I usually use a food processor that I love using to make my base for my cooking so I needed another one for other food process. I am so happy that I got this one. This one is a 9 cup which is a great size no matter what you are making. It is a simple and easy to use processor. I love that you can even mix and batter. One unique thing that I love is that it has 2 lids. The clear one is easy to put on and it has a latch. The black one you can put it on if you are putting it away with what ever you made. I works great and you can put it in a corner of your counter top. I really recommend it.
