I would just get the 11 cup at Costco--if anything goes wrong Costco will replace it.

thanks, I saw that Costco has a 11 cup Cusinart on sale this weekend but I am on the fence bc of the reviews it got. I primarily use my fp for chopping and slicing.

Yup. That is what i use it for as well. For heavy duty puree I use my work horse the Vitamix. FPs made now a days are nothing like our mother's. I would not use them for hummus or large batches of dough. Hower it is perfectly capable of shredding and slicing with efficiency.

I have the Giada one from Target and think it is great.

mine has died and in need of a new one. I cannot find one that has consistent positive reviews. If you like yours, please share what you own. TIA!
