my wife and I purchased our new food processor just over a month ago. This thing is amazing. We love how you can adjust the thickness of the slicing blade. It operates so quietly and does not strain to chop up anything. We freeze dry,can and preserve  food so it gets used often. We are considering buying a second bowl and lid just so we can keep going without stopping to rinse the bowl. We also love the many accessories like the bowl reducer and the chute reducer for smaller loads as well as the blade holding case. This was a great purchase.
