I am sooo happy I made this investment. The equipment isn't made with flimsy material like other brands. I thought it might be too large capacity for me and my husband, but I find it's just the right size (I also bought the smaller bowl that fits inside). I don't use it everyday, but at least 1x/week. The shredding disks do the job on cheese and vegetables, and I regulary make pie dough. Easy to clean (I handwash).
