I Received this from Hamilton Beach to try and so happy with this one! Besides being a beautiful machine it has so many options with the three blades included and large and small choices on the slicing blades. The instructions included in the booklet are clear and easy to understand. Everything was packed very well and it is so easy to use. The first day I received this I made pesto and the consistency was perfect. I also made salsa which was so easy and quick. Love slicing potatoes being they come out perfectly sliced. I found cleaning the machine wasn't difficult at all. Looks great on my counter and doesn't take up alot of room. Very happy with this food processor by Hamilton Beach.
