"It gets at minimum weekly use (weekend meal prep) and sometimes more ... I originally bought the Cuisinart because I was struggling to process our CSA boxes every week. It's far easier to set up, use, and clean the food processor than it is to stand and chop 30lbs of produce!"
"both baskets go in the dishwasher, which makes cleanup way easier"
"Hot water into the bucket with soap, handle scrubber in fast rotations , put it out, same again, boom. Faster than cleaning the cosori."

"It’s taken 50-60mph gusts on front, rear and side with no issues."
"Very simple design and it's built well (it has even accidentally fallen to the bottom of my pool one time, pulled it out, kept playing and has had no issues)"
"ate the rain and wind storms with no issues. ... It's a tank."

"It also comes with 2 shredding attachments, one that I don't really use, and one that I use for cheese aaaaall the time. Makes prepping 3 pounds of cheese for Thanksgiving Mac n cheese a total breeze."
"The 14 cup Cuisinart is a workhorse."
"I agree that the 14 cup felt massive. But you can’t overfill a food processor if you want lightly chopped veggies and not mush. So I like that I can process veggies and not have to do a dozen different round of chopping. I’m frequently chopping Costco sized amounts of veggies (like 3-6 lbs), so the huge capacity is reasonable."

"I've been making peanut butter with my food processor and it turns out better than any other PB. ... I use a 16 ounce jar of Planter's Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts and a few teaspoons of Planter's Peanut oil to get it to my desired consistency."
"It really does well with large batches of hummus, salsa and relish."
"Cuisinart pro 14c especially for nut butters"

"a year after the left side (mic side) broke with the plastic. ... Super glued it which saved it for a few months before breaking again same spot. ... Other side also has a crack forming. ... they really need to switch to metal for above the earphone partts that connects upwards. That plastic bends when putting it over your head and if it's big, it'll put strain on that plastic and eventually crack like mine did. You have to be gentle with it like I did but that still doesn't stop the cracks over time"
"Mine had a lid clip fail so I need to hold the lid on for it to work. ... Really irritated with it for the price, honestly."
"So I don't use it to shred cheeses or harder vegetables (like broccoli and cauliflower, I damaged the disc mounting spot when I did)"

"11 and 14 cups is not the actual capacity. You can't pack a food processor to the brim. You're really only using maybe 1/3rd of the space in there."
"Three of us camp in a 9-person instant cabin and it's barely big enough."
"six people would definitely be super tight in there. Would not recommend going over four people"

"I have the cuisinart 14 cup and regret not getting one slightly smaller. ... smaller bowl would just make small volumes of dressings easier."
"Keep in mind that for solid foods you won't be able to utilize that entire capacity because you need room for things to shuffle--I can usually only go to about 1/4 or 1/3 capacity before the chopping becomes quite uneven."

"I have stainless steel workbowl which included polycarbonate cover which I dislike because it seems to be impossible to wash without scratching it."
"I don't put the container/blade in the dishwasher and it's a bit of a pain to wash"
"Admittedly it's a pain to clean if you're using the attachments"
Cuisinart 14 cup. Nice capacity and the short pulse allows for good texture without completely liquifying everything.
r/SalsaSnobs • What’s your favorite blender/food processor for salsa? ->Cuisinart is the benchmark for a reason. I’ve had my 14-cup model for about 10 years at this point, never regretted it.
r/Cooking • Need a New Food Processor Recommendation ->I have both. I think you’d be happy with either machine.
r/Cooking • Food processor advantage over knife? Cuisinart 14 cup vs Breville Sous Chef 16? ->The Breville one I got, I was able to add additional blades. The dicing blades are very cool. The Breville one feels more powerful and smoother. I think you’d be happy with either one. If I had to pick one it would probably be the Breville. When I was considering purchasing the Breville I watched a lot of YouTube video reviews to help me decide in case that is of any help to you. Happy to answer any specific questions you have.
r/Cooking • Food processor advantage over knife? Cuisinart 14 cup vs Breville Sous Chef 16? ->Either machine can do any food processing task you throw at them. The motor power is noticeably better with the Breville. The Breville has a blade specifically for dough; it does just fine with dough. The Breville has optional blades for making diced cubes of vegetables that are not an option with the Cuisinart.
r/Cooking • Food processor advantage over knife? Cuisinart 14 cup vs Breville Sous Chef 16? ->I bought the same one in 1995 for $50 on clearance at Mervyn's Department Store. 30 years later you have to fiddle with the lid to get it to lock on. Picked up a NIB 7-cup pro classic for $20 at Goodwill last Thursday. Now I have one set up to chop and the other to grate. I'm living the life here lemme tell you.
r/BuyItForLife • BIFL: Food processors. Which ones actually do what they promise to do? ->To tell the truth, I rarely use the upright jar blender. Mostly i use an immersion blender. But I'm not a smoothie person. Get the 14 cup Cuisinart food processor. That's going to take most of the budget.
r/BuyItForLife • Recommendations for a good quality blender and food processor ->You should probably specify a budget. I have a vitamix, at least 15 years old now, and love it. It can blend anything and if the blending gets too hot, it kicks in a safety switch that turns it off. Probably what gives it its longevity. But it’s a $500 blender. I like my Cuisinart 14 cup. Also quite expensive at $250. But I cook every meal at home. I use the blender every day and I use the food processor every time I meal prep, at least once a week. Edit: I looked up the wattage. The food processor I use is 750 watts. The vitamix is about 1500.
r/PlantBasedDiet • Blender and/or food processor recommendations? ->I have a Blendtec . . . just get a Vitamix. It'll last forever, do all it claims, and you'll never be like, "should I upgrade?" 10-15 years from now. As for a food processor, Cuisinart 14 cup, same logic, buy once, cry once, it will last the rest of your life and you'll be able to find replacement parts if anything breaks or 3rd-party accessories. Since you're waiting on the Vitamix till next year anyways, just get a dedicated food processor and maybe some bells n whistles. (Different blades, dough blade, etc)
r/Cooking • Blenders: Vitamix vs Ninja (I know, I know...) ->I have the 14 cup cuisinart - no complaints, it works great.
r/Cooking • Looking for suggestions on buying a food processor. ->I’ve had that Cuisinart 14 cup food processor for about 30 years, still going strong.
r/BuyItForLife • BIFL: Food processors. Which ones actually do what they promise to do? ->Funny you should comment, my plastic bowl just broke. Fortunately replacements are available and we are back in business
r/BuyItForLife • BIFL: Food processors. Which ones actually do what they promise to do? ->It was the tab that held the lid and took the pressure to press the safety. Appreciate the advice bu over 30 years that area in that channel was getting gross, so we bought a new 4 tab bowl.
r/BuyItForLife • BIFL: Food processors. Which ones actually do what they promise to do? ->I have had the 14c for several years now and love it. It’s great for whipping up a quick salsa! Can you share your dough recipe? I’d never even thought of that! Thank you!!!
r/Appliances • What’s the best food processor these days? In need of something reliable (and not impossible to clean) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
