So far so good!  Only used it once, but it worked nicely.  The plastic seems thin/light, but it held up to a block of cheese I rammed down its hole.  I saw reviews about someone melting one in the dishwasher so I kept to the top rack (as the directions state).  Cholesterol went up, but probably can't blame that on maker.  Then I remembered I live in California and can sue anyone for anything!  Good times.  I approve this food processor and message.
