By far Cuisinart's best and most useful design. I bake all my own bread so the size was important to me, but even at this honking great capacity this unit will chop a single clove of garlic to a fare-thee-well. The tolerances are so fine on the blade that it makes sauces and everything else without fuss. I've had three food processors over the years: a Moulinex that lasted about fifteen years, a Kitchen-Aid that was over-designed and overly fragile (lasted only three years) and now this guy. I love it.
