Black and Decker's 3-In-1 Easy Assembly 8-Cup Food Processor fit my needs perfectly.  I made apple muffins and this machine chopped the apples with ease.  In a few seconds I had perfect chopped apples.  The 8 cup bowl is a nice size to work with and I like that it is dishwasher safe.  I have only tried the chop/ puree mode but it also can slice and shred food.  The cord can be easily tucked away into the base as well.  I have always wanted a food processor and I can't wait to use it for other meals. I would recomend this product to anyone who wants to make their life easier in the kitchen.
