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.

The food processor works well however, I don't use it too much. I use it mostly to shred cabbage for Cole slaw - my husband loves Cole slaw and we have it at least once a week. I prefer using fresh cabbage as opposed to bagged shredded cabbage so the processor is easier than using a box grater. I have space to store the processor between uses, so it's fine. I would recommend the product if you want or need a food processor.

This machine is a joy to use. It is powerful, and it slices and grates items like a dream. I love the clever compact storage solution too. I gave my old Cuisinart to my son two years ago because I purchased a Vita mix and thought I could get by with that alone. I gave up after two years and bought the new cuisinart, and I am so glad I did!

This is the second time I've bought a Cuisinart food processer. My original one was 25 years old and still working, but I wanted a newer model with the same capacity. I like the improvements with how the cover clips on, and the holding station for unused blades. This product is easy to use, reduces my time in the kitchen, and cleans up great. Highly recommend!

4-stars because I don't use it for dough making or shredding cheese. It's a great choice for a 2-person household to process fruit and vegetables, etc. I use my stand mixer for dough making. I don't know how it performs shredding cheese. No need to store it on the counter because it's light weight and allows easy access to in cabinet storage.

Great price. Great looking machine. Love the reversible blades and the storage inside. Works like a charm once you figure out how to put the lid on. Directions weren’t super clear, but after some trying, I figured it out.
