I had a full-sized food processor for many years, though I seldom used it. The last time I got it off the shelf, I discovered that it no longer worked. Because it's an appliance rarely used, I chose not to spend money to replace it.
Recently, I saw Ree Drummond ("The Pioneer Woman") use a mini-processor to mix the filling for deviled eggs. That made me research the item, and I chose this product mostly on the brand name.
Pros: The unit is small and compact and pretty easy to put together (especially if you scan the directions!). It also cleans up very easily. Although I did have some concern about the machine "walking" my countertop while in use, it stayed perfectly in place.
Cons: The machine is VERY LOUD! It comes with two settings - Lo and Hi - and I tried the Hi for about 5 seconds and decided I'd run it longer on the Lo setting. Lo is also loud, but tolerable. The machine only runs when one of the settings is being manually pressed down. In other words, you can't turn it on and walk away - it needs the pressure on the setting button in order to operate.
Overall, this will work for my needs and I'm happy with it for the price. I would say that the worse thing about it is how loud it is when in operation.
