I love this food processor. It is the right size to sit on my counter and still fit under the cabinets. I love the two different sized bowls for large or small amounts to be processed. The main reason I bought this model is the adjustable settings on the slicing blade. It is so easy to get the exact thickness you need. You don’t have to have six different size blades cluttering up your kitchen, all you need is one. BIG selling point. So far I have cut onions, celery, cabbage, and shredded cooked chicken breast. So easy and fast. I recently watched a youtube video on this model where the presenter stopped working on it because she said that it was not possible to clean under the seal on the lid/cover. This was not an accurate representation of this appliance. You have to make sure that you completely close the front of the lid (spout area) before you start processing. The seal does come out and is very easy to clean. I am glad I purchased this processor before viewing the video. I love this appliance and would recommend it to everybody.

Very nice addition to the Kitchen. Machine is attractive, capable, and quieter than units we’ve used before.

This is the fourth cuisinart I have bought. I am 57 and got my first one in the 1970’s. They have gotten better and better over the years. I have never had any problems that the company was unable to resolve. A solid product from a solid company. Love them

Much quieter than anticipated (I thought the Food shows on TV were filtering the noise, but no, there was no need) and so easy to use. I love the wide feed tube and the uniformity of the chopped pieces.

I purchased this Cuisinart 12-cup food processor to replace an old kitchenaid which had served me well for many years. I’m delighted with my new Cuisinart, with its wide feed tube and string motor!

I just received it a few weeks ago and used it for first time yesterday. It my first food processor. It’s fairly easy to use but it did take me a while to figure it out. There is only one speed, though. I did expect the dough hook to be a bit more like the ones in larger processors.

The machine is really powerfull, no doubs, but the lid is faulty designed because it have so many little spots where food gets in and it’s hard to clean it perfectly. Would be really nice if the processor could have a dicing mechanism to compensate the price, but it’s still ok. Aside from that it is a really good machine that can improve your productivity in the kitchen and easy a lot of stuff.

Cuisinarts are awesome, everyone should try one.

I don’t know what to say other than that i had a kitchenaid before and this one is superior. i like that the cord winds up underneath for storage. I also have the blade storage box and that is helpful. i also find it easy to clean. i do not put in dishwasher though.

My hubby took right to this food processor from the moment it arrived in the mail. He has made fresh hummus from scratch,delicious omelets, and wonderful dinners. So worth !

I love this new version. Larger and easier to use than the older one at my summer home. I’ve always been a fan of all Cuisinart products. I own several!

I love this food processor as much as I did my previous Cuisinart 7 cup food processor. It had just worn out so it was time for a new one. I like that the new one holds more and has more features.

We bought the Elite 2.0 12-cup recently to replace our older model, which served us well for about 20 years. I really like the wider mouth on the lid and the extra size in the bowl. Shreds and slices very well. Tight seal and easy to clean. Very minor criticism, it’s a bit harder to close than the earlier model, but overall it’s fantastic and I strongly recommend it.

We purchased this two months ago and have used for a few times. We are very pleased with it and look forward to more uses.

Love all the aspects and various devices to cut and chop….and ease of use.

I like the original, simple cuisinart. This lid is ridiculous and all the parts to make the food opening different sizes is just too much trouble and more work to clean. The cuisinart doesn’t have a variety of speeds like my original one so I can’t go super slow or super fast- there’s one speed and it’s about a 7 out to 10. My husband bought this for me when my other one broke- not the one I would have chosen.

I love this food processor. It is a perfect size for two. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Having both a large and small processor bowl is fantastic. The small bowl is just right for making hummus. I also love trying out different blades. I knew Cuisinart had a good reputation but this machine is great.
