bowl apparently cracked off. Now there is no mechanism to actuate the motor. Awful design. And there seems to be very little ways to purchase a new bowl for the machine. You made the entire product dependent on a flimsy 1/4 “ piece of plastic. 1/10 roundly recommended to anyone who cooks seriously.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the 7‑Cup Food Processor (FP‑7), and we’re sorry to hear about the damage to the bowl and the impact it’s had on usability. The processor relies on safety‑interlock components in the bowl to engage the motor, and a cracked or damaged interlock can prevent operation; replacement options may be available depending on part availability. Our Consumer Assistance Center can review this with you and discuss possible solutions at 1‑800‑726‑0190—please reference Ticket #8900576222 when you call. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps us identify opportunities to strengthen durability and improve future models.
My old Cuisinart food processor lasted for 15 years and could still probably take on another decade if the blades hadn't dulled. My new processor is just as wonderful as its predecessor, except now there is a caddy for the blades and the lid closure is updated. Also, the cookbook has more fun recipes.
