I have just received this and only used it a few times, but I like it and it seems to work well. The hardest part was learning how to put it together. If you don't get the small mixing bowl in just right, you cannot close/lock the processor. I would have benefited in more detailed instructions on how to assemble the different bowls, slicers & dicers. Instead, I had to get a little frustrated by trial and error. That said, I am looking forward to trying more things with my Cuisinart 13 cup food processor.
