I purchased this to make homemade butter instead of using my stand mixer.  It worked well for that and faster.  I haven't used it for anything else yet but I think it will be fine.  Has lots of power.  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the noise.  This unit is EXTREMELY LOUD.  It's been many years since I had a food processor but my last one was no where near this loud.  If the noise isn't an issue this is a good one and the price is right.
