This is my first time owning a food processor so I do not have any point of reference other than this one but I think it is great! It is a good size and does the job well! My only real complaint (and it really isn't a complaint because I knew what it came with before I purchased it)  is that it doesn't have a dough blade, which I would like to have. It slices with ease and purees quickly. I had always assumed all food processors were out of my budget but this one is perfectly priced. I only wish I had found it earlier!
