I tried Ninjas Professional Plus Food Processor recently and was pretty impressed on the power. We tried a few different recipes from the recipe book it came with.  Some of the recipes were great, a few could use a little tweaking. I loved how you can just dump in the ingredients,  hit a button, and it will automatically stop. The chopping and slicing functions work great. I love the locking lid, and suction cups on the base. Both great safety features. Clean up was a wiz, I just added a little hot water and dish soap, turned it on and it was basically self cleaning. My only complaint is that it is not recommended to crush ice, and there is not an option to purchase a blender top. Although my daughter has put in frozen fruit and yogurt to make smoothies.  Just took a few tries to get the consistancy right. Overall it's a great product.
