I have a food processor from a rival brand and I really love it, so I was interested to see how this compared. I like the large size, as I have a large family. The pieces fit easily together. The blades are sharp and did an excellent job chopping and shredding. Cleanup was a breeze. This comes with a limited one year warranty which was odd to me, as my other came with a lifetime warranty. So far so good but I do prefer my other brand simply because of its shape and esthetic look. This Kitchen Aid has a round base and looks kind of retro in my modern kitchen.
