i love this. I wasnt sure as there were some bad reviews out there but they turned ou to be old, it was the gasket problem and cuisnart fixed that but unfortunately others out there dont know that.. This has everything I would want, I love the two bowl sizes and I love the way the top comes off and goes on, and the gasket making it leak proof. I love the watts and its hard to say anything bad about it. Its taken everything Ive thrown at it easily and very quietly which is very imnportant to me.. The only concern if there were any and its not a deal breaker, is the smaller pusher can be a little hard to clean if you dont have a dish washer which I don’t but it no way is taken anything away from it. I hope it last forever. Its built like it will! thank you cuisinart.

I am very pleased with my new food processor. It is SOOO quiet! I love that it works so fast and doesn’t make a terrible racket. I cannot be happier with the way it grates and slices cheese, nor that it takes just seconds to chop onions or carrots. I have made perfect hash browns as well. It is one of the best investments I have made in my kitchen.

As a vegan and an individual who loves to prepare raw food, I constantly use this food processor for so many dishes. It is powerful and works perfectly. This processor is handy, convenient and works very well. One can prepare for a large or small crowd. BUY IT! IT DOES NOT DISSAPOINT!

This is my first food processor and I could not have made a better choice. Everything about is simple to do. The included small bowl is such a clever idea & I find myself using it more often than the large bowl. hard to go wrong with this machine.

Very powerful motor. Great to be able to use either 12-cup or 4-cup bowls. Design does make it hard to clean inside the lid though. Be prepared to remove the lid gasket every time for cleaning.

For me, it is the best kitchen tool I everybody should have! It is powerful and easy! Love it!!!

Does the job. I like the rubber seal. Keeps things in. Easy to clean. I use it for cole slaw, cole slaw dressing, hummus, smoothies, and falafel. You have to learn to press the blade down to seat it properly on the spindle. That’s a good feature, however. When you pour it doesn’t fall out.

After 30+ years of use, my old Cuisinart gave up the ghost. The only drawback it had was if you placed too much liquid in the machine it leaked. Not so with the Elicit Collection 12 cup Cuisinart! This is a great machine and I really like the ability to adjust the slicer as well as the large or small compartment adjustment. I would highly recommend this product. It’s worth every dime!

This is the first time I have used a food processor and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked for chopping a bowl full of vegetables. The unit was fairly quiet; I’m used to a blender that is much louder. I can’t wait to use it again. I also like this model because it has a 4 cup bowl besides the 12 cup bowl.

Love it. Runs smoothly, quietly and efficiently. Very powerful. Only negative is when using the disks, food gets stuck between lid and disk.

Works well but clogs up easily and is difficult to clean. So far everything just seems to shred or smoosh to the same consistency no matter which blade is used. Perhaps I need more time to learn it but so far I am somewhat disappointed.

Love that it has a small and large bowl option. The puree option works great too.

I bought this a few weeks ago and use it all through Christmas and love it.

Love the unit… like the adjustable slicing blade.. ONLY reason not 5 stars is that, while other models have a thicker slicing blade (8mm) available for purchase, this one does not.

I’ve used this quite a bit mixing heavy batters, chopping nuts and slicing. It is different from my old DC L10 in that it has more places for food to get trapped in cleaning however, I am so pleased with it’s capabilities and the fact that the blade doesn’t fall out and leak.

Love my new quisinart! It replaced a much older model and I was amazed how easy it is to remove the top and other parts. I also love the smaller bowl for little jobs.

Powerful. Simple. Size options. Easy to clean. Just like our other 20 year old Cuisinart … but better! They make awesome food processors.

This machine handles every task with ease. Easy to use and to clean. My first food processor and I’m thrilled with it!

Eliminate most chopping by hand. Saves so much time it makes cooking more of a joy than a chore.Unlike cuisinart toaster which I hate.

The food processor can work with just about anything. The slicer is especially useful for thinner slicing. The smaller Work bowl is great for smaller jobs. You can chop up about anything efficiently in seconds. It also makes great sauces. I love this cuisinart and I use it every week.
