I am still ****ed at Cusinart for not backing their product - On my 11 cup
processor the plastic shaft that covers the motor shaft split in 2. - their
answer, "buy a new one your model is too old." So much for the motor
lifetime guarantee.

I guess the logic is the shaft is not part of the motor.

Now I sit with a bunch of useless blades.
