Received the food processor as a Christmas gift. I already had an old KitchenAid food processor but I never used it because it was too much work to dig everything out of a cabinet and set it up.  I use the Vitamix food processor at least 2X per week, keeping prepped fresh veggies in the fridge at all times. It makes lunch and dinner prep so much faster and we are eating better as a result.  And it does shred cheese.
