strongest motor of its class
By A Customer
We chose this model because we don't want to move really heavy appliances around on the countertop, but the mini-choppers are too small for our recipes. The 2007 weighs about 13 pounds and uses the same wattage motor and most of the same disks as the 11-cup model in this line, although it lacks the extra slow-speed control button for dough processing, and it uses the old-style plastic dough blade. (In this size, it's probably a pie-crust dough maker, not a bread dough maker, anyway.) It's the biggest motor we found on a food processor this size.

Good stuff:

Easy wipe-clean base--no crevices to catch food. Hurray!

Stable and relatively quiet during use.

Easy top-rack dishwasher clean-up (power-saver no-heat drying)

Easy to add small (or liquid) ingredients during processing. Small inner pusher piece is removable, giving access to a small feed tube. There's also a drip hole for liquids in the bottom of the small pusher piece.

Not so good stuff:

Very fi ddly mechanism for locking down the workbowl before processing.

The large outer pusher piece, that goes into the main feed tube, has a metal rod that pushes down another rod on the lid, that pushes down another rod on the bowl, that finally pushes a control on the base.

If you have to remove the large pusher to add more big stuff to the bowl, the mechanism stops. Probably just as well, since a child's hand could easily fit through the large main feed tube.

I do wonder how sturdy the locking mechanism will be in the long run, but so far, so good.

My new best friend!
By Bari Allen
We've had this processor in the house for just about a month. The item paid for itself the first time I used it, due to being a huge time-saver for my normally busy schedule (it enables me to try new recipes I normally wouldn't have time to mess with). I've used it to chop & puree for several soups (Mulligatawny, White Bean, Gazpacho, etc.). The shredding disk shredded a whole block of Manchego for Balsamic Portabello/Onion/Cheese Omeletes in about a second. It shredded potatoes just as fast for a crust to a Carmelized Onion/Fennel Pie (of which I used the slicing blade for the onions & fennel). I find the slicing blade to be a lifesaver for items I want to keep "on-hand" for salads, sautees, etc. (like onions/bell peppers). This is my first food processor, and I wondered about the learning curve--to which I found none. It is really easy to put together, as well as take apart & clean. I'm also amazed at how quiet this thing operates. We had cheap mini-chopper for chopping onions, and while the noise never bothered me, compared to this processor, it was obnoxious. I'm sure I could actually run this thing next to sleeping humans without waking them! Thank you Cuisinart--I'm impressed!

Buy this and you won't regret
By Avatar
I bought this from amazon after my cheap Black & Decker FP1400 Quick N' Easy Plus Food Processor became unusable just after a year (shattered bowl and eventual motor failure). I was a little hesitant to spend more than $100 for a FP, but I am happy I did. My wife compliments me whenever she uses it. It's very quiet, very well-built, and very powerful. You can't go wrong with the 3 yr overall/10 yr motor warranty.

Update (September 2011): Still going strong after 7 years!
