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.

The six cup and 12 cup are made of the same thing. Only difference is size. Love my 6 cup.

I have never used the Cuisinart but according to on-line ratings, Breville is a little better. It is a very good toaster and warmer, baking tends to result in bottom burning a bit.

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

I have no idea as I don't know anything about the Kitchen Aid Food Processor or accessories. So sorry I could not help!

I sold mine and bought a Keurig so I don't know. You could probably find the info on their website. Having owned both, I would recommend the Keurig Mini. Same size but makes better coffee by far. Huge difference. That's why I sold my Cuisinart.

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 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.

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other or the price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machine to freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.

I have the 12 cup Cuisinart food processor, so I'm not sure if this would fit the 11 cup. It is a great product and I would give it a try. You can always return it if it does not fit your blades.

I have the 11 cup version. You need to check the accessory list for your processor model on Cuisinart's website to determine whether the DLC-842TX 2 mm Thin Slicing Disc is on the list.

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.

7 cup machine has limited function compared to 9 cup machine. I don't remember the exact differences - maybe shredding and julienning(?).

I did not like it a bit and the motor died after about 4 uses because I assumed since it was a 14 cup processor it would handle that much, however it struggled with 10 cups. I got a Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor and am very pleased with it.

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