nEVER HAVING HAD A FOOD PROCESSOR, I WAS AMAZED AT HOW IT REALLY (REALLY)  GROUND UP THE FOOD I NEEDED AT A CERTAIN CONSISTANCY. ALSO, MY NOT VERY TECHNICAL, WAS FOUND I COULD ASSEMBLE AND DIS-ASSEMBLE IT QUITE EASILY (WITH NO DANGER TO MY HANDS!). IT IS, IN  ADDITION, SO EASILY WASHED AND RINSED FOR ANOTHER USE. I COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASE THAN WITH MY 8-CUP FOOD PROCESSOR. THANK YOU, WAYFAIR, FOR COMING THROUGH YET ONCE MORE.
