I am a loyal KitchenAid user, so I expected the food processor to be high quality, but it actually exceeded my expectations. The quality was evident from the moment I opened the lid. The latch is metal and not a cheap piece of plastic that will break off. All of the attachments attach to a caddy that fits inside the container for easy storage. That is very well designed.  The food processor comes with traditional blades for chopping and pureeing, as well as attachments for slicing, shredding, and kneeding. I appreciate how much time it saves me, whether chopping the trinity for jambalaya, shredding cabbage for cole slaw, slicing potatoes for chips, or putting together a dough for pizza. I can't believe I went so long without a food processor.
