Where the two actually differ on the specs we track (6 of 7). Matching specs are omitted.
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Two whitelisted hands-on testers (Tom's Guide, Reviewed/USA Today) rate the Custom 14 (DFP-14BCNY) a top-tier food processor. Both praise its powerful 720W motor, quiet running, and even chopping and slicing, while flagging its weight. Reviewed also singled out mediocre cheese shredding, whereas Tom's Guide found shredding fast and even. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)
Praised: Powerful 720W motor handles dough and tough ingredients with ease; Quiet operation (Tom's Guide measured 65.2 dBA, quietest it tested); Even, clean chopping and slicing performance.
Flagged: Heavy and cumbersome to move (18-20 lb); Mediocre, uneven cheese shredding; Only one power setting / limited attachments.
