This is my first food processor and I'm quite impressed. What a time saver instead of all the chopping I normally do. It was easy to assemble and I love how it suctions to the top of the counter. I was so pleased with how well it blended my salad and was impressed how simple it was to use. It can do so much more than just blend. It can chop, puree, slice and shred. It comes with an easy to read and understand manual that has everything you need to know with the food processor and has many recipes to try with the food processor. My goal is to try them all. I definitely would recommend adding this food processor to your home.
