This food processor brought a whole new menu to my kitchen. I made the best guacamole and hummus EVER because the processor did all of the work and the spices came through brilliantly in the taste. The only reason I won’t give it 5 stars is because I tried making hash browns first and the blade plates don’t sit high enough to meet the bottom of the tamper tool to shred a potato that is cut into quarters leaving a lot of large pieces to shred or chop by hand. I still recommend it and will stick to using a mandolin for my hash browns.
