Elemental 13-Cup 3-Speed Gray Food Processor and Dicing Kit

The Cuisinart Elemental 13-Cup 3-Speed Food Processor and Dicing Kit, Gunmetal is the best purchase I could have made! It is very versatile and well made. This food processor does nearly everything you could want. I researched all the major brands and their various models for over three weeks. Reading countless reviews, before deciding on the Cuisinart Elemental 13-Cup 3-Speed Food Processor and Dicing Kit, Gunmetal! Very glad I bought it! I feel I made the right decision! I really wanted a machine with a dicing feature. No matter the brand, many complain about them being hard to use and clean or wasting a lot of food. So I was very hesitate! I'm pleased to say, upon first use, I loved the dicer on my Cuisinart! I diced 6 medium potatoes with it. Stopping after three to clean the dicing grid with the provided tool. As per THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL's recommendations! It appears to me, many folks don't take the time to read through it or are illiterate! Yes, cleaning the grid took a little time to do, but it is still way faster than doing the dicing by hand! The diced potatoes where nearly all perfect in size and shape. With very little waste left over. Clean up afterwards was not too bad either. I used a skinny soft bristle brush to assist with cleaning. Let the machine do the work! The blades are super sharp so you don't need to push down on the pusher with any amount of force! All you need is to apply light, steady, even pressure on the pusher to assist in guiding the food through the feed tube! I have shredded both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses that turned out perfect! I have chopped pepperoni and made almond butter in the included small bowl, that both turned out great! I really like the small bowl, it saves time. And if you're careful you won't have to clean the large bowl underneath it, if you don't use it afterwards. Nice! I've also made pizza dough as well as, pepperoni and cheddar cheese spread. The dough and spread turned out fantastic. Everything blended together well, only stopping occasionally to scrape sides of bowl with included spatula. The adjustable slicing disc works terrific for potatoes, cucumbers, carrots etc. And it's very easy to adjust and use. The food processor motor is powerful enough to handle most anything and is average for noise level. The machine runs smoothly and doesn't shake or vibrate much at all. I like the suction cups on the bottom of based to help keep it in place. The included storage containers are awesome and very convenient! This food processor has nearly everything you could want. I plan on purchasing the spiralizer kit soon. And hope Cuisinart will come out with a dicing grid that makes larger sized cubes for this model! If you purchase this Cuisinart, I'm sure you'll be satisfied! It's a lot of bang for the buck! Plus, it's backed by a 3 year warranty, one of the best in the business!

I like my new food processor. It took me several weeks to decide which food processor to buy but, since I had already owned a Cuisinart, I decided to go with them again. This elemental 13 cup processor is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It does take up a little bit of room on the counter but it’s worth it to me. I love the tool box. It is so nice to be able to wash the accessories and put them right back where they belong. The locking or safety system is a little confusing at first but I have figured it out. The machine feels sturdy and has worked perfectly. It actually chops and grated in no time. I love it and would buy it again.

After reviewing several models, I chose this one since it has the dicing component and the nice storage options for all the accessories. It doesn't disappoint! I've been very happy with this purchase.

Great product. Quiet and power-full. Good size for our needs. It gets quite a bit of use as we cook a lot of meals at home.

I LOVE my new food processor! I was replacing a 7 cup cuisinart food processor that was about 10 years old and a little broken/leaky. I wanted something bigger. I came across this one and I was very intrigued by the dicing kit. Let me tell you—this thing has met or even exceeded all my expectations! It’s so big, the dicing kit is awesome, I love the small nesting bowl for smaller jobs, reversible shredding disc and ADJUSTABLE slicing disc are SO great. My old one had one shredding thickness and one slicing thickness. I absolutely love this one. Also the case for the attachments is so handy. It also weighs probably a third of what my old one weighed—I can pick this up with one arm from the lower cabinet with no problem. All attachments are dishwasher safe too, so I never hesitate to use it!

Before this purchase, I had a Cuisinart Pro 14 that I had been using for nearly 33 years, that is, until the bowl broke and could not be replaced. So far, I'm very happy with the Elemental 13 Cup Cuisinart with Dicing. I didn't know if I really wanted the bowl-within-a-bowl, but I find it very handy. It's also great that it comes with storage containers for all the tools, though I haven't found a place to put them yet. I am satisfied with this choice and am, as always, pleased with Cuisinart quality and customer service.

Fabulous machine! Easy to use, easy to clean...super sharp blades! Watch those digits, I now have a bandaid on one of mine. I'm so glad I purchased this and hope to use it for decades.

This is my 3rd Cuisinart food processor. If this one lasts as long as my others, I will be a very happy consumer. My first two were 15 and 18 years old when they wore out.

I've been slicing, dicing and mixing away. Love the large capacity and sturdiness as well as the ease of use.

What’s a kitchen without one of these? I certainly do not use mine every day. It’s not convenient enough to pull out for the small stuff, and not pretty enough to sit countertop, but for certain high preparation dishes, it’s magic.
