This food processor was gifted to us by my sweetie's parents. The original one they gave us had a design flaw in it rendering it unusable, so we returned it for another of the same model. It's easy to use and easy to clean. The blades are very sharp. We use it almost every day as we cook most meals at home in order to eat plant-based, better quality food. We make almost everything from scratch, and this is a big help.
