This processor is awesome! I had a little trouble getting the lid just right so it would operate but I’m getting the hang of it. I’ve never really use food processors much but I recently started making my dogs’ food. This thing cuts so much time out of that task! A pound of baby carrots and pound and a half of sweet potatoes is no problem for this little machine! It’s very powerful! I’m so glad I made this purchase and love the boysenberry color! It matches my hand mixer.
