5.0 out of 5 stars Efficient Little Workhorse, December 17, 2009

I bought this from Macys last Spring and not Amazon because I had a coupon and got it on a deal.It was my retirement present to myself.

I've used this extensively since mostly chopping veggies from the garden and making salsa, chopped tomatoes to freeze, etc. I used the slicing disc once to try it and it worked well.

If I had any complaint it would be its too efficient. At first I could turn about anything including onions, liquid. I had to learn to keep an eye on the material and my hand off that pulse button. Its doesn't take much to chop about anything down to nothing. Easy does it.

I recently tried it to make meatballs by putting pork sausage and burger in the bowl with other ingrediants and it worked great. I'll never do them by hand again.

I've used the chopping blade (not the grating blade) to grate hardened cheeses like Parmeson and Locatelli and it again worked great. I'm sure the grating discs would have done a little better job but I like my grated cheese a little larger in size rather than powdery texture.

It cleans up easily and bowl and lids snap together with ease.

Note/s: With any processor you need to make sure that whatever you're putting into the bowl goes in approximately the same size: quarters of onions, halfs of tomatoes, etc. Otherwise things get chopped in un-even sizes.

I have a small family and a small garden. You may want to look at a bigger size if you need to do a lot of canning and feed large number of people. This size worked for me.

The food processor works wonderful and does everything it is supposed to do. However, it isn't 'chrome' like the description says it is. There is an actual chrome version but it is not this model - it is the larger model. This one is just plastic, painted a gray color to look like chrome. A little disappointing.
