A genuinely heavy duty processor for large batches, though the recurring bowl lock pin failures and one serious safety report are worth weighing against its capacity and five year motor warranty.

Overview
The Cuisinart DFP-14BCNYAMZ is a 720 watt, 14 cup food processor with a Lexan work bowl, stainless slicing and shredding discs, and a chopping blade. It targets home cooks who need to move from slicing vegetables to chopping meat in one large capacity machine.
Cuisinart has kept this model close to its older, simpler design rather than loading it with digital presets, and long time owners of the brand's smaller processors describe it as a clear step up in capacity and toughness. The safety interlock that stops the motor unless the feed tube lid is engaged draws mixed reactions: most reviewers accept it as expected, but one reported the unit powering on with the lid off and catching fire, and a separate group reports the bowl locking pin failing within weeks.
- 720 watt motor, 14 cup Lexan work bowl
- Stainless slicing disc, shredding disc, and chopping blade included
- Extra large feed tube with small and large pushers
- Dishwasher safe parts, five year motor warranty
Who it's for
Suited to cooks who batch prep, from pie dough to pureed dog food, and want a bowl large enough to skip a second machine. Less ideal for anyone who prioritizes hand washing convenience, since the feed tube channels are reported as awkward to dry.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who move up from Cuisinart's smaller processors describe this as a clear improvement in capacity and toughness, citing pie dough, pecans, and pureed vegetables handled with ease. The most serious complaint is a bowl locking pin some report failing within the first weeks, along with one account of the unit powering on with the lid off. Several also note the feed tube channels are fiddly to hand wash.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Handles large batch processing without straining
- Back hinged lid latch beats front loading designs
- Five year motor warranty backs the build
- Bowl locking pin fails within weeks for some
- Feed tube interlock blocks large whole items
- Narrow feed channels are tedious to hand wash
Performance notes
The 720 watt motor handles dense loads, from whole pecans diced in seconds to shredded chicken and pureed vegetables, with reviewers rating it well above smaller 9 cup Cuisinart models they previously owned. The extra large feed tube and dual pushers accept whole or halved produce, though the bowl will not run unless the feed cup is fully seated, which some found limits processing larger whole items. Cleanup is straightforward for dishwasher owners, but hand washing the narrow feed channels is reported as tedious.
