I originally had a DC-8 which Cuisinart no longer makes, so I bought this as a replacement. It is a little underpowered and a little small - but the 11 cup was overkill. If you need a cuisinart for small jobs or occaisional use this one is perfect.

I purchased this a couple months ago. Due to a busy work schedule, I only get to cook 3-4 times a week. The 7-cup is a great size for a small apartment kitchen. It's made my life one heck of a lot easier for sauces and vegetables; I'm not disappointed with its performance for slightly bigger jobs, either. I never cook for more than 5 people, so this was a perfect choice. I thought cleaning the pieces would be a nightmare, but it's surprisingly easy! I certainly believe I received a quality product for the money I paid.

Super machine, small footprint for limited kitchens!

I bought this for a friend for Christmas. She loves it and says it is the best processor she has ever owned. It is just the right size - others she has owned have been too large or too small. She is also impressed with the power and ease of use. I plan to purchase this model for myself.

The 7-c. Stainless model is great looking on the counter. It is a good size for pie crust, pestos, and blended dips. I use it frequently!!
