Source: amazon.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by wellbots.com. Re-fetch verification. The Amazon source URL (dp/B00WA4UI42) returned only a bot-protection shell (163 chars, "Continue shopping" / "Conditions of Use"), containing no listing data — so NONE of the specs previously attributed verbatim to Amazon could be confirmed. Those unverifiable values were nulled: blades_discs_included (the "1mm to 6mm" adjustable slicing disc, "reversible shredding disc (fine/medium)", "large and small stainless steel chopping/mixing blades with BladeLock System"), feed_tube_type ("Cuisinart Supreme wide-mouth feed tube"), and speed_settings ("On/Off/Pulse electronic touchpad"). All surviving values were verified verbatim against the Wellbots corroboration page for this exact model (title "Cuisinart FP-12DCN Elite Collection 2.0 12-Cup Food Processor, Die Cast", SKU FP-12DCN, UPC 00753956505876): "12-cup capacity" → bowl_capacity_cups=12; "1000-watts motor" / "Wattage: 1000W" → motor_watts=1000; "All Removable Parts are Dishwasher Safe" → dishwasher_safe=true; "3-Year Limited Manufacturer Warranty" → warranty_years=3. Wellbots also carried the only price ("Sale price $279.99", "Regular price $360.00", "Sold out"), supporting priceUsd=279.99. Wellbots does mention an "adjustable slicing disk", a "shredding disc", a "Dough Blade" and an "Ultra-Wide Feeding Tube"/"wide mouth", but not the specific detailed values as written, so those spec strings stay nulled rather than partially reconstructed. releaseDate and release left null (no launch year on any fetched page). Exact model match confirmed (not a sibling/capacity variant); 4 of 7 populated spec keys survived (majority) → publish=true.
