The unit does cut and grate, but you better have a catching container that wraps around the unit to catch the product as it comes shooting out. Your catching container will hold as much as what drops short on the counter, the exit spout is enclosed on only 3 sides, so a lot falls short of the catching container. Cleaning the inside of the cover presented a problem, crevices inside the cover catch cheese and soft products, you must use a long bristle brush or THIN FLAT toothpick to remove it. This unit is loud. Does B&D equate noise with power? I should have left this one on the store shelf, cause it quickly found its way into the recycle bin curbside. I would rate this less than 1 star.

I've owned Black and Decker's predecessor to this unit - the ShortCut - for about 25 years. It was a well designed Mini food processor. So I had high hopes for the Black & Decker MFP200 MiniPro Plus Food Processor. What a disappointment!

The problem is slicing. The slicing disk *MUST* be used in conjunction with a "redirection disk" that redirects whatever your slicing out the "ejection chute". Well this chute ejects alrighty - all over the kitchen.

It goes back to Target tomorrow. And to the design folks over at B & D: you should really test out your designs before going to production with them.

Do yourself a *HUGE* favor and pass on this unit.

I have to go now; I have mushroom slices all over my kitchen.

The opening on this unit is not even large enough to slice a pepperoni stick. It also has problems with foods not properly dropping from the chute but flying all over instead.

The chopper/grinder works very well -- but the the shredder/grater with chute is just horrible. As the other reviewer said, the grated food sprays out all over the work surface instead of into whatever container you innocently intended.

I'm very disappointed in this design -- I had another B&D small food processor with a grater/shredder WITHOUT the chute which lasted for nearly 14 years. When that finally gave up the ghost about 2 months ago I bought this one, and I'm sorry I did.

I guess it's back to hand-grating cheese again and scraping my knuckles . . .

I use this mainly to grind pulses and veggies and it does a great job. But it is extremely noisy and the grater and other chopper attachments are not impressive. Food flies out as said in the other reviews and it is difficult to clean, unless one is using it for something really dry in which case, just a rinse will do. If one is okay with noise(a lot of that), then this is good to buy. Else, look for options. I am looking too...

I bought one of these to make Bagna Cauda, and upon loading the necessary ingredients and depressing the "high" button, it sparked and died. Well, ok, I guess it only *half* died, as the "pulse" button would still work, if I leaned on it with my entire weight, but both the "high" and "low" switch settings did nothing. So I'm thinking next time I'll spend a little more; meanwhile, this little guy goes back.

This product was purchased to replace the broken chopper/shredder by Black & Decker that cracked after several years. I found the new product to be average as compared to the earlier version. Cheese tends to stop the shredding blade entirely. Otherwise the product works if you have a small size bowl to put under the dispensing spout. Black and Decker should heed the old adage; 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

This is my first food processor I have ever bought, and although it works fairly well, there are some design flaws. The first is that it is too small of a capacity to do much of anything. I have to do about 4-5 "batches" to cut up 1 lb. of mozzarella cheese. I did however successfully make guacamole, but it would not process just one avocado to a smoother consistency. I had to have at least 2 in there, which I was surprised it fit.

The other flaws have to do the the continuous feed chute and that whole attachment. The chute is poorly designed, so that food will spill out of the chute so that it cannot fall into your work bowl. The chute starts directly on the edge of the processor cup, instead of having a lip so everything will go into your bowl. I tried grating a carrot this way and I got most of it in the bowl, but a lot of it went onto the base of the processor because you can't move the bowl any closer because of the design of the base/chute dimensions relation to each other. it just won't work.

The other flaw, although I suppose it has to do with the small size is that the continuous feed chute is way too small the really be useful for anything. It wouldn't even fit a whole carrot. I had to cut them at least in half, and even then, I could only feed them so far before they got stuck the wrong way in between the slicing disk and the lid.

Overall it does what it needs to do, but I wouldn't let the continuous flow be a selling point for this, because its pretty much useless. But for a very small unit, its not too bad. I will be looking for a larger one though.

This item is very poorly designed for shredding cheese. This was the primary reason I bought it. The cheese does not flow out of the spout, it balls up inside. Would not recommend this product to anyone.

A great product. Much improved since I purchased a similar Black & Decker Mini Food Processor over 25 years ago. A small plastic part failed after 25 years of heavy use making homemade baby food for two grown children now in their mid-20's, ground spices, fresh shredded/ground Parmesan, Mozzarella and Romano Cheese (and others also), and many other uses. Highly recommended! Be careful when washing and handling the blades they are very sharp!
