Exceeded my expectations
I was forced to buy a replacement food processor because Cuisinart no longer carried the bowls for my Special Edition food processor. Even though I had two bowls, both had failed. And Cuisinart had no replacement bowls (nor did anyone else). (14 N model). I felt ripped off by a brand I trusted. (customer since 1987 when I owned my DLC-7). A food processor requires a working bowl to engage the safety switch and of course a base. One without the other is useless. I did buy a bowl on a whim...it fit, but it did not actuate the safety mechanism because the plastic pin was to fat to depress the safety switch. I like having two bowls, and if it did not work, I would simply by this model.
I elected to buy refurbished. It arrived looking new and great. I use a food processor regularly, so deprived of one was no fun. I felt that for a small investment, I now have 2 bowls and a working base. Shipping was fast and free.
