Should I get this Cuisinart or the newer model, FP-14 Elite Collection (http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-FP-1...

Hi Taylor, off the bat, I say to figure what you'll need your machine for, and check the features of each to see which meets your need. I found the following article The Sweet Home website that helped me decide the best model for me: http://thesweethome.com/reviews/the-best-food-processor/ . Also, check out the food processor reviews at Cooks Illustrated website (the site's subscription based, so you may need to find someone with a subscription or hard copy if you don't have one already) I settled on the Custom, because considering what I'll use it for and how often I might use it, the basic, no-frills model is best for me; also, I'm not spending extra for bells and whistles. Hope this helps!

You'll have to contact Cuisinart or look at your owners manual. I had to look at mine before ordering this one. Sorry I can't help you.

I just ordered one to replace my DLC7 and it does NOT fit on the shaft of the Cuisinart Custom 14 that I have. I will be trying the FP100 blade next.

I would be clueless. All I know for sure is that this is my 2nd Cuisinart and I love it!

This model is the newest model the Elite. I have been using mine 2 to 3 times a day since I bought it and its performed perfectly for me. I've made soup, sorbet, sauces, and its done exactly what it says it will do. I am so happy with this purchase and would do it again.

If yours is old or has any other problems, buy an entirely new cuisinart. New features and works better. Comes with several new sharp blades. Anyway, my bowl didn't fit. I don't know the model of the old one; it was my mother's ancient possession.

This is a nice unit that will do a reasonable job. However, for a bit more money, the Cuisinart model DLC-2A will do a much better job of pureeing in less time. And it is a 3-cup capacity instead of the 2-cup capacity of the Kidco. Plus it's available in colors.

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.

Sorry I don't know, this is my first cuisinart. it looks great and make great coffee, if that helps.

I think you should get in touch with Cuisinart and ask them. I wouldn't know and personally don't care if they are or aren't.

It's very odd how many people take the time to respond to questions simply to say that they don't know the answer, isn't it? Having just returned a Cuisinart TOB-40 due to an electrical circuit failure after just one year of light use and replacing it with the Breville, there's notable difference in the Breville's cooking efficiency and uniformity of heat radiation. The quartz heating elements are far superior and the 'smart' heat distribution function seems to perform as advertised. I'm hoping to get similar improvement in durability over the disappointing Cuisinart TOB-40. The Breville is actually a bit smaller than the TOB-40 externally but doesn't sacrifice functional interior room and outperforms by a quite higher margin.

For a definitive answer I suggest you send an email to Cuisinart. They were very helpful when I wrote to them. Their website is www.cuisinart.com. Good luck!

I think this is the newer model. My sister in law recommended it and this is the one she had shown me to purchase.

I have no quarrel with the capacity of this machine, but shortly after I purchased mine the Cuisinart name was worn off from the front of the machine by light cleaning, much to my surprise. At first, only a few of the letters disppeared. Then, next time I wipred it with a dampened cloth, more letters disappeared. One of my friends who has the same machine reports that the bowl of her processor has broken. I am keeping my DLC-2014N, but have purchased a new 16-cup Elite model from Williams Sonoma (diecast), which is far superior. What is fortunate is that I paid the same price for both machines, although the 16-cup model, which is far superior in every way, is worth much more than the DLC-2014N in my opinion. I have had four Cuisinart food processors so far. My DLC7E was a workhorse, and I still use it now and then. I would say to buy the DLC-2014N with caution.

Yes. My Cuisinart is over 20 years old...Model DLC-10 Plus. Fits perfectly and made what was old seem new!

Probably best to check with Cuisinart directly. Either call or on their website.

it is hard to say, because Cuisinart may change the size on every new model. in my case I replace it and bought a new one less headache
