Mostly Good - Very Bad Bowl Design
Ok... there are several things I really like about this food processor: I love the huge 14-cup bowl & the wide opening. I love how simple it is to use/assemble/disassemble. I love the suction-cup feet, so it stays put. I love that it is a nice-looking unit & looks great sitting out on the countertop.
My one big complaint is the design of the bowl: the center hole in the bowl (where the attachment spike goes) is LAME!!! Yes, the bowl is a 14-cup bowl, but the center hole is only 1-1/2" tall... so if you are making something juicy like salsa, it will pour right out thru the hole & go all over your counter! I actually had to pick the entire unit up (with the bowl & blade in place) & pour out the contents that way. It's a design flaw... if the bowl is 5" tall, why wouldn't they make the center hole 4 or 5" tall also?? I don't get it....
Great for my needs
I got this mainly to do salsa and I love that it fits everything I need right in through the openings. It comes with 3 blades for different styles, cleans up amazingly easy by hand or is dishwasher safe. I love the suction cups on the bottom to keep it from sliding. I also love the capacity, it holds a lot of stuff so I don't have to stop, empty it and start up again. It's a little loud on medium and high speed, but I only use it for short times so it doesn't bother me. I've had this for a little over a month now and am very pleased.
Echo the Reviews about Design Flaw - I Got Rid of Mine
I was really excited to get this food processor, it is huge, and seemed like a great idea. I used it exactly once. As at least one other reviewer has noted, the center of the bowl does *not* cover the spindle (that the blade slides on to) so when you remove the bowl after using it, stuff just spills out of the middle! Who was the braniac who came up with this design?? Completely useless for most things, and *forget* having liquids in there, you may as well just pour them directly on the counter.
