I was so excited to get this a few days ago. I had very high expectations and so far it meets them all. It is 13 cup so large enough to process foods for large meals or events. Due to the size, it cut my preparation time in half. We made a pureed sweet potatoe dish with shaved nut topping in 15 min, easily cleaned the processor and put it right away. Its also elegant looking on our kitchen counter. I downloaded a recipe book for it and now can't wait to buy accessories for my new Cuisinart Food Processor.
