All 3 pieces are easy to assemble and use. There are only 3 speeds on the base--high, low and pulse which I don't like. That's ok for the juicer, but not so much for the blender and the food processor. In order to chop or shred in the food processor, you need to insert special blades.
I would recommend this to a friend!
