Cuisinart - CFP-9

I have a Cuisinart. It's buried and I can't exactly recall the specs, but it's a 9 cup one. I don't often use it but when I need it, it's a lifesaver! IIRC, it cost me less than $150

My 2008 Cuisinart is going strong, and I am rough on things. Part of the lid broke off just a couple weeks ago, and to my chagrin, I found a replacement part for $18. Its a 9-cup and I want to replace it with a 14-cup Custom, but this thing just won’t die!

We got a Cuisinart 9-cup food processor as an engagement present from my wife's aunt almost 20 years ago. It *just now* broke due to dropping it - a plastic piece broke, and I could not find a replacement part (I did not look too hard, as I wanted the 14-cup). Otherwise, it could probably go another 20. It was a beast. Every time I used it, I was reminded of the giver for a second, and was grateful for such a great gift (she passed not long after our wedding). I have given a couple as gifts for that reason, so that is my recommendation.

I have one from (I think) 1987, possibly 1988. It's a fantastic appliance but I was worried that once the bowl goes, I won't be able to replace it (plastics have come a long way since then). I decided to upgrade to a Magimix 5200 XL and love it. The current crop of Cuisinarts are made in China; Magimixes are made in France. FWIW my Cuisinart was made in Japan after Cuisinart and Robot Coupe parted company.

A robo coup lol. Best investment I've made but i work in hospitality so it pays for itself. Also easy to clean and can take an absolute thrashing. FYI, This is the company that made the original Cuisinart food processors back in the day.

I have a 1978 Cuisinart that kicks serious ass.
