Every time when Vitamix comes up with a new product I get really excited because I expect the same perfection that I find in its blenders...
So, I bought the food processor... I put it together, and I noticed that I had difficult time with removing the cover... I really disliked it, I considered it clumsy, I did not even give it a try, and I returned it.
After a few months I bought it again, realizing that I've been unfair, and I was willing to at least give it  a try. Well, yes, the cover is still clumsy in my opinion, but:
--it chops beautifully
--it slices beautifully
--it shreds beautifully
--all the parts are solidly made
--the machine is so powerful and it works like a dream
--there are new attachments available
Therefore, I decided to keep the food processor and in addition to that, I ordered additional attachments.
