Question: I'm reviewing the Cuisinart FP-14DC Elie vs. Kitchen aid 13 cup KFP1333CU.  Thoughts on which is better?
Document: This is my first food processor and I went big. (Actually I have a 3c Cuisinart Mini Prep, but that's a whole different beast.) I have the die-cast 12 cup processor and am absolutely in love with it. Some thoughts:Cons:  I have a pantry and the processor does stay there due to the small size of my kitchen and my Kitchen Aid mixer taking up much of the counter space.
the Cuisinart FP-12BK Elite Collection 12-Cup Food Processor in Black is an expensive food processor, but feels very quality. you can tell it is very powerful and handles everything i've thrown in it with ease. i think the peanut butter i made was the most impressive for its ease in preparation and 'better than store quality' results. came out perfectly creamy and delicious. much better than the peanut butter my old, smaller cuisinart struggled to make.
FP-12 is one button push and much easier to turn the bowl off. Not to mention it just feels sturdier and clicks/locks better into place.IMHO the order of Cuisinart food processors:1. Cuisinart FP-12 (DC is die-cast (metal color). You can save money (almost $50!) by choosing the other colors.)2. Cuisinart Prep Plus 9 and 11 cup - much better attachment to base but lid is just a plastic latch.3.
I love my Kitchen Aid food processor but it was only a 7-cup and I wanted a larger unit. I researched and I purchased the Cuisinart 12DC Elite 12 cup food processor. The large chopping blade has a rubber seal that attaches and seals the blade inside of the work bowl. You attach the blade by simply pushing down on the blade until it snaps down inside the work bowl.
I LOVE my Cuisinart- FP 12 Cup EC unit, I'm a semi-new foodie and have discovered I love to cook and I must say it has cut down on my prep time considerably; I've only had this processor for a couple of weeks and all I can say is way cool.
I've owned various models of Cuisinarts for many years and have always considered them the Cadillac of food processors. Recently I gave away my DLC-2014 model to a relative and upgraded to the FP-14DC, their newest model. I'm beginning to think I may have been too hasty. The most obvious difference between the newer and older model is the design of the workbowl. Cuisinarts have always had straight-sided bowls, but the FP-14DC's bowl is flared -- wider at the top than at the bottom.
I'm very much pleased with my Cuisinart Elite 12-Cup Die Cast Food Processor. Initially it was difficult to decide between the Cuisinart and KitchenAid. The Cuisinart has a 1000-watt motor and the KitchenAid's was considerably less powerful. I don't know whether wattage actually translates into better performance or not. However, the difference was significant enough and coupled with their decades long tradition of quality, I decided to go with the Cuisinart. I chose the 12-cup instead of the 14.
What a wonderful machine! Every now and then I forget I have this on my counter, but every time I remember I put down my chef's knife and let this beauty do all the hard work. I save so much time using my Kitchen Aid food processor. Only when I want to feel more involved do i reach for the knife. I have been able to optimize my bread & dough making, my veggie slicing, cheese grating and salsa making. Making nut butters alone make the FP-12DC worth it.
I didn't buy my Cuisinart Elite model FP-14DC here, but have had a model FP-14DC Cuisinart Food Processor (from a local department store) for about ten days now. Mainly I wanted to post something this soon because I carefully read all the Amazon reviews and had some reluctance in the purchase due to a worry about a seam catching and holding onto flour.
I've looked at other brands and other models (including a Kitchen Aid, which has a nice adjustable slicer but some of the other issues the Elite has). I love that adjustable slicing disc and several brands are now doing it, but I want one that is a decent size (but not a monster) and easy to clean and that processes all the food. I'm an optimist. I'm hoping that someone is going to make this Food Processor before my old Little Pro Plus dies completely.
Answer: I had a Black & Decker 7-cup food processor before, so I really can't comment on the 13 cup Kitchen Aid one. I really like the Cuisinart 14-cup. I haven't tried dough yet, but I've made chicken salad, sorbet, and hamburger (from very lean tenderloin beef), and it was very good for that. Unfortunately, for slicing vegetables, it's no better than my old Black and Decker: stuff tends to slide sideways and get caught between the metal plate and the lid. You really have to have the feeder tube stuffed tightly, and large, harder things like potatoes and big carrots work better than cucumbers or softer things.
