This is an excellent piece of equipment. I bought this one as a gift, but own the same one myself. My only complaint is that the feed tube attaches away from the user, on the back of the work bowl. My old one attached on the front where I could see what I was doing better.
Not a big complaint. Great food processor

I have used Cuisinart food processors since I was a child, when they first became available. When I got married, I got the 2 cup capacity Cuisinart food processor as a wedding gift, but longed for a larger capacity food processor like the Cuisinart I grew up with.
Years of longing went by, andI finally bit the bullet and paid the $$$ for this food processor. I have read other reviews on the Cuisinart food processors on here, and some people lament the fact that the Cuisinart of yesteryear is no longer a French product (it's made in China now) , and the quality has gone down the tubes.
Truthfully, since I grew up with one of the first Cuisinart's, I haven't been able to tell much of a difference, if at all, between the old and new. It still does a fantastic job of chopping, slicing, pulverizing, etc. I have had fantastic results from pie crusts and bread in this machine, which I was never able to make in my smaller Cuisinart.
******Word of caution!!!! I rated this 4 stars because when making the meatloaf recipe in the pamphlet supplied with the Cuisinart, my machine started giving off black smoke. Supposedly, the machine is supposed to shut-off as a safety feature when it starts to get too hot, but mine didn't. It gave off black smoke, and I had to return it. So, use caution when making the meat loaf recipe supplied with this machine. I chopped the meat into cubes as stated in the recipe, so don't know why the Cuisinart could not handle this task. I am hoping my unit was just defective, but *will not* try the meatloaf recipe again for fear of this happening. I was able to save the meatloaf, but it was chunky beef meatloaf, and not true ground meatloaf. Yummy recipe, though!*********
Also, the guacamole recipe in the booklet included with the Cuisinart is out of this world! I like a creamier guacamole, and increased the cumin to 1/2 tsp, and added 1/3 cup light sour cream. Yummmmmmm!!!!
The how-to dvd (although a little cheesy) included is a must-see if you have never used a Cuisinart food processor before. I especially liked the cooking segment by the French chef on there.
The stainless steel on this machine is very attractive, and I keep mine on my counter, even though it does take up a bit of space. I would advise anyone buying this machine to keep theirs on the counter because if it is put away out of sight, it will never be used. The old adage "Out of sight, out of mind" definitely is true!
I am going to keep my smaller Cuisinart to chop small loads. This larger capacity does not do a very good job with a small load, say, 1 tbsp of spices, herbs, etc. It takes more effort to scrape the large bowl than it would have if you had chopped it by hand.
All in all, I would recommend this food processor to anyone wanting to make food prep a much easier task. Yes, the price is kind of steep, but is well-worth it when it produces such fine results. The motor comes with a 10 year warranty, so you know it should last you for years and years.
Bon appetit!!!
