My first food processor was a Braun and my second food processor was a KitchenAid. This is my third food processor and I am so glad I selected another KitchenAid.  The new features are wonderful:  You lift up to remove the bowl, there is a tidy tool holder that fits into the bowl, the lid is easy to remove and it is stable. The bowl and spindle on my previous KitchenAid cracked after using it regularly for many years.  It has always been one of my go-to appliances for food prep.
