Got this almost immediately after I got my Vitamix and let me just say I could not be happier. The food processor attachment is basically a food processor that may be a bit on steroids because the blender is so powerful. I have been able to shred veggies, cheese (yes even mozzarella), chop up nuts and all kind of other things you do in a food processor (basically it is the most used thing in my kitchen). I eat a lot of cheese and I need a lot of shredded cheese since I do not buy the store nonsense with saw dust in it. So for soft cheeses just throw them in the freezer for about an hour and you are ready to shred. For hard cheeses just throw directly in the shredder. Everything else is self explanatory I really like the attachment it is extra large when I have to feed the entire family. It is a bit expensive  that's the only downside and there are quirks about cleaning it but a small soft brush should be able to do the job.
