Good for the price,
At less than 50 bucks i wouldn't call this food processor "slightly upscale" as the last reviewer did. It is a good budget food processor. It works fine for moderate use. A piece of plastic broke off into the handle and now it rattles around in there, but otherwise it works fine. It can slice veggies, grate, chop, everything a food processor should do. I think it's puree could be a little better - but for 50 bucks - what can you expect.

Fairly powerful, but with some bugs,

_Good_
I owned one for 2.5 years before it blew out, and just bought another. The price is as good as the absolute bottom models I used to get (e.g. Hamilton Beach), but with a little more power. (Often seen on sale at stores for $30.) I used it mostly for mixing cookies, cakes, brownies. The stem in the middle is fairly high, so liquids don't leak out as easy as other brands (e.g. my Mom's Cusinart). When I made smoothies with frozen berries, it had plenty of power to chew the berries up. When the mixture becomes too thick, hard stuff added on top (e.g. nuts or chocolate chips) will just bounce around, but I think that's true of most food processors. It shredded cheese well, only bogging down when I pushed the block down hard. A small amount of cheese gets wedged at the edge of the mouth; not as bad as other processors I've used though. Originally I thought a suction cup would fall off or stop being sticky, but they were still working and gave the unit a solid feel on our tile counter. The surface under the bowl is a textured platic that is flat and easy to clean. (Much better than stainless steel, which shows fingerprints!) Same for the buttons. Liquids don't get inside the unit. I know, because I opened it up when I tried to fix it. No food inside. They've increased the cord length to 3 feet (old model was a little too short before, maybe 2.5'?). It still winds into the base like a blender. _Bad_ Storage can be a problem, because the unit is _tall_. Even with the bowl removed, the base is tall like a blender jar. A big point of failure is beginning to rotate the bowl before the blade has stopped spinning. (This is what I believe killed my prior unit after 2.5 years.) Even if you've shut off when the safety brake engages, there is enough momentum left in the motor to rip the plastic sleeve right off the motor shaft. After the incident, the motor runs, but the plastic sleeve doesn't turn. I can see why the designers would give preference to safety. A rachet mechanism would fix this, but that would of course increase the price and be another point of failure. There's only one speed. I didn't have trouble with air getting whipped into my smoothies though. There's no storage tray for the blades. You can store one in the unit. I use a small shallow cardboard box to set the other one in for safety. As mentioned by many others, there is no dough blade, though it is pictured on the box and there is an indentation for it in the styrofoam packing. I've got a bread machine, so I'm not missing it.

Annoying to operate,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black & Decker ProwerPro II Food Processor FP1510
Directions for this food processor are not clear. Unless you get the container in EXACTLY the right position, it will not operate. Truly annoying.
