This food processor has become one of my favorite kitchen appliances. It is really powerful and can grind up just about anything. I love, love, love the slicing and shredding plate. We eat veggies every night and this has really helped cut down my prep time because I can just toss my veggies in with the slicing plate and my veggies are ready to go in an instant. The shredding feature is great too because I shred chicken a lot and now I can just toss it in the food processor instead of tediously shredding it with forks. Such a time saver! You won't regret this purchase!
