Purchased for my partner's birthday to complete our Vitamix blender. We've not been disappointed - cuts down on our prep time with the slicers, and the food processor makes creating our homemade hummus a breeze. I know a lot or reviews online say people have been disappointed because it didn't fit their machine; please double check this - when I was about to order ours, I called in with my model (Ascent series) to confirm. Don't forget to do this - it could save you from being disappointed. We're looking forward to years of wonderful recipes with our new food processor!
