I bought this in the fall of 2017 to replace a Cuisinart I had had for 36 years and gave up only when the work bowl could no longer be held together with duct tape.  I loved my old one and now I love this one.  I cook a lot and have found that my Cuisinart is indispensable, especially during the holidays.  It is a good size, fits on my countertop underneath the cabinets, and cleans easily.  The cutting disks store within the work bowl, which is a nice feature.
