We have the Cuisinart Elite and love it. It's actually a 12 cup but has a smaller 4 cup working bowl so it is very flexible for larger and smaller tasks. One of the main features that drew us to this model was the sealed buttons. There will always be sticky, greasy fingers and small spills and spatters in the kitchen when you are cooking and it's nice to be able to give the buttons a quick wipedown without worrying about the buttons getting contaminated with food and malfunctioning over time.

Of course we do a lot of chopping, slicing, etc., but we've made salsas, sauces, soups, pumpkin pie filling, and most recently made an excellent homemade hummus. It just does a real good job with anything we throw at it.

i have this one too, the version with three bowls, and for the most part it's a work horse, but i hate that the grating disks are too far away from the bowl and half sliced or grate things slip down the edge and into the bowl. i have to keep stopping and fishing out big pieces.
