I'm reviewing the Cuisinart FP-14DC Elie vs. Kitchen aid 13 cup KFP1333CU. Thoughts on which is better?

I returned my cuisanart FP-14DC and purchased the Breville sioux chef 16 cup. My cuisanart would shut down many times while pulsing and the Breville is a beast of a machine and i would recommend the Breville. It's a few more bucks but the customer service is top notch.

We enjoy the larger 14 cup model with more options and it is NOT hard to clean as some say it is!!

I had a Black & Decker 7-cup food processor before, so I really can't comment on the 13 cup Kitchen Aid one. I really like the Cuisinart 14-cup. I haven't tried dough yet, but I've made chicken salad, sorbet, and hamburger (from very lean tenderloin beef), and it was very good for that. Unfortunately, for slicing vegetables, it's no better than my old Black and Decker: stuff tends to slide sideways and get caught between the metal plate and the lid. You really have to have the feeder tube stuffed tightly, and large, harder things like potatoes and big carrots work better than cucumbers or softer things.

I suggest you go to the Cuisinart website and ask this question there. Then you will know the answer from the horse's mouth!

So sorry. Mine is about the same as the one I replaced. I'd suggest that you contact Cuisinart's customer service, but they are a pretty pathetic bunch.

We went for the 840 Infuser, I read a lot of reviews and having a stand alone grinder of good quality is better all round than having one in the machine.I'm sorry to say I haven't found a grinder that I like, so I grind in the store with a professional grinder, I'm not prepared to pay for a professional grinder (yet).Plus the infuser is idiot proof and it makes great coffee, time after time. I do feel it needs cleaning more often than our last Breville but I'm ok with that.

If you don't mind spending the extra $50 I would go with the stainless steel model. I've owned my E210 for about five years and I've noticed the porcelain is not hold up. I live in Wisconsin.

Hi Jorge- I just took the model details you provided and did a Google search. What came back was a large amount of information that you will find useful. Specifically, I was taken to Sears Direct. That site provides me with all the information I needed around the kitchen aid blender. I hope this helps your investigation.

I tried both. I actually bought the cuisinart first but found the quality not so good. I ordered the fager and my DH likes it much better. The cleanup is a lot easier (the lid is easier to clean and the gasket to reinstall) and it browns meat before cooking. Another great feature is being able to cook in it. If things seems like they are not cooking you can just use brown and it cooks as if it were a pot on the stove. Love the fager!!!

The only difference I am aware of is the DCC2600 is 14 cup (vs DCC2650 12 cup) and has a $15 higher selling price.

Couldn't find the exact model number on their site but this model seems close: http://www.cuisinart.com/discontinued/blenders/cbt-500fp.html If I were you, I would return it and get another brand.

I really depends on what you are cooking, or for how many, or do you freeze leftovers. I think the 6 quart isi the best for all three. I think this cuisinart size is best because of the options that it gives you. You can cook for one or a party.

LOL!!! I debated the same thing! Ended up going with the stainless as I thought it matched the kitchen better. No rust issues, heats up very quickly. Not too big, not too small! Just be careful the first time or two when you pick it up by the handle as certain areas on the handle can get hot. Once you get used to that, it's no issue!

Sorry-can't help. It was a gift for my Mother. Perhaps on Cuisinart's own website. Good luck.

They are fairly similar in most aspects (my in-laws have Cuisinart) and both work well. I believe the pre-set temperature settings are slightly different but not significantly. One thing I prefer on a revile is that temperature setting buttons are on base and not handle. The labels on the buttons on the Cuisinart handle wear off fairly quickly due to handling. Base on Breville is slightly larger which has obvious pros and cons. I also feel (with no proof) that the Breville has a slightly better balance when held and full. Basically it is a few small things that make me prefer the Breville, but both do the job reliably and effectively.

Hello. If you can afford the 3, get it...if the other might be too small, why take a chance? You'll be able to use it more! By the way, ALL-CLAD "rocks"! You'll never be sorry for selecting that maker!!! Professional cook-ware!

I have been trying to figure this out as cuisinart doesn't even have a 780 listed on their website and I was confused. If the only difference is the kcups and filters, then the 700 would be a better deal for us as we don't generally like most of the sampler kcups and amazon's price on it is currently $175

I asked Cuisinart about this, they said, none. The EPC-1200 is the model they sell through Costco, apparently. Its indistinguishable.
