I feel like a professional cook when using this processor. It’s heavy duty and the craftsmanship is of the caliber that KitchenAid is known for. What I like most about it is that it’s super easy to operate and clean. Another great feature is that many of the attachments can be stored in the work bowl, which saves space and reduces the chances of pieces getting lost. I have used the processor to shred vegetables, such as carrots for coleslaw, and chop nuts for making chocolate candy, etc., and am very impressed by it. It is quick and powerful, without being too loud. My confidence in cooking has skyrocketed ever since I started using it and I am looking forward to using it to experiment with many new recipes. I highly recommend adding this processor to your kitchen. It will save you a lot of time and allow you to cook and prepare foods like a pro.
