[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This processor is a sleek unit. It is easy to use and clean after you use it. Like that the disk is labeled on it as what it does. It has a big feed tube so I'm not spending time cutting the food to fit in it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great addition to my appliances! Useful for many recipes, both savory and sweet! Loved slicing my veggies with it! Grating cheese was a breeze!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a professional cook, I like spending time in the kitchen at home as well. However when my 3 kids come over with all my grandkids I don't want to spend all the time in the kitchen. I love the chopping blade and slicer .cuts down on the prep work. Easy to use and clean. It's a great product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased with this food processor. It's very easy to use. I really like that it has such a large capacity compared to my other processor( B&D ). From the snap on lid to the way the blades fit is different but not a difficult adjustment. My only complaint would be that I am used to locking the bowl onto the base and being able to pick up the entire unit by the handle to store away, and unfortunately this model does not lock onto the base. Nothing major just something I would prefer. I do like that all the blades and attachment fit inside the bowl for storage.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I have ever had a full sized food processor. This Worked well although I have some concerns! I have been able to prep foods in half the time and that is a definite plus. I have been on a mission to use it in a variety of ways. So with that being said..although it is lightweight and easy to use, I found there are some basic flaws. One big concern is that chopped food gets caught in the safety tube and it is almost impossible to get it out. Worried that long term use and the seemingly inability to completely clean this tube could lead to food contamination. The slicer works well...I sliced several things to make soup. I wish the slicer had an adjustable size mechanism. Some vegetables were too thin and fell apart during cooking. Food processed also processes unevenly in that there were always larger chunks in the bottom of the unit. It seemed as though the food in direct contact with the blades processed well but the rest on top and on the bottom did not circulate to process evenly. I found my self turning the unit on and off to manually stir what I was processing and even then was still left with larger chunks in the mix. Lack of circulation and the height of the blade actually made more work and took more time with some things like cabbage for slaw. I do like this processor for basic things however as an avid cook it seemed to have some design flaws that if corrected would make this a must have in the kitchen.
