Over the past 10 years, I've had 3 different food processors made by Cuisinart. This year I got a Kitchen Aid and it blows Cuisinart away. First - the motor is dynamite-very high powered. Second, the quality is outstanding. The Cuisinart is flimsy by comparison. Finally, it does everything and it does it well. It comes with a mini-workbowl which is great for small tasks. Plus, it does a great job with pie doughs,bread doughs and pizza dough. The citrus press attachment is fantastic. There is virtually no effort involved in getting a glass of o.j. If you are a serious cook, this is the machine for you.

Pros: Cheap and easy to use
Cons: Single setting and messiness

I have never had another food processor so I don't have any grounds for comparison. Still, I know there must be something better out there. If you are a bonefied foodie you should get more (for more money). As a neophyte in the kitchen, I have used this machine twice, to make cranberry relish and gazpacho. Both times, the cup leaked contents from beneath (where the blades attach to the base). In fact, it leaked so badly that I am still wondering whether the manufacturer forgot to include a rubber stopper or something to water proof the mechanism. Considering that the machine can get very hot when you need to process something to a puree using its single setting, this can seem like an electrical accident waiting to happen. However, the machine is pretty easy to clean. So far, the cup and blades have survived the dishwasher. Also, the base, which lacks many crevices for grime to creep into can be wiped-down with a damp cloth.
