I used all the disks, and blades that came with this machine. I was amazed at the performance. It  also was much easier to clean then my Cuisinart 11 cup food processor. My cuisinart had the main chopping blade recalled in December of 2016, and I filed my claim then.  I was informed  early this month that I will not get the replacement blade until AFTER June 2017, but they cannot give any indication how much after June 2017. So, I bought the Kitchenaid to tide me over. I like the Kitchenaid better. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
