Over time, numerous parts of my Cuisinart Pro 14 weakened and broke, and
the machine was no longer usable. Total replacement for parts ~$125, which
I couldn't easily afford just now. I've kept the motor and may consider
replacement parts someday.

Meanwhile, I asked here for recommendations and opinions, but most units
fell short of the 14-cup capacity I was used to and didn't want to give up,
albeit the brands and quality were all good choices.

I wavered over the choice of the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth which had exactly
the capacity I wanted and fell within my price range at $69.00 with free
shipping.

I'm happy to report that it was a good choice for me. I don't do much
slicing, but I use it frequently for chopping, batters, and pizza dough.
All these tasks it has performed flawlessly. As an experiment I sliced
cucumber, carrot, and tomato. The slices were more even than my Quisinart
produced.

The unit comes with a chopping blade, reversible shredding/thin slicing
blade, and a bonus thick slicing blade.

If you're on a budget, IMHO, this is a good choice.

No, I am not affiliated with Hamilton Beach or its sellers.
