i love this. I wasnt sure as there were some bad reviews out there but they turned ou to be old, it was the gasket problem and cuisnart fixed that but unfortunately others out there dont know that.. This has everything I would want, I love the two bowl sizes and I love the way the top comes off and goes on, and the gasket making it leak proof. I love the watts and its hard to say anything bad about it. Its taken everything Ive thrown at it easily and very quietly which is very imnportant to me.. The only concern if there were any and its not a deal breaker, is the smaller pusher can be a little hard to clean if you dont have a dish washer which I don't but it no way is taken anything away from it. I hope it last forever. Its built like it will! thank you cuisinart.
