Never had a food processor, because just one more item to store that only had one purpose.  The Bionic Blade Blender is so versatile.  Can use as a blender for drinks, salad dressing, dips and many other uses.  The size is great for smaller portions.  Have not tired any of the recipes, but look good and like the clear instructions.  Like the safety features such as the blade cover.  Being able to cover the USB port keeps the connection clean.  Very portable for trips to the lake where there might not be an electric plug.
