I've only owned a few low-end food processors before, so this is a major step-up for my kitchen. I love that it harnesses the power of my Bosch Universal and makes it a true multi-function machine and workhorse.

I've made creamy-smooth hummus, chopped chickpeas for falafel, and will make salsa with it tomorrow - why dice by hand for something like salsa when I'm going to cook it down in the end anyhow?

The only reason I've given it 4 stars and not 5 is that the first time I washed it, I noticed two little rust spots on the regular blade. I need to call Bosch about that and see what to expect - I don't expect a food-processor blade to rust after its first use. I have no doubt that Bosch will make it right, but it was slightly disappointing to find it on the blade to begin with.

I bought this to process the ingredients for salsa and other recipes. It did the job, but opening up and unloading is surprisingly a lengthier process than one might imagine. Because of the safety features of its design, you must remove the whole unit from your Bosch before you can take the top off. And because some types if veggies like to get caught under the lid instead of get processed, which leads to a mess when the top is removed. Other than the torque you get from the Bosch to power through anything, I couldn't recommend this over a food processor that costs $50 and doesn't trap food under the top. A huge disappointment from Bosch's otherwise fine engineering. I'm wondering how this could have made it past their quality controls and testing when this product was designed.

Don't buy unless you got money to blow.

I purchased my first Bosch Food processor in 1988. Now it is 2011 and time to replace. It still works but a small piece of the plastic broke after 28 years of almost daily use. I would highly recommend it.

Using the Bosch Universal Plus Food Processor makes chopping, grating or blending food so very easy and handy! I use it all the time now.

I make eight love of whole wheat and the machine does not even get warm. It is a work horse and a joy to use such a fine machine. If you are a bread maker this is the machine to buy.
