This  is my second Cuisinart  food processor.  My first I bought 30 years ago and is still going strong; gave it to my Grandson who enjoys cooking. 
Brought the new because I figured it was time to upgrade; there was no question of what I was going to buy.
Am glad I did,  the improvements are wonderful,  I especially like the compactness of storing everything in one unit. Now I want the chopper and blender attachments.
