"I have had the Cuisinart 14 cup for over 20 years. It is a beast."
"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."
"I’ve had that Cuisinart 14 cup food processor for about 30 years, still going strong."

"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."
"Cuisinart pro 14c especially for nut butters"
"It really does well with large batches of hummus, salsa and relish."

"My Cuisinart 14 cup is a beast and has every attachment on earth (including a dicer and spiralizer, which both get heavy use). ... It's far easier to set up, use, and clean the food processor than it is to stand and chop 30lbs of produce!"
"I use cuisinart for dough making and grating , fine slicing etc , it works great for that."

"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!"
"Admittedly it's a pain to clean if you're using the attachments, but the regular bowls and blades are a cinch (and I've washed them plenty of times on the top rack of the dishwasher without issue)."
"Everything can go into the dishwasher."

"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)"
"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."
"Funny you should comment, my plastic bowl just broke. ... It was the tab that held the lid and took the pressure to press the safety."

"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."
"I have the cuisinart 14 cup and regret not getting one slightly smaller. ... smaller bowl would just make small volumes of dressings easier."
"There's a big hole in the middle that comes up around 1/3rd to 1/2-way up. If you overfill, the liquids will fall into the hole."

danibarxy5 1.0I was looking at this same deal! I ended up getting the x5, which is currently $150 off through Vitamix. The x2 is only $50 off. I really wanted the Costco deal because of the value of the package, and the blender/processor combo is what I’m used to . I have the ninja blender ultimate w/ includes the blender, processor, and smoothy cups, same auto detect technology, but when I asked myself what I don’t like about it, I didn’t like the small capacity of the processor and food chute. And if you look deep into the Ascent x2 reviews on Costco, there are plenty of people complaining the auto detect on the processor. For my needs, when I use a processor, I need it for big batches, so I’m going old school and will get the 14 cup classic Cuisinart processor. It is on sale right now too, so I’m getting the x5 and cuisinart for close to the same price as the x2 Costco deal. My x5 arrived today! High end kitchen appliances for the win!
FantasyCplFun 1.0For home use, the Cuisinart models are typically rated among the best, if not the best. I almost always see the classic 14 cup in the number 1 spot. It works very well and has a brake to stop the blade quickly to prevent over chopping.

It doesn't have a brake the bigger one, but it does a great job.

Ok-Conversation-7292 0.5i have a 20 years old 14 cup Cuisinart, i make all my pie crusts in in (using the recipe that came with it). I bought several attachments for it too, it's a work horse and held up perfect.
21 years old 14 cup cuisinart, works like new. It paid for itself in pie crusts alone, lol.
ttrockwood 0.5Cuisinart pro 14c especially for nut butters
14c is the standard has been around forever and recipes that use a food processor (pie dough and such) assume 14c
Bluevelvet_starry_ 0.2I 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!!!
LadyOfTheNutTree 0.2I dreamed for years of having a robot coupe at home. Currently I have the cuisinart 14c processor and gotta say it is a pretty good consolation prize. It’s a powerhouse and all of the parts are pretty easily replaceable. It’s been going strong for about 5 years now. Obviously not in the same league, but for 1/4 of the price it’s been a great appliance.
96dpi 0.2What's your budget? The determines a lot. The Cuisinart 14-cup is my recommendation, but it's almost $300 on Amazon right now. If you are patient, you can wait for a sale. I was able to get it for $150 back in 2021, but those days may be over. My only gripe with it is it does not work well with small amounts, but that might not be a fair gripe, considering its size.
abductee92 0.2Cuisinart 14 cup. Nice capacity and the short pulse allows for good texture without completely liquifying everything.
Andrew-Winson 0.2Cuisinart is the benchmark for a reason. I’ve had my 14-cup model for about 10 years at this point, never regretted it.
Anneisabitch 0.2I got mine over Christmas for $160 so it still happens. I love mine and use it all the time but I’d really struggle to pay $300. That’s a Le Creuset price
