(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We bought this unit a few months ago and my wife, my adult son, and I have all used it. We have all had a little nick when cleaning the four blade slicer, so as the manual indicates - be careful. The unit performs well or very well depending on the task. As with all processors I have used, once the food gets too a certain thickness when using the shredding disk it just flys around between the disk and the cover.
