This would be perfect if only it also had a slicing/shredding blade. I have a 30 year old processor (different brand) that has a 4 qt bowl with a slicing/shredding blade, a chopping blade and a mixing paddle. The lid is cracked but I make do because I cannot find a replacement for it. I do not want, need, nor do I have room for a larger one. I was so hoping this 5 quart would have the slicing/shredding blade because I would have bought it instantly.
