Cuisinart Custom 14 (DFP-14CPY) Food Processor Reviews

Just to let everyone know who reads this review, I am not being paid nor am I receiving any promotion from Cuisinart although it would be nice...hint, hint! I use my 14CFP almost everyday from making pizza dough to coleslaw I also make a walnut crescent cookie which requires the walnuts to be turned into almost a paste like consistency and the 14CFP does so effortlessly. It is easy to clean and doesn't take up too much counter-space which is super important if doing any kind of production type cooking. One awesome feature is that it is super quiet to operate, so don't worry about the neighbors at 3:00am unless putting marbles in it...lol but it is really quiet and smooth, the 14CFP doesn't jump all over the counter nor cause things to rattle out of the cupboards...it's just smooth! All in all I am really please with my Cuisinart 14CFP and I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a quality Food Processor.

Chopping cabbage and onion does not give an even chop. Some get tooo finely chopped while some are still chunk pieces.

I recently got a 14 cup Food Processor to replace my Cuisinart from 1981. The new machine is a big improvement on the old one, which I had always thought was good. The design is similar but the new machine is smoother, the feed tube and large pusher is simpler and all the hard parts to clean have been redesigned so that they are easier to run water through. I am very impressed and find myself using it more often because it works so well and it is easy to clean.

It would be nice to come up with a special tool to clean sticky butter/flour remnants off the blades.

Excellent machine and a real work horse. I had a Cuisinart for 25 years, switched to a Breville. Burned it out in 5 yrs. Back to Cuisinart. My only regret is I prefer Breville's discs as there are 2 size holes on most. I have more discs to store now. However anticipate another 25 yrs with this work horse.

Easy to assemble, use and clean, enjoying trying many features and expanding my cooking skills

Love this powerful amazing processor. It's simplicity design and best of all.. simple to use.

I'm a longtime Cuisinart food processor user, and the bowl and lid assembly of this unit is MUCH improved over what I've had in the past. Earlier versions had interlocking plastic tabs to safely activate the motor and to prevent the blade from spinning when the lid was off, and while they did their job, they were vulnerable to breakage. On this processor, metal parts perform the activation function. This is an excellent upgrade. The unit performs its slicing, shredding, grating and kneading functions just as expected.

Very quite I was surprised. Also surprised that with only one speed the results were outstanding (excluding pulse mode). It also helps the America's Test Kitchen recommends this model. It's a bit heavy but I don't mind.

I love this appliance! Gotta be careful of those blades while washing though! Made my work so easy!!
