I love to cook and bake, so a good processor is essential. When my 30 plus year old Cuisinart food processor died recently, I needed to replace it immediately. After comparing Cuisinart to another available brand, I chose the Cuisinart because the reviews highlighted durability and that was my experience.
I had a quisinart processor 40 years ago and it was a slayer. I primarily used it for shredding cheddar cheese and it performed perfectly. Eventually the plastic bowl cover deteriorated to the point that i had to replace the whole assembly so i decided to again go with a 7 cup quisinart. I tried using each shredder blade and found that i had to exert a lot of downward force on the feed to the point that i was distorting the shredder blade and overloading the motor. As a cheese shredder i have been singularly unimpressed with its performance.

Excellent small appliance every kitchen needs. I use this all the time for quick mixing to shredding cheese. You won't be disappointed! It also is designed great for storage
OMG! If you are on your own, this food processor is a dream!!! Easy to assemble and disassemble. Afterward, pop into top shelf of dishwasher. I only used it the first time and cannot wait to try out some nw recipes. Cuisinart, thank you for this new simpler model!
I love my new food processor! I was tired of buying shredded cheese and seeing how that cheese looked. I wanted a healthier cheese without anything added to it so it won’t stick together! When I made Cheese Rings and Sausage Balls they tasted and looked so much better! I would recommend everyone do this instead of buying the bag of cheese!
