The kitchen aid food processor worked amazing for making my homemade salsa. Has great capacity so I am able to make enough in one batch to jar. It was easy to clean and store away with the blade holder to keep everything together. It comes with several different blade options such as a slicer, dough blade, multipurpose blade, and shredder. Several different speed options as well. The sound is not overpowering, it's actually very quiet.
