I am amazed how powerful this ninja professional food processor works. It can chop, slice and shred. It's my first that I own and really love how it works and gets it done quick. The auto iQ programs are great and easy to use. You can also make dough in seconds. The processor bowl makes up to 9 cups which is great enough for the whole family.  The machine has some small rubber auctions to keep the base in place. It's easy to clean up the bowl and blades. You will this machine it will serve all your needs.
