This is a nice little gadget.  It has so many helpful attachments.  I started by shredding zucchini for a pie.  It took a few minutes to figure out that you should press two buttons (for safety) to get it to turn on.  It was a breeze after that.  I am particularly anxious to try the beater for mashed potatoes.   We also make a lot of smoothies so this will be helpful with all the other attachments.  The only negative thing I can think of is the instructions had too many illustrations and were hard to follow.   All in all it’s great and I love it.
