It's big. I should be able to make yeast bread with it.  I don't like the chopping mechanism.  Too bulky where do I store it?  I had a smaller Cuisinart and loved the storage unit for the shredding discs etc.  Like that it locked to protect nosey little kids. LOL I was hoping I could use those discs and that storage unit. But no go.   My biggest reason for 4 stars, it still collects cheese up under the cover.  You'd think Cuisinart could fix that or hasn't QC showed the engineers that? IDK Like the gun metal color. Off to make some biscuits for supper.  BTW my cheese was cold shouldn't collect under the cover.
