I am very happy to have received this medium sized food processor as a gift.  The motor is strong and chops very efficiently.  Easy to use, once you can figure out how to line up the bowl, lid and the slicer.  The documentation is pretty good.  And there are videos.  It does a great job slicing and grating veggies.  Haven't tried hard cheeses yet.   This is a well made device and the motor is heavy and feels like it will last a long time.   The blades are very sharp and it's easy to nick a finger or your hand, so be careful (of course it says that all over the place, but man, they are sharp!).   Enjoy!
