I have wanted a KitchenAid food processor for years!! Now that I have one, I know why I wanted one so badly! I absolutely LOATHE chopping. I hate it so much that I will bypass a recipe due to the need to chop. Not anymore!! I can slice, dice, and chop ANYTHING I could possibly need for my favorite recipes! I love all the attachments that come with it and the ease of cleaning. It is very easy to operate, but can be kind of intimidating at first. Once you read the booklet and give it a go, you will not be disappointed! The first thing I used it for was shredding a roast. Within 3-4 seconds, it was PERFECT! I have recommended this to several friends and they have one on order for themselves!
