Much improved over my old version of the same thin

I was initially distressed that I had to replace my 25 year old food processor because the plastic parts kept breaking. This one uses the same base and all the same blades, just with a redesigned workbowl and lid that will probably be less prone to breakages. I’ve replaced various plastic parts several times before on my prior model and just decided to stop doing that. But this new one is both quieter and more solid in operation than my old one. So I’m very glad I replaced the whole thing.
The food processor does its job, but the design has changed for the worse. There's no longer a flat work bowl cover (which is the cover I used most of the time). Not only does that make storage much more cumbersome, because the current cover is so big, but it is also much trickier to get everything locked into place to use the appliance. It's very frustrating! If I could have replaced parts on my old processor to keep using it to avoid having to buy this, I would have.
I used it to shred zucchini for its first job. It did well. I had a problem figuring out the safety feature switch, put the storage bowl on backwards and couldn't get it to work. Finally my son figured it out for me.
Great Kitchen Assistant! Just wish the feed tube was a little larger. I make home fries w/onions & bell peppers regularly. So, I'd prefer to insert the entire potato at once instead of having to cut it in half first. Works great for everything else though. I'd recommend it to a friend or family member.
Not only is the processor as good as you can buy from many test sites, but the company that produces it is one of the most outstanding company with there warranties.
