The unit has performed flawlessly, is sturdy, relatively easy to clean ... pretty much covers most preparations for two person household without a hitch.
I love the functionality of this, much better than the Cuisinart in many ways. But the bowl has broken in a few places, as well as the plunger, and replacements are not forthcoming. They really really need to change a few things, and it would be perfect. If this becomes unusable, I'll reluctantly go back to the Cuisinart because things don't break.
My husband bought this for me for Christmas and I love it but I was so disappointed that interchangeable blades are not offered! When I reviewed a video tutorial, it showed a blade for french fries but my excitement balloon was deflated.
The only problem with my Sous Chef 12 is that it is super powerful and fast, thus I can only use it for a very short duration before what I am doing is accomplished. Best food processor I have ever had.
This processor works really well. The only draw back is that the plastic bin began to slowly break when I would try to lock it. I wasn’t rough with it either. Now it doesn’t lock but it still works as long as I turn it and keep it in place when I turn it on.
