Who can live without a food processor? I can not.  My old processor died earlier this year and was limping by without one and not succeeding.   I use a processor from grinding meat, shredding garden veggies and cheese to making protein shakes and this machine rivals and exceeds all others I have used in the past.  It came with everything I needed to get all my kitchen jobs done quickly and it is easy to clean.  If all of the features like the preset programming, dough feature and powerful motor is not enough to make you buy the Ninja Professional Plus then the sleek, under counter stainless steel appearance will seal the deal.
