Lots of help in the kitchenSeptember 7, 2010 Mountain Photographer This is by far the best food processor I've every had. Having the 3-bowl sizes has been a help because, for example,I make the dressing for my coleslaw in the smaller one then process the cabbage in the big one. I've made a bunch of stuff that I wouldn't have started without it so it's helping me keep my family healthy. I even used it to start 10 lbs of homemade sauerkraut. I'm sure I wouldn't have thought about chopping 5 heads of cabbage without it. I like the blade storage cabinet that comes with it. Unfortunately, the DVD and instruction book that are supposed to come with it were missing so I downloaded instructions from Cuisinart's web site.
Sweet!September 5, 2010 Oh My Stars(NC) Love this powerful machine! Bought to replace my older 5 cup KitchenAid processor. Love the three bowls and being able to fill to capacity with no spills, not to mention the blades stay put (locked in place) when pouring and it's very nice to have the locking accessory storage box. It does feature pouring spouts, but I see no real benefit of them at this point. Would like to see the specialty blade pack made available for this unit. I tried dough in the machine, but it doesn't do as good of a job with dough as my KitchenAid mixer, therefor 4 stars.
Great Item. But dont buy a storage container.August 26, 2010 hason1980 This is an amazing Food processor. Nothing bad to say about it. Just dont buy an additional storage case for it. It is listed as not having one on Amazon so I ordered the storage case seperatly. The Food Processor DOES COME with the storage case.
Does the jobAugust 20, 2010 C. Bergstrand(Show Low, AZ USA) Great food processor. It is heavy, as was noted in other reviews. I love the adjustable slicing blade. Many choices without changing blades. The "no overflow" feature of the bowl is also great.

I love the Cuisinart FP-12DC Elite Collection 12-Cup Food Processor, Die Cast food processor like it's my own child.
I'm vegan and about half my food is raw, so I am hard on a processor. I use it at least a few times a week, and have used it for everything from pureeing chunky raw veggies to mixing and kneading seitan (a REALLY tough wheat gluten-based dough). The shredding disc works very well, though it does leave chunks from the ends that sometimes slip through (the same thing has happened with every food processor I've ever owned). Despite what the description says, the grater blade IS reversible for a large or small grate. The slicing disc is AMAZING. I used it to do about 4 pounds of thinly-scalloped potatoes, and it took less than 5 minutes. It's a safe alternative to a mandoline slicer, too - no getting fingertips in your meals.
I absolutely love having the 4-cup bowl for smaller servings of hummus, guacamole, nut butters, and tahini that wouldn't reach the blade in the large bowl. I will never buy a single-bowl food processor again! The lid seals water-tight, and has held up to gazpacho, shredded beets, nutritional yeast sauce, and a lot of other things that tend to make an unholy mess of my kitchen.
The one complaint I have about it is that you can't remove the larger feed slot while the blade is running. I'm sure that's for safety reasons and to prevent splatter, and as I was using the slicer disc at the time, it was a quick workaround to slide the tube out, set a potato on the blade, then slide it back; the motor automatically turns on again as soon as the tube is in place.
I've only had it for a couple months, so we'll see how long it lasts. But the real reason I chose this machine is the 3-year motor and 10-year parts warranty, because I tend to beat the crap out of my appliances. I'll follow up if/when it breaks and how the customer service is regarding replacement.
Aesthetically, it's sleek and gorgeous on my countertop, which is good because the base is ridiculously heavy and there's no way I would lift it in and out of a cupboard every day. It just feels really well made and of high quality. I love this thing!
