This thing is going back to the store! The blade is too far from the chute, allowing food to be pulled into the area above the blade causing jams and a mess. The fit between the blade and the shaft is sloppy allowing the blade to rock. Not good when spinning as the cut becomes uneven and allows even more room between the blade and the chute. The blade is to be flipped for either slicing or shredding. The letters on the blade are barely readable, although the sides are self-explanatory. The shredding edges on our model were not stamped properly so as to have a clean edge for cutting.
Don't waste your time! Spend a little more and have less trouble.

Like the previous review, the blade for shredding and chopping is too low allowing jams to occur. Also another problem I have is that it tends to be too hard to open the cover once I've used it. If you're on a very limited budget like me, it does the job, however I plan to replace this with a more expensive model at some point.

The motor is too weak to shred cheese without the blade bouncing around and opening the lid from the base. After contacting the company, I was sent another one with the same problem. Do not buy this item. Spend a little more money for another processor. It could not be as bad as this one.

I have had this processor for about four years without complaint, until the handle cracked on the bowl, and the lid would no longer function correctly. The replacement bowl is about $27 with shipping. Planned obsolescence goes along with the purchase. For the money... and the name of Black and Decker, this product has become a disappointment.

We have had this processor for 2 years. The plastic container started breaking within a few months and now the whole bottom is broken. It does chop cookies, bread, frozen fruit with no problems.
