This purchase was the third food processor I have bought in my life, and by far, my favor. The quality of the cuts has surpassed my previous Cuisinart food processors. Get the 12 cup, which I should have done before because their is no overflow or worries about clean up. I just love this processor and the on-off feature is the simplest and easiest operating system. I thought it would be terrible, but it makes so much more sense!
