I bought this model to replace a working Cuisinart food processor because food was being caught in the inside rim.  This model is even worse. It has a rubber gasket that keeps it from securing top by going in crooked and won't let machine work.  I have to hit the high button two to thee times before it will stay on - acts like the pulse button.  I shredded cabbage (do like the two sided feature) but again the food was packed around the inside rim.  The first time I used it (and I've been using processors for years) as I turned the top a piece of plastic snapped off on the edge by the handle. One nice thing the bowl has a closed bottom.  If I hadn't given my daughter-in-law the older one, I would throw this one in the trash.  So very disappointed.
