I used this to make mini meatballs and it was the fastest prep ever.  Onions were chopped so fast there was no time for tears.  This food processor is very easy to use and clean.  I can't wait to try some other things with it.  The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the latches on the cover feel a little flimsy.   Other than that this is a powerhouse that doesn't take up a lot of space.
