obviously I let myself be packed by the pub ... this robot could have been great but too many shortcomings: fine rasp grater does not so you have to press very hard anyway for carrots or celery. must be 2 hands: one to support the push vegetables, the other on the power button (I thought there would be a start / stop) it appears chunks of vegetables between the rasp and the chimney and vegetables flying side (so either using a container is high enough we lean the unit on top of the bowl to put not all) have a closed receptacle bowl been welcome. And yes, the engine trouble ... I am disappointed all the same
