[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has come in handy since I've been cooking more at home. It quickly prepares my veggies for everything. Makes whipped desert toppings in a flash and saves my arm. Easy clean up with open spaces. Light enough to move around easily too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since we have stay at home orders I have really put my processor to great use. I had odd and ends of different breads . I was amazed at how easy it was to make bread crumbs. I also used it to chop peppers and onions to freeze. I am so pleased at how easy it is to use and the end results.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is so easy to use. Chops up food really quickly. You can put everything into the dishwasher.Keeps mess to a minimum.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this food processor! I never had one before because they looked complicated. This one I used to make slaw, slice pepper and carrots with ease. You just snap it together. ( no lining up notches and twisting ) just pop in blade, snap on lid, and fill the safety chute. ( won't operate unless you have lid on) Buy one for yourself or that special someone as a gift. Easy clean up and dishwasher safe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used to chopped the nuts I use for my holiday baking did a great job in less time than my previous method. In general happy with all of the application I've tried it on so far.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Food Processor Model # 70723, Series B2891CE. I mention this because there are similar looking but different models of this machine, some of which have conflicting recommendations and cautions from users, which I will address first.
One common note is that one is not supposed to process meat in this machine. However, the user manual (p. 8) lists that foods that can be chopped, a list that includes meats. More significantly, there are reviews that claim openings or rivets in the chopping blades are patent, i.e., foods/fluids are able to enter the housing that supports the chopping blades. I find no such openings or faulty rivets in the blade that accompanied my machine. The opposing blades are separated by a solid plastic ring with the rivets passing through the upper blade, plastic ring, and lower blade; there are no holes or channels through which foods can enter and become trapped - and putrefy. Yet reviews boldly proclaim the unit to be a health hazard, claims that are not supported by the design of the blade. Finally, some complain that foods are unevenly chopped. I followed the recommended amounts to be processed as listed in the user manual (p. 8) and did not experience uneven processing.
Since I received this machine two weeks ago, I have had the opportunity to process a variety of foods including soft cheese (I cube processed cheeses and put them in the freezer for 20-30 minutes), chilled hard cheeses (e.g. Swiss, Parmesan); veggies - sliced and grated (the machine uses one blade for both: slice one side, turn the blade over for grating - eliminating a bulky pair of dedicated blades). I have used the chopping blade: to shred/chop meats for hash, burgers, meat sauces; to puree tomatoes for marinara; to chop onions and peppers; to make fresh and dried breadcrumbs; and to make potato salad and coleslaw dressing. So far, everything I have processed has achieved my desired outcome.
Clean up is simple: top shelf dishwasher BUT NO SANI WASH, whose 155+ F-degree temps could deform/crack the plastic pieces. To be on the safe side, I hand wash most plastic/food storage containers.
Finally, the unit appears to be well made, easy to assemble and use, has ample built in safety features, and is exceptionally light, compared to the well-known processor that I am replacing and at a fraction of the cost. The height (fully assembled) is 15.75 inches. One other thing: it is nice looking (so says my feminine side).
Based on my usage to date, I highly recommend this processor.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this processor very much. It is easy to put together for different blades and easy to clean. It also does an extremely good job of various food processor applications.
