Strengths: Decent power, attractive styling

Weaknesses: A bit bulky, should include more accessories at this price

Summary: This food processor has decent power and works well.It replaced my single chopping unit and is significantly more versatile.It is also attractively styled and goes well with othersimilar Cuisinart stainless kitchen gadgets (of coursethe steel part is a bit thin just like on the others).Comes with two blades and two chopping attachments, I thinkat this price point it should have included at least some more.The packaging of the box even has space for extra pieces (it most likely shares this packaging with the next model up, the 2014 which I think comes with more pieces).Make sure you have decent space on your kitchen counter, as it's a bit bulky for the cupboard. Cusinart has a line of processors and this one is towards the high end and probably represents the best value among them.

Strengths: Amazing! Slices, chops and grates perfectly in less than a blink of an eye.

Weaknesses: You'll need a good sized cupboard to store this one. Wish it came with a storage tray for the *sharp* blades. Also, taking apart/putting together is a bit of a pain at first.

Summary: Please don't get offended by the title. I'm of Asian descent and I wish I knew years ago about what this food processor could do since alot of Asian cooking involves ton of knifework. I got the small version as a wedding gift and used it for a few things but finally decided to upgrade to the larger version. What a difference! This 11-cup baby can go through a package of pickled daikon radishes in a zip...all perfectly uniform. Feeding tube is a decent size. Have not tried the dough hook but can't wait. Have only used it for a few things but would highly recommend.

Strengths: good looking

Weaknesses: read my comments!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: I haven't used it many times, but so far I find it very good. I have had a Cuisinart food processor before and find this one a little easier to use. It is very sleek looking.Anyway, I havent used this as much as I had thought I would. I maybe use it 5-10 times a year, Hardly worth the price in my opinion. If your anything like me and you dont want to lug something heavy out all the time then you may not want to purchase this. If it doesnt matter than this is simply the top of the line
