Made hummus and it turned out great.  Excellent machine and the price couldn't be beat.  Would be perfect if you could store the extra blades in the bowl.  However, it would probably be more expensive.  Also, would have liked it to be available in white.   But, I simply could not afford to pay $100 or more for a food processor, especially since I will only use it ocassionally.  I would definitely recommend this food processor.
