Cuisinart - Elite Collection 12 Cup Food Processor

It’s okay, but not as good as the one you’re talking about. I got it as a gift a couple years ago. I found that attaching the cover to the bowl was a pain, and the attachments took a lot of space in my small kitchen (something to note if cabinet space is an issue). I returned it and bought the paddle one. I’m much happier with it. It comes with fewer bells and whistles in the form of attachments and blades, but feels and performs like a workhorse. I believe that’s the trade-off sometimes with certain products from the same company: The best one comes pretty basic, but the “lesser” ones get lots of extras to compensate for not being the best lol.

The way the top attaches on this model is more prone to breaking than the paddle model.

My Cuisinart holds 12c. It’s about 15 years old and I probably wouldn’t buy the same on again. Any chance you could share the recipe?

I have this one…it’s a work horse - the feeding tube is great (biggest mouth tube of all processors, but pusher is fiddley). It’s all dishwasher safe, but it’s lots more parts and bulkier than my old unit. This model has an optional dice kit I bought that does a quick job dicing up the “Holy Trinity” I use in almost everything. (I like my soup & stew to have same sized chop). Was worth the $99 I believe the paddle unit is a 10cup - and this is a 12

I have the 14 and 12. Get the 14. It doesn’t sound like a big difference but it really is.

This version just doesn’t last vs the paddle professional line one you are referencing. I got the pro one maybe 20 years ago and other than a hazy container from all the nuts I’ve chopped it is a rock. This version my sister has bought probably 3 times now is a similar timeframe.

I have the big momma cuisinart too. Works great when i lug it out.
