14 Cup Food Processor FP-1400

I 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!

i 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.

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!!!

I 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.

What'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.

Cuisinart 14 cup. Nice capacity and the short pulse allows for good texture without completely liquifying everything.

Cuisinart is the benchmark for a reason. I’ve had my 14-cup model for about 10 years at this point, never regretted it.
