I recently purchased the Cuisinart DLC5 food processor at an after X-mas sale. It was a lower price than other food processors. We have not have any problems with it yet. It is easy to use and not too difficult to clean. I would recommend this food processor to anyone, especially people who dont want to pay $200-300. The only drawback is it isnt as large as some of the food processors, but it will get most jobs done.
