I purchased this attachment because my regular food processor finally quit working after many years of use.  I did not realize at the time I purchased it that there was no bowl to process food in like a stand-alone food processor has -- to me this is a VERY bad design flaw. Because sliced, diced, etc food passes straight through you have to have something below to catch the food. The problem this causes is that processed food gets all over my cabinet and floor. I ended up having to purchase a stand alone food processor and completely wasted my money on this attachment.  Do not purchase this unless all you want to do is slice and dice -- it's a very expensive slicer and diver -- save your money!!
