Fantastic Vitamix attachment! It's fast, full of power, quiet and easy to clean! Love the way it stores making all parts to my ascent series attachments easy to get too! I was a Home Economics major and am very comfortable in the kitchen. I've always had a Cuisinart food processor but age/use led to deterioration. A new Cuisinart food processor was NOT my choice because of the light weight, plastic feel of the machine.  I am overjoyed with my Vitamix and the food processor attachment in making my prep time quick, easy and fun!
