I would not recommend this to anyone. The blender part works great and has for more than a year. However, the so called Precision Processor Bowl has a lid that needs to line up exactly with the pointer on the handle. That is the first problem. the other problem is that Lid has a release button on top that fails so often that we are on the third Bowl. If you ask why the third, because the first one ended with the screws at the bottom breaking. we thought it happens with use, so bought a replacement for more than half the cost of the complete unit. Got to a point where the button would continuously release and the only way to use it would be to hold the Lid while using it. Against my wife's objections, I decided to replace the bowl portion and now a few months later, it is doing exactly the same thing. Spend a little more money and buy something more reliable.
