I have had a small Ninja that I still love but this is the "cadillac" of all food processors that I have every used.  I am still playing with the IQ features but so far it has surpassed my expectations.  The unit is pretty quite  and it stays in place on my counter so that is a plus for me. The attachments are very sharp so be very careful when it is time to clean up.  Bottom line as far a performance, it rocks!
