For anyone who has loved Cuisinart food processors forever, this is the best current model.
By Stevie Standish on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024
I have had Cuisinart food processors since they first came out and loved them for years, only replacing them when I wanted a larger bowl or different features, always giving the old one away to someone I knew because they were always still working fine. The last time I did that I regretted giving my old one away because the newer models have been so unsatisfactory I found myself avoiding using them. I never understand why "engineers" mess with good design only to replace it with bad design -- cost reduction, I guess. I researched other brands of processors exhaustively for literally years, and was never inspired by what I learned about them, so kept soldiering on with the Cuisinart I had come to despise. Finally, last year I saw this Cuisinart model a decided to give it a try. I have had it for a year now and can honestly say I am in love with my Cuisinart food processor again and highly recommend this model. Every time I use it I am impressed by the intricacy of the planning and modelling that went into the design to make it work so well. I did experience a learning curve, because there are some significant differences between this model and all the other Cuisinart models I have had and seen, but it works extremely well for all my tasks and, because of these design changes, it holds more liquid without leaking all over the place like other recent models.

Meh

This food processor does an okay job, but there are several things I don't like about it. 1. It comes with a blade for grating that has two sides, supposedly for two different sizes of shred. As you can see in the photo, there is barely a noticeable difference between the two sides. When I grate Parmesan, I want a very fine grate, which I can't achieve with this machine. 2. It seems to be made for a left-handed person. I've had a few food processors over the last 30 or more years and they seem to have been designed for right-handed people. As a righty, I want to open the lid with my left hand, which would mean turning the front of the lid to the left side, so I could use my right hand to scrape the sides down with a spatula. This lid on this machine turns to the right; I either have to use my right hand to do this and then pick up the spatula or cross my left arm in front of me to awkwardly open it to the right. I suppose left-handers love this! 3. There is a lip on the inside of the lid that measures almost an inch deep. Food gets stuck in that lip, so it doesn't fully shred/grate and it requires extra effort to get it out. 4. The pusher doesn't push down far enough to more fully grate food. There is always a sizeable piece that just can't get grated and I end up doing it by hand. What's the point of using a machine if I have to dirty a hand grater anyway? 5. It makes a whining sound. I wouldn't mind this so much if 1-4 weren't issues. But I could use without this irritating sound, which sounds like the motor is working harder than it should.
