The catch
Cuisinart Core Custom 10 Cup Food Processor
Batch room falls short of the FP-130 and other large processors.
Side by side
Cuisinart FP-110 vs FP-130: FP130 brings batch and feed room, and FP110 suits a smaller kitchen
Quick verdict
FP-110AG fits an everyday kitchen more easily and still gives you adjustable slicing. The extra space FP-130 takes pays off in larger batches, a larger pusher path and its dedicated Mix control.
