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!
Food processor motor did not work. Had to be returned.

This broke on the second use because of a flimsy piece of plastic in the locking mechanism. I'm currently trying to fight for a refund but they want to replace the broken parts - ones which would likely break again according to my mechanic friend who took a look at the product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m enjoying my new food processor. Light weight and easy to remove from a lower cabinet. My previous one was so heavy. The bowl size is great for shredded vegetables. I even made pistachio butter in no time. I just wish the chute was a bit bigger.
I bought this to replace my Kitchen Aid food processor, which had broken. I really like how much easier it is to use. It is lighter, and easier to store. Unfortunately, the first day I used it, the small tab on the inside of the work bowl that latches the handle in place snapped off. Now I need a replacement work bowl.
