When I bought this I was looking for something to help with chopping and slicing for canning purposes.  Now that I have tried to use it, I wish I hadn’t bought it.  The feed tube is small!  I can even put a pickle cucumber in it because it isn’t a round feed tube.  You have to cut everything down to fit. I tried shredding cheese and it would leave cheese sticking on top of the blade and in the lid.  Which is hard to clean the small grooves on the lid.  I also can’t find any other attachments to use on it.  What you get with it is all you can get.  Kitchen aid needs to do better.  I’m going to buy a different brand so I can get the attachments that I need.
