*****
I have never had a food processor before, thinking that they take too much time for the effort involved in using them. Nevertheless, I purchased my Cuisinart 14-cup brushed chrome model DFP-14BC based on recommendations from Amazon, and LOVE it!
It is very, very easy to use. It comes with a DVD which I watched and replayed pertinent sections to make sure that I understood how to use it. There are also recipes on the DVD, but I was watching it just to figure out how to use the appliance and how not to hurt myself.
I like the locking mechanism feature. I have used my Cuisinart 14-cup brushed chrome model DFP-14BC about 10 times. Sometimes when I'd go to use it, it would not engage or turn on---this was because I had done something wrong or unsafe and I was GLAD that it didn't work. I am getting the hang of it and am very glad that it has the level of safety that it does.
I debated between buying this model or an inexpensive ($50 or so) model. I am glad that I purchased the Cuisinart DFP-14BC because it is easy to learn to use, easy to use, easy to clean, and I know that I will have it for a while, as opposed to an inexpensive model that would perform in a limited fashion and then be discarded in a few years.
It looks beautiful on my countertop when I'm not using it. I bought a wicker basket that I keep the attachments in out-of-sight so that the appliance stands on its own as a permanent fixture in my kitchen. It is beautiful, quiet, easy to use, and great for a beginner like me. I am quite pleased with this purchase!

Description of Cuisinart DFP-14 Custom 14-Cup Food Processor, WhiteFor serious cooks who love to entertain or cook for parties and family gatherings, this is the ultimate Food Processor. The 14-cup capacity lets you prep complete amounts rather than adding in portions. It includes large and small feed tubes, both flexible. And it comes with a stainless steel chopping blade, medium shredding disc, standard slicing disc, dough blade and a spatula. The 720 watts and two speeds offer the versatility you need for preparing any meal or working any dough, knead up to 3 pounds of dough in less than two minutes! Workbowl is shatterproof, heat and cold resistant. As a bonus extra, it also comes with a How To Video. With its massive 14-cup capacity, this is the food processor for cooks with big projects (or big families!). Large enough to knead dough for two good-sized loaves, the processor features an oversized (5-by-3-inch oval) feed tube, which allows slicing and shredding of whole fruits and veggies, as well as a smaller feed tube. The controls are completely intuitive, with "on" and "off/pulse" buttons that can easily be wiped clean. The motor is remarkably quiet--although this is a food processor, so don't expect the sound of butterflies--and powerful enough to manage batches of heavy dough. The processor includes three stainless-steel discs--one for slicing, one for chopping/mixing, and one for shredding. The work bowl is made of Lexan, known for its durability and resistance to both heat and cold. And the real treat? All pieces but the base can be put in the dishwasher--and the base is easy to sponge clean. The processor includes extensive instructions, a recipe book, a video, a custom spatula, a five-year warranty against motor defects, and a three-year warranty against other defects. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
