So glad I upgraded my Vitamix model  and paired it with the new food processor. Excellent quality and a time saver, I love it. I was a bit hesitant to purchase the food processor because of a few reviews stating it did not shred cheese however I found that putting the soft cheese in the freezer 45 minutes before shredding, there was no problem at all. I have no problem shredding, slicing and chopping and clean up is a snap!
