What is the "liquid fill max" (NOT the total bowl capacity) for this food processor? Don't want a mess on the counter when making soup.

On the 14 Cup unit, it's about 10 cups. It only leaks a few drops when I overfill it. Liquids go up into the blade shaft also, so make sure to check that when cleaning.

Liquid fill max is a "fluid" answer. Excuse the pun!! It really depends on the thickness (viscosity) of the fluid. If thin, I would go about 60%; thick 75%. Depending on solids, pulse first and then run. The general rule is that fluid capacity is anout half of solids, so 7 cups would be the benchmark. However, the Elite has a great seal (one of its' features). I usually go with 3/4 and have never had a problem. Hope this helps.

Hmmmmm.... I don't know if I can answer that, completely accurately. About 2/3 full seems about right. I haven't had any huge issues with that, as long as the liquids are relatively cool when you process them, or you start will small pulses.

hello heather, the best solution is a immersion blender. you can puree in seconds and you can look at the puree as you are doing it to see if it is pureed to your desired consistency.less clean up than a food processor or blender. you can puree in the vessel you cooked the vegetable in. do not buy a cheap model. i would suggest a bamix, braun. or kitchenaid.search at amazon under "immersion blender". the kitchenaid with chopper looks good. it is $99. i have not personally used it.the reviews are encouraging. do your homework. read the reviews. make sure the shaft is all stainless. shaft. i have a excellent braun mr5550mbc it retails for $299. ouch! i did not pay that much. i am not sure why the price is so high. you can use it for many healthy snacks for children fruit smoothees etc. wonderful for making soups. i also have a food processor but find the immersion blender a better choice for puree. ace

I haven't tried to make soup yet, but I do use my Blendtech almost daily making smoothies, salad dressings, peanut butter etc... I have not had any problems with the lid. If this is a concern, just hold the lid down while processing. It only takes seconds for this blender to pulverize anything you put in it.

It's 80.1 capacity. I just measured pouring water from a measuring cup into the pitcher. The title is incorrect. It's a great pitcher though!

It has to be more the 8oz - I make a full can of soup in these bowls and that fills it close to the top15oz seems right

I poured a whole bag of food in it & it was only 1/2 full. I returned it bcuz it didnt work properly. Good luck

Frankly, I never thought about water capacity. Just checked and the water level shows 1.7L with various lower measurements too. I don't "do" metrics and just guess when filling - roughly, I'd at least a quart. I seldom fill the whole pot but at least half full for using the time setting for getting up to hot water for tea and not having to wait for a conventional teakettle to boil. Love that feature!

I have not done that yet BUT EVERYTHING I did for our Thanksgiving turned out great. The Food Processor part was GREAT. Sorry I could not answer your question but hope I helped.

I don't know but it is amazing for preparing potato dumplings! I imagine baby food puree would be the same consistency.I have been so pleased but I try not to be too rough on the handle as reviews I read before buying had some difficulty buta little reasonable care and there's no problem. This processor has made food prep more enjoyable since my arthritis makeschopping and dicing a chore. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with mine.

I believe you can make it just fine, I have made up to 4 cups of any given recipe in this food processor and it works out fine. I really like this one, it takes so little space on the counter top that I just leave it out all the time. I've blended soups in it and it does a beautiful job. So I don't think 2 cups of mayo is to much.

My food processor is working fine. so i really cannot answer your question. My suggestion would be to contact the company itself. they may be able to provide you with a replacement or send you free parts.

A "watery gruel" is an entirely appropriate outcome for this machine's "porridge" setting. It's meant for soup. Now the way to create the best damn bowl of McCann's you will ever likely set spoon to is to use the porridge setting but forget the lines. Use 1 part grain to 2½ parts water. Feel free to dump in a handful of plump flame raisins, a pinch of salt, a shake of apple pie seasoning and a dash of vanilla. Mornings will never be the same ...

There is a max capacity line 1 inch below the top of the bowl. The bowl holds 750 ml or approximately 3.25 cups when filled to that mark.

Sorry to hear that.....because I do a lot of 'canning' I can guess that you did NOT leave enough 'head' room or space for the unit to create the pressure it needed to process. Most units require that it be filled not more than 1/2 way.....just like a fryer....you need room for the expansion. Hope it didn't make too much mess in the kitchen and you were able to save the contents (what were you making ?) Mine stopped working after less than a year of use (I used it maybe 5 or 6 times) .....returned it.....however, when it was working, it did great. Not sure I'm going to get another just yet.

I didn't have much luck with mine - it made more of a cucumber slush than slices. I ended up returning it and getting a food processor, which handles that and everything else much nicer.

I found a sticker and I can tell what it says, I hope this can help you, I don't know if is the information that you need: 120Vac 250W Max 60Hz LISTED 9H60 E216756 and about the bowl capacity I just put 3 liters of water and it almost reach the top, I think it's a standard capacity I have made some cakes and the mix fits in the standard cake bowls :)

I have an 8.5" pot. It holds 5 cups of liquid. Makes soup for 1, with some left over; or soup for 2 with none left over.
