Cuisinart DFP-14BCNY Review
The Cuisinart DFP-14BCNY is the benchmark 14-cup food processor: a big bowl, a wide feed tube and a durable motor that handles chopping, slicing, shredding and dough. It is the safe default for families who want one processor to do everything.
Overview
The DFP-14BCNY is Cuisinart’s long-running 14-cup processor and one of the most recommended machines in the category. It ships with an S-blade, a slicing disc and a shredding disc, and its wide feed tube takes whole vegetables. Its reputation rests on simplicity and durability rather than gadgetry.
What stands out
The large bowl and wide feed tube make short work of big prep, from a full board of vegetables to blocks of cheese. The motor is strong enough for pastry and most bread dough, and the design is simple to assemble and clean. Years of positive owner feedback point to real longevity.
Where it falls short
It is bulky to store, the slicing disc is fixed-thickness rather than adjustable, and it is not the cheapest option. There is no nested mini bowl, so very small jobs are less efficient.
Who it is for
Families, batch cooks and anyone who wants one durable processor for everything. If you only mince herbs, a mini is enough; if you want adjustable slicing, look at a Breville.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Cuisinart DFP-14 good for dough?
Yes. Its motor handles pastry and most bread dough in short bursts. For very frequent or large dough batches, a higher-wattage model gives more headroom.
Does the DFP-14 have adjustable slicing?
No, it uses a fixed-thickness slicing disc. If you want to dial slice thickness, a Breville Sous Chef or an adjustable-disc model is a better fit.
