Food Processor: Cuisinart 11 cup vs. Kitchen Aid 12 cup which is the better machine and better value?

I had a cuisinart for years and bought the kitchenaid on the weight of cooksillustrated review. The Kitchenaid is much harder to clean, the bowl handle filled with yuck, the little bowl was a pain to use, and now about a year later it quit working while I was creaming butter.I'm going back to cuisinart.

I also have the 12 cup Cuisinart food processor and I am so happy that I purchased this storage case. I do not know if it would fit the 11 cup but as the other reviewer stated...you can always return it!

YES! It's a great appliance, and the price can't be beat. The blade is strong (It works exactly like my cuisinart. The only real difference is that the overall machine is lot lighter/ weighs less). I've had no problem making applesauce or nut butters.

I honestly can't tell you on a food processor, but if those appliances are made like the Cuisinart Coffee Makers. Steer clear. My coffee maker started leaking after one year from the bottom of the appliance. I opened it up and what do I find? Cheap plastic lines connected directly to the heating element, one of which had melted. the Coffee maker is roughly 3 times as expensive as a comparable Mr. Coffee, even on sale, you would think they could put in good copper or stainless lines for that premium price. I will never purchase another Cuisinart anything!

2600 definitely has a 14 cups vs 12 for the 260 and has the Extreme brew which does brew the coffee faster than my old Mr. Coffee did. Would have bought the 2600 myself but it was not stocked where i bought it (plus i had a $50 gift card to boot so i put it to good use). Don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Don't know. I have the 12 cup. Did you read the info? Or talk to customer service for Cuisinart?

hmmm. this is 2009 so not sure: but I am confused because I was looking at a 7cup Kitchenaid and now the reviews are mentioning 12 cups

According to Cuisinart, DLC 834TX fits the 7 and 11-Cup Food Processors. It does not say anything about a 9-Cup processor.

The blender has a 5 cup capacity (holds 7 cups) and the food processor has a 4 cup capacity (holds less than 6 cups). So that is why you have to make smaller bread recipes. I had never looked at the cup marks before. It is fine for preparing food for freezer and canning during gardening season. I am well pleased at 6 months ownership.

They will fit 7 and 11 cup food processors, so may work for you. Perhaps calling Cuisinart would be a good idea.

I have no idea. I have the 12 cup food processor. I bought the egg whip but have not used it yet

I have purchased both for gifts. I paid $49 and $110. The more expensive machine is more metal and less plastic, looks better, and it is heavier. From what I can tell, the less expensive machine requires a little more pressure to process the frozen fruit. The higher priced machine appears to get the job done a little easier, and seems like it might last longer. Both make equally delicious frozen desserts!

I can't decide between the 11 cup and 14 cup. How much bigger is the 14 cup. If I were doing 6 potatoes (cut in quarters, how many times would I have to empty the bowel in each of them. Thanks

My first Cuisinart was a classic 7 cup - I had it for several years and gave it to a daughter when I later upgraded to a 11 cup model. It was nice, but really too large. My latest/current Cuisinart is a 7-cup and the size is perfect for me. I have several disks and use it all the time. However, if you like to create breads or pizza crusts I would say go for the 9-cup model, but for general home kitchen usage the 7 cup processor works best for me.

I don't know about a Kitchen Aid, but we have one covering a 12 cup Cuisinart food processor.

It looks like C120 machines on Amazon are all used. And 121 is a new sold by Nespresso. It's cheaper on their website

I didn't check features of the smaller models. But the 5.5 cup NS-YAC10 is a great machine -the umami setting produces fantastic white rice - as good as a restaurant - and I alsothe porridge setting to easily make steelcut oatmeal overnight and have it fresh inthe morning. I normally make small quantities of rice - e.g. 1/2 american cup dry -and it works fine. But nice to have the larger capacity for an occasional big party.
