If you want a basic 14-cup food processor, this is it. The Cuisinart DFP-14BCN 14-Cup Food Processor doesn’t cost a lot, and it works.
The large bowl and chute makes it easy for all kinds of chopping, mixing and pureeing jobs. One reviewer mentioned that the chute is large enough to feed a third of a cabbage.
“It has the largest feed tube of any processor for home use, a very powerful motor, and it is big enough to handle almost anything even for a large party.” – Bill Stevenson, at Amazon.
All dishwasher safe parts (except the motor base, of course) will certainly put some minds to rest, but if you are handwashing it, try using a toothbrush for the shredding disc.
There are others complaining that the Cuisinart DFP-14BCN 14-Cup Food Processor doesn’t start when all the parts are not perfectly aligned, causing much frustration and waste of time.
This is not a common complaint among the users so it could be that the safety feature requires you to master the skill of locking it into place. Others have managed it and said that it was better to have this safety feature because the chute is large enough to fit your hand in, and the powerful motor and sharp blades are certainly strong enough to cut anybody’s head off.
“I’m happy about the safety features because I had to get stitches a few years ago after cutting my fingers on a handheld blender because I was tired and not paying attention…The 14 cup size is perfect for a family of 4 or more, and really even if you are only cooking for 2, this is still a great machine. I like cooking extra food so I have leftovers for later. Fast and Easy! I’m very happy I decided to spend the money. I highly recommend this product.” – Jane Caroll, reviewer at Amazon.
