This is a replacement food processor. I had one just like this and have used it regularly for 30 years. I have had a couple of replacement parts, but I have had no trouble in finding them. I could not get along without it..

Best Purchase Ever

I purchased an inexpensive food processor many years ago and was very dissatisfied so I stopped using it and never replaced it. I now have my own garden, and I prepare the foods I grow for storage and prepare more meals from scratch. I realized I needed a food processor to make these tasks quicker and easier. I did my research and Cuisanart was recommended over and over, so I purchased the 14 cup custom food processor. I am very pleased with my choice. I am even grinding my own chicken and turkey meat, and I will be making homemade pasta soon! It is also so quiet - I am amazed!

I could not exist without my Cuisinart Food Processor. I still have the 11 cup Cuisinart which I have owned for more than 20 years. I purchased this new 14 cup to handle larger projects. One or both are always in use. Many years ago, I broke the center spindle using the slicing disk to slice partially frozen beef for stir-fry. I called the manufacture and a replacement part was sent immediately for no charge. I have been sold on the product ever since.
It has so many versatile functions, I literally use it everyday to prep veggies, make sauces and to refine a variety of dishes for more perfect presentation.

My spouse had a smaller processor and was wondering about a larger unit. We choose Cuisinart because of our previous experience and are pleased, very pleased with our new processor. Although use has just begun, we are completely satisfied.

fromJarreau LA
Have a Cuisinart 3 cup prep center that I have used for over 15years and though it still works fine I have been wanting a processor with a larger bowl that could handle bread dough.
Saved up and made this purchase. Lov it, lov it, lov it.
Was surprised at how quiet it runs. Everything I hoped for.
It sits side by side on the counter with my 3 cup. Thanks Cuisinart.

This versatile product performs many kitchen tasks.
No home kitchen should be without it. It desn't take up much counter space, and it is well made, and will last for many years. My previous one is 16 years old and still works well, although some parts are broken from long usage.
It is easy to clean after using it.

I finally took the plunge and upgraded to this excellent food processor. This food processor is so quiet and powerfull!!
Will say that watching the video helped with tips on how to use this easily.
Usually I keep my processor in the cabinet, but this one will stay on the counter as it is so sleek and so easy to clean.
Found my husband using this also, which was a HUGE SHOCK, as he never cooks, but he made a simple dinner which I just loved!

I have been pining over this exact model for months now. Fortunately for me, my boyfriend bought this for me for Christmas. We immediately went out and bought ingredients for making pesto and hummus. Both have turned out great!
I must say that is all we have made so far, but I am excited to try out more recipes. The booklet comes with a lot of great ideas! I am also super excited that it is able to knead dough.
When thinking about what size to get, definitely go bigger! You never know when you might have a dinner party to attend to. I've been making small amounts in this large size processor, and haven't had any trouble with it. It's better safe than sorry!

I use this tool almost daily for so many different jobs. I almost need to order another work bowl because I use it so often when I am cooking that it slows me down if I have to stop and wash the bowl between uses. Every one needs to have a Cuisinart Food Processor.

this has been the best addition to my kitchen forever. i love it so much i bought this stainless model for my best friend that also cannot live without it on her kitchen counter because she also uses it every day. i have had a cuisinart since their first one and when i bought this one, gave that one to my brother and sister-in-law after 25 hard years of use and they used it until it died and she bought the other largest model with the special speed for dough!!!! we are a cuisinart family and i am saving for the 7qt mixer and convection brick oven. they last forever while working better than any other product brand!!!!!!!!

Cuisinart 14 cup food Processor

Thanks to the great reviews here, I was able to buy this unit knowing all of the pieces would fit with my 25 year old DLC-7 model. I love the improvements Cuisinart has incorporated into the unit and accessories. The pieces fit together very smoothly and it doesn't stick when you go to unlock the bowl from the connections. I broke the plastic on the old bowl just because I couldn't unlock it from the unit. The Cuisinart Food Processor is a must have for all serious cooks, you can make anything.
The video is a nice touch; you can see everything being used as well as getting some new recipes. I am always happy with my purchases from Chef's catalog and always order on line with confidence.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, capacity, construction, Cord length, durability, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, Long-lasting, Number of speeds, Performs Well, quality, size, True to Color, Value for Money, Variety of Colors, Warranty

If you prefer homemade to processed food, a food processor is a must in the kitchen. This product is as rugged as it is stylish, and will measure up to any task you give it. My only complaint is the cumbersome safety mechanism associated with all processors today.
Pros: stylish, rugged
Cons: cumbesome safety design

Cuisinart outdid themselves when they came up with their food processors! After using this fine machine you wonder how you ever worked in a kitchen without one!! Does everything so effortlessly. A complete pleasure! No job too big! I could go on, and on, but the bottom line...BUY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really have enjoyed this appliance. It does so much, is very easy to operate and clean. It has a spot on my counter so it's ready at any time. Shreds at a moments notice. Mixes, blends, chops....it does it all.

I knew there was only ONE thing I wanted for Christmas. THIS processor. And I was not disappointed. I love it.
I baked a ton of goodies for Christmas and used this processor for all of the recipes: chopping nuts, mixing dough, pureeing berries......and then turned around and used it for dinner: grating cheese, slicing potatoes, chopping veggies for soup.
It locks in easily, works like a charm and is a cinch to clean. Best food processor I have EVER had!

This food processor is powerful, easy to clean, and simple to use. I have used this machine to shred, slice, mince, and chop and it does each job with ease. The extra large feed tube is very convenient. I have sliced vegetables, shredded cheeses, and made an incredible cream of cauliflower soup. I'm looking forward to discovering all the jobs that this tool will help me with!!
