This replaced an old and much loved Pro Custom 11 that gave up the ghost after more than a decade of very heavy use. It's very powerful, and all the attachments make food prep a breeze. That the entire bowl is sealed at the bottom is a gift - no more having to hold the blade with one hand to prevent leaks! For jobs that don't require the main bowl, the bowl insert is perfect for whipping up smaller batches. The main blade sits very close to the bottom of the bowl, which ensures that no chunks of unprocessed food are sitting beneath the blade. The dicing kit and the tool case were a nice bonus. If you're looking for a workhorse in your kitchen at a reasonable price, you can't go wrong with this model. Highly recommend!
