Gorgeous machine and amazing performance!,
Once again, Cooks Illustrated pointed me toward this kitchen appliance. They did not misguide me. This is a slightly different model than they recommend but I wanted something a little more colorful.
Pros
+ Very powerful and fast. This thing slices an entire potato in less time than it takes to say “potato”. I put one in the shoot and was prepared to stand there for a few minutes as I did with my old Cuisinart but before I could pull my finger from the button I was done.
+ Beautiful. I really love the color on this unit. It’s a lovely deep shade of red that adds a nice splash of vibrancy to the counter. It’s also a nice change from the chrome finish on my Cuisinart that showed every fingerprint or sponge mark.
+ Quiet. For its size and the power I would have assumed that it would be louder. It’s not at all. Granted, it’s a food processor so silence is not one of its virtues, but it is much quieter than my Cuisinart that was half its size.
+ Easy to clean. Everything comes apart easily and there aren’t too many nooks and crannies for food to paste itself into.
Cons
+ Shallow feed tube. The widest part of the feed tube needs to come down pretty low. This means that potatoes need to be cut in half and pieces of cabbage, et cetera will need to be trimmed down a bit. If you are using the narrower tubes, this is less of an issue because the locking mechanism is already engaged.
+ Multiple bowls are nice but don’t expect perfection. If you are shredding something and only that one thing, go ahead and use the full size bowl. The 10 cup bowl will keep food from getting all over the 12-cup portion, but if you are using one of the shredding discs, bits and pieces are likely to end up on the rim and make you want to clean the 12-cup bowl anyway. However, if you are doing a quick chop, the 4 and 10 do a great job of keeping everything inside and not dirtying the larger bowl(s).
+ Liquids. You’ve read it in other reviews I am sure. The center part of the bowls is rather shallow so if you have more than a few cups of pure liquid, it can become a bit of a mess. This also happened on my older Cuisinart so I’ve always just taken it for granted that I can’t put too much liquid in my food processor. However, if this is a big issue for you be aware of the limitation.
+ Storage bin for parts. Eh. This is more of a kinda-con. It wouldn’t stop be from buying it but they could certainly do a better job of designing the box that holds all your discs and blades. It is cumbersome and everything interlocks and stacks on top of other things. To get something out you have to pull too many other things out too. You’ll probably find yourself storing oft used parts somewhere else.
Summary, buy it. It looks great and performs like a dream. It does an amazing job of slicing, shredding, chopping and the pizza dough that comes out of this thing is almost easier than dialing the phone to order out.

|You’ll enjoy this….. review.,
This thing comes with everything you could possibly ever need to process food.
If you are thinking of trying to save some money by buying a cheaper product, remember why you are buying one of these things in the first place…. to make your life easier. This has 3 different size bowls, numerous different blades and slicers, a storage container for all the different pieces and parts, the largest top opening I have found on the market, and check out the color….. It’s Candy Apple RED!!! Sure you could get a white one, or a black one, but trust me when I say this thing is not going to move a lot….. You are going to put it on your counter, and leave it there….. it weighs a ton,(maybe not an actual ton)… but a lot all the same…. I know what you’re thinking… oh… it’s heavy… maybe I want to buy something that’s light weight…. Riiiiight…. This thing is bullet proof. It is almost silent when it is operating…. IT is POWERFUL….. Once again remember why you are considering buying a food processor… to make your life easier….. I agonized over this purchase… I could have spent 50 bucks at Wallyworld and gotten a plain black food processor….. but then I read all the reviews, cheap isn’t better, it’s just cheap…. I don’t want to go through this every couple of years…. I finally came to the conclusion that in food processors you get what you pay for….. What I got was the most powerful, most fully loaded, easiest to use, best reviewed, and easily coolest food processor I saw on the market today….. and that’s saying something, because I studied close to 30 of these things before making my decision….
Go ahead do your research…. that’s why you’re here… and when you’re done…. come back here…….. to thank me…..
