Elite Collection 12 Cup Food Processor

I had a Cuisinart 12 that I got a good 5 years out of about 10 years ago. I also acquired it for free as an employee perk when the department store I was working at closed down. Floor model. The plastic housing at the top shattered one day when I was putting the lid on. I got a Breville 12 for Christmas a few years back. It's a workhorse and I rarely use the full bowl (there's only 2 of us). I use the mini, inner bowl all the time, at least once a week, sometimes more. I'm also much more respectful of the tool, hand wash only, no banging it around.  The base is rather heavy. That's my only negative comment on it.

Costco has a sale. Bought a 12 cup Cuisenart last night online for $40 off.

I've had the 12 Cup Cuisinart Elite, with the 3-cup secondary bowl for about 15 years or so. The thing is a beast. Lots of power, you can tell they built a powerful high torque motor because it doesn't sound like a jet plane when it's working (it's not spinning to 50,000rpm like some of those underpowered food processors)
