I love it  We used the bowl to puree tomatoes with no issue. We have yet to knead some dough, but it’s next on our list, and we think having the bowl will come in handy.  Cleaning the unit didn’t provide any unexpected challenges, pretty easy to clean by hand, but we normally opted to just throw it into the dishwasher.  Having this machine for just under a month, we are still learning of new things to create and experiment with. The noise took a short time to get over, but knowing that there’s power behind the unit, the noise is tolerable - it is a blender after all. Thus far, my family is happy with having this in our kitchen.
