Unfortunately this unit is very, very heavy. Plus there are not enough progressing discs for slicing and dicing. Overall this food processor is just okay.
I almost returned this the first time I tried to use it. It is very complicated to use - you have to remove the tube piece before you can take the top off the workbowl. The mechanism inside the top through which you must insert the tube fixture is flimsy, and probably won't last the life of the machine, I suspect.
That said, it does do a great job of chopping, grating, slicing in a few seconds, and I appreciate the larger workbowl.
It's difficult to clean, though.
At some point, the complications and extra steps required make the "convenience" not worth the extra effort required.
Love it! The is replaced my model that was about 40 years old!!! The only thing wrong with the old one was the bowl was cracked. It was so old there was not a replacement available. I'll be pretty old when this one gets to be 40, but I'm sure it will still be going.
Great at Grating This food processor is excellent and functions exactly as described. The unpacking directions were superb and demonstrated the company's goal of safety for the consumer. Everything stores inside the appliance. It is heavy but worth the lifting.
The chute is way too short! They put a safety on the larger chute to keep someone from getting their hand in it. But it is so short you have to precut everything into small chunks to be able to get the switch to set. Really missed the mark. This is probably going back!
