I bought my food processor a couple of weeks ago, and I am loving it so far. It is extremely sturdy, so much more so than a few cheaper ones that I have had that were short of worthless. This thing does such a fantastic job of mixing, chopping and grating, I wish I had bought it sooner.  It's worth the price. I did struggle to initially put it together, but once I figured it out, it is easy to assemble. Also very easy to clean.
