Cuisinart Food Processor - 11 Cup Pro Custom DLC-8S Review

I have had the Cuisinart DLC since it was first released into production.  I use it for larger jobs and specific recipes where the amount of chopping, shredding, or slicing is greater than I want to accomplish by hand, or when I do not have the time to perform that amount of chopping, shredding or slicing.  By biggest complaint about the Cuisinart DLC is the amount of counter space it consumes - I leave it under the counter in a cabinet, which makes it less likely to use on a regular, let alone daily, basis.  For larger jobs, such as making a carrot soup where I need to slice 2 onions and 10 carrots, it is the tool of choice.
