What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy: it "aced our chopping, slicing, and shredding tests" and, unlike the 14-cup, handled a single batch of mayonnaise. It has a smaller motor (625 vs 720 watts) and bowl, and the attached feed-tube pusher made it "slightly harder to clean and a little fussier to use."
