My previous Cuisinart was worn out and the plastic container gave up the ghost. I’ve used this brand since they first came out many decades ago. This model with the inserted smaller container appealed to me and it works great! Small one for small jobs, larger one for most other. There is a silicone lid seal which prevents liquids from leaking and another design stops leaks at the bottom. It’s perfect. The only downside is the silicone seal, which picked up the garlic I was chopping. I put it in a bag with fresh coffee grounds for a while, and the garlic disappeared. This is large, has 2 discs - an adjustable slicer and a 2 sided grater, which is all I need. Love this machine!
