I love Kitchen aid products..  This product is a bit cumbersome  with more involved cleaning of the parts.   You can chop your food faster with a good knife.  The kitchen aid  attachment pack of the grinder and shredder is easier to use and works better.  Unfortunately I  think twice before I use the  food processor attachment- regarding clean up and  time.  Food gets jammed or clogged in the parts-  A knife is a lot faster.  Sorry.  I really wanted to love this....  but I can live without it.
