I absolutely love this Kitchenaid food processor. I had one of the older 13 cup models which was hard to line up to get it to work, had too many parts, and boxes to store the blades, and the buttons were hard to push. I got this to replace my old model and immediately tried it out. Wow! I made a salad the first night I had it, then went on to shred cheese and make all sorts of things with it. It does a great job using all the blades and is so easy to use. I leave it on my counter now, and reach for it all the time to chop veggies and shred cheese, and make dough for things I want to bake. I like the disks storage in the machine, and I did not find it hard to distinguish between the blade positions for using the food processor or storing them.
