Cuisinart Elite Collection 2.0 FP-12N 12 Cup Food Processor, White

It was time for an upgrade to my older processor and when I saw the Elite Collection® 2.0 12 Cup Food Processor, I knew I had found the perfect replacement. It has a strong quiet motor and produces a very fast, evenly chopped result. Having two sizes of bowl is very convenient. I love all my Cuisinart appliances.

I love this food processor. It is a perfect size for two. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Having both a large and small processor bowl is fantastic. The small bowl is just right for making hummus. I also love trying out different blades. I knew Cuisinart had a good reputation but this machine is great.

I am very pleased with my new food processor. It is SOOO quiet! I love that it works so fast and doesn't make a terrible racket. I cannot be happier with the way it grates and slices cheese, nor that it takes just seconds to chop onions or carrots. I have made perfect hash browns as well. It is one of the best investments I have made in my kitchen.

Because of arthritis in my hands, I couldn't open and close my old food processor & chose this one because of the push button lid. I've only used it a few times, but I can open and close it by myself. I do have a little difficulty dialing the thickness on the blade but can do it with the help of a rubber gripper. I didn't realize that it's a bit taller than my previous Cuisinart and am still trying to find a convenient place to store it in my kitchen. It doesn't quite fit under my upper cabinets but all in all I am happy with my purchase. I am not a baker (except for pies dough that I haven't yet made) but I like the convenience of chopping and slicing. For me, the place to wind the cord underneath is worthless because it is too heavy to do it. It would be more helpful on the back or if retractable.

For years my wife was after me to get a food processor but I kept procrastinating. We recently ordered one and I was totally amazed on how well it works. Be careful, however, it works so fast that you will want to keep chopping and slicing and then realize you have too much food processed.
