I was able to donate my old food processor because of the space saving ability. I have the food processor attachment, which makes it a fantastic space saver for me. It works better than the three other appliances I got rid of, saves space, and is really versatile. With the Vitamix blender, what you make is limited by what you can imagine. The recipes on the web site are great, and 99% of them are great. All in all a great product.
