Has anyone found a definitive answer as to the capacity of the food processor?Reviewers say 9 cups is the combined capacity of processor & blender.

I measured the processor bowl capacity. I could pour 9 cups of water and it fills it to the brim. Problem is, it leaks out above the blade section. So while it truly is 9 cups in size, I would probably never try to put more than 6-7 cups in it, less if dealing with liquid. 9 cups is NOT a combined capacity.

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.

I make smoothies every week - a full 64 oz. plus each time - and I set the dial to utilize the "smoothie" function then run it 2 or 3 times (probably overkill on my part!). To date I've experienced zero problems with this machine; no overheating, no stalls. If you DO exceed the blenders capacity to mix evenly, Oster includes a handy "plunger" to free up the mix. Vitamix incorporates a similar tool but you will need to use it regularly if you opt for the $$$ Vitamix. Frankly, the VERSA is, so far, the better blender.

This is just the food processor attachment. I already had the blender with base so wanted something where it could share the base and save space. I'm not home right now but I think it held about 5 cups volume.

Honestly I did not check. I love this blender. I use it 2x a day. My blender has frozen fruit and ice. I love it.

I love my 7 cup food processor. mine works good for a family of 3. If you cook for a family larger than mine on a regular basis maybe consider buying the larger machine. either way I don't think you will be disappointed.

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

the Cusinart site states that it fits the blades from the 7 11 and 14 cup size processors but if you look at the blades for the 9 and the 11 cup models the blade numbers are the same so I would susspect that it would work for your 9 cup one

I'm sorry...I wish I knew...I know it does fit on the 9 cup processor! It's not advertised as fitting on the 9-cup, but it does fit! If you can find a place that takes returns, I'd give it a shot because this is the one I use the most! Thanks.

I honestly do not know because I returned my processor right away as I felt I did not need one that big ( mine was a 12 cup ) and never have bought a different one sorry.

Hmm, I'm not sure, but it's more than big enough to comfortably handle a recent recipe that included 6 eggs, 2 cups of sugar and six cups of flour...with plenty of room to spare. The bowl is surprisingly tough.

Yes, it does have the food processor cup and blade. The only thing negative is that the food processor cup is plastic not glass like the blender so it's not as sturdy. Also, the food processor only has one blade whereas most individual food processors come with several blade attachments so you can slice, shred, chop, etc. All in all it's a good deal and it works well for most of my needs.

We have had ours for over a year. We use it everyday for a blender, food processor or both. It works as good today as the day we took it out of the box.

There is no way the 9 cup model will hold 9 cups of liquid!!! The center post is too low. If you need 9 cups buy the 12 cup model.

Don't know if you have received any feedback re: bread making, but I've got the same question(s). Is the 9 cup model powerful enough and large enough to initially mix up a dough ball? I'm replacing a smaller food processor primarily for that purpose and don't want to find this is the wrong machine after I buy it.

I am sorry but i don't know. I can tell you that it is a great food processor, very solidly built, it weights a ton.

It comes with three single cups with lids, plus an extra lids that has blade for mixing. The large bowl comes with three or four different blades. I love making smoothies and ice cream.

Appears so. On the box it says "Versatile Size holds 7,9,11 and 14-cup food processor discs". This is Cuisinart Model DLC-DH. Hope this helps you.
