This is my second 7-cup Cuisinart Food Processor. I’ve had the first one for many years - maybe more than 20.  It worked beautifully until I tried to make bread dough in the processor and burned out the motor.  This model works as well as my first. The improvement comes in the storage system. The way all the parts can be stacked inside the bowl is ingenious. It is far superior to the old ways with separate strage which took up more space in my cupboard.  If I had had the space, I would have bought the 14-cup model which would exponentially increase my uses. As it is, I bring out my 7-cup often for quick slicing and dicing.  It takes the drudgery out of food prep chores.
