I have never owned another food processor to compare to, but I like the overall design of this product. It's nice to have only one motor base to use for both blending and food processing, and the FP attachment stacks up pretty compactly. It's certainly useful for finely chopping things like onion and garlic, and works well for slicing harder vegetables like carrots and radishes. However, I have a hard time getting consistent sized slices with softer vegetables like celery and cabbage. I also tend to get a lot of spatter on the side of the container when slicing softer items. The lid is also a bit difficult to remove, which is a pain as this is something that needs to be done often with a food processor. Overall I'm happy having a food processor and this one is pretty good, but for the money I wonder if a dedicated food processor would work better. Especially for people who have more storage space.
