Got the food processor bought for Christmas baking after I had borrowed a predecessor to "test" of the daughter. I am thrilled by the food processor. So you can work very efficiently because during a part of the ingredients will be stirred by the device, you have enough time to weigh further ingredients, measure and to crush. Have decided consciously for this device, as I do not need chopping mechanism. A great purchase at a super low price. For housewives and house husbands who love baking a strong buy recommendation.
