I bought this about 2 months ago, replacing a food processor I have owned for over 20 years, that sadly failed.  Kitchen Aid has an excellent brand name, so I chose the KFP0711.  For the most part this product is adequate, however shredding is completely unacceptable.  I frequently make coleslaw, and use the shredding disk for the cabbage and carrots.  The bowl design is such that the food gets stuck between the feed tube and the main cover, which jams up the works. It also doesn't distribute the food in the bowl evenly, which necessitates frequently stopping to clear the cover and empty the bowl.  I am extremely disappointed with this product.
