Is this model the same as or different from cuisinart dfp-14bcn (no y at end of the model number)?

model number DFP-14BCN has recalled riveted blades. The food processor base shows DFP-14BCN but they added a Y to the box so that they could sell it as DFP-14BCNY. This is false advertising.

this is the model highest rated by ci and atk. so is anyone else ready to rant about the safety feature getting all gross with food? true or false?

I don't get it. We love this food processor but can't stand to wash it. Would not put it in the dishwasher. Everything gets stuck in the top and in the mechanism for the top. And it's clear plastic so you can see all the food caught in there, but there is no way to get it out. We can't figure out how it gets in there in the first place. We use the machine as directed. We wash it immediately after use every single time. I try to use the spray at the sink to get the debris out, doesn't help. Tried soaking it. Tried just at least spraying vinegar inside it to prevent bacteria from building up. We have only had it 5 years and have wanted to replace the bowl and top and Cuisinart is out of stock. And I saw them on sale on Amazon for $45. for just the bowl. And the food processor has gone up in price by $50. since we bought it in 2015. So, I am now actively looking for a replacement for this machine, even though it's still working fine. I can't deal with the clean up any more. Or with what I consider a health hazard having all that debris in there fermenting.

Anyone know the difference between the dlc-10s and the newer dlc-10sy model?

Yes, the 10SY does not have the riveted blade that was recalled from the 10S (and others) back in December 2016.

How thin does cabbage come

Has anyone used the 2mm blade (sold separately) to slice cabbage for coleslaw? Not sure if the included 4mm slicing blade is the only size I'll need. Thanks
