I've always wanted a food processor but could never get myself to decide on which one I was going to get. For home cooks that absolutely hate prep work, this is the one you need! It's separate functions and different blades easily cut down my prep time and did everything I needed! It rough chopped my potatoes in mere seconds. The slicing disk easily cut through my peppers and onion for a delicious stir fry. Don't even get me started on the grating disk! I will never buy pre shredded cheese again when I can put a whole block through the shredder disk and have fresh shredded cheese for all my dishes. If you are still trying to decide if you should get one, then this is your sign that the Ninja Professional XL Food Processor is exactly what you need.
