After looking at many different food processors we settled on the Cuisinart DLC-2009. It is a great unit and I am sure you will be very happy with it if you purchase one. Very well made and very heavy motor that has no trouble with anything you may put in it. Also, a pleasant surprise was that we found all of the attachment cutting and grating blades from our old "American Food Processor" [from the 1980's] fit this unit perfectly and work like a charm. A "win-win" situation. A+++++ for this unit.
