I like to cook in bulk an this really helps with meal prep. The price reflects he quality which is great. This model was a compromise between price and size. I wanted this thing's larger relative but at the time it was out of my price range and the size of my apartment. I still lab to buy the larger version. I prefer batch cooking more than two recipes at a time. The amoun of liquid volume the pitcher can hold was a let down but this is my first food processor so I chalk it to I experience.
