14-Cup Household Bowl

The Goldilocks size. Large enough for holiday shreds; not a 16-cup Breville that owns the whole counter.

720W + 5-Year Motor Warranty

Cuisinart's remaining argument against cheaper 450W bowls. Limited 3-year on the unit.

Two Levers, Not a Screen

On and Off/Pulse. You are paying for the bowl and the blade, not presets.
