Product Description

Just how powerful is the Power Pro Wide-Mouth Food Processor? So powerful, that we had to design special heavy-duty suction cup feet to keep it in place while it slices, chops, shreds, grates and purees whole apples, potatoes, cucumbers, onions, blocks of cheese or any other whole foods with ease. With a fierce, 500-watt motor and tons of torque working in concert under its sleek and sturdy exterior, this is one heavy-duty piece of machinery that performs as great as it looks.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy! It sucks!, January 10, 2010

I bought this for myself for Christmas. Why this one? Honestly, I really needed a new one to replace the great $3 Braun I had gotten from a yard sale- the bowl was cracked and no replacement parts are available anymore. So $39 for a 10-cup, sure! WOW! Where should I start...
1. the bottom has suction cups; not helpful at all.
2. doesn't Black & Decker deal in power tools? Yeah, it was that loud!
3. The wide-mouth feature includes a regular sized chute but it doesn't come apart
4. where the chute meets the lid is a tiny area perfect for food to get into but it's so small the only thing I could use to get the food out was a knife so when cleaning it, you cant get into that area and remember the smaller chute that doesn't come apart? Well, can't clean that either
5. There is one blade for shredding and slicing. (One side for shredding- flip it over for slicing.) So even though you may be using the shredder, you also have to clean out the slicer.
In summary- I couldn't get it back in the box fast enough. Luckily, I didn't throw away my Braun, just in case...I'd rather have to cover the crack in my quiet, old Braun any day than use this food processor. A man definitely designed this, no question!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's good but not the best, October 11, 2010

The Blender works very well, 95% of the time my smoothies come out with out small chunks of ice floating in them. This is a big step in the right direction compared to my old one. The food processor works but could be better, the grater is the only disappointment because cheese gets caught between the rim of the lid and chute, but the cutting blades work very well. This blender is not as loud as a similar kitchen aid set up. My blender jar hasn't broke in half like another user, This is probably because I paid attention in middle school science class and am aware that pouring boiling water into cool glass will crack glass, armed with this knowledge I will not perform that action. Also the product is not advertised as a tea kettle.

For the price this is a good product if you want better you have to spend more.

When I tried to use the blender as a jack-stand while changing a flat tire on my car the glass broke, what a piece of junk.

Update: It is February 2011 now and nothing has broken. I don't use the grater on soft cheeses (ex: Munster; Havarti) and this is it's only weakness that we have come across. Every other function has been satisfactory. I'll let you know if it breaks.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broke the first time I used it, February 1, 2010

My partner bought this to combine two appliances into one and because he wanted a larger processor that does more (until he bought it, we only had a little Oskar processor). Anyway, I wanted to grate cheese without grating my knuckles, so I pulled out the processor. I used half a "brick" of cheddar, and I thought everything went well. When I stopped after the few seconds it took to grate the cheese, I noticed there was a bit of cheese left over that hadn't been grated, and also saw that the blade was wobbling. What had happened was the disc stem had snapped! The disc stem acts as an adapter between the motor's spindle to allow you to attach the grating/slicing blade. I've ordered a replacement part (the shipping is more than the part!), but I'm very displeased. The motor is certainly powerful enough, but if breaks the next time around, B&D will get quite a sharp letter for an under-engineered product. Fortunately, the chopping blade works great. Only time will tell...not something I like thinking about regarding a kitchen appliance.
