I bought this larger Cuisinart food processor to replace my tiny Cuisinart blender chopper which lasted over 10 years.  It beat all my expectations.  I use mainly the blender feature which is great for smoothies, I used it when I had surgery and needed to be on a liquid diet for four weeks.  I understand this particular unit has been discontinued, so I’m happy I was able to purchase it.  The only drawback was the instruction video was unavailable, but YouTube took care of that.
