Gran: Just what I was looking for to replace my old food processer

Amazon Customer: This blender is a great buy for the price point. And cleans best by putting components in the dishwasher. A word of wisdom- the blades are VERY sharp. I found out the hard way just carelessly removing the blade from the dishwasher. My fault- but my thumb hasn’t forgiven me.

A suggestion to the manufacturer would be to include a storage sheath/case for the shredding blade. Quite dangerous to put this in a cabinet unprotected.

Mjay: Broke in the first 30 seconds of grating cheese. Return process was quick and easy.

Stan C: My wife loves this. There has not been any problems with this item yet. It is solid and easy to use and easy to clean. We are not chefs but there is a lot of potential uses. Great buy.

UPDATE 5/10/11: Not even into 6 months, the Post/Bowl Coupling that the blade attaches to has cracked. This appliance is not an every day user so the this part should not have broken. To replace it, I would be out about twenty-three bucks. I am going to pull the paperwork and see if it is still under warrantee. So, I have dropped the 5 stars to a one. I will update again when I contact the company.

FINAL UPDATE 5/17/11: When reading reviews, if someone must contact the customer service department due to issues, I take that review (bad or good) over any other review. I was not happy that I need to replace the part, and not too happy that it is on back order. But, welcome to the days where our purchases are made in other contries. I was very please with B&D's customer service. I did not have to prove that the damage was not my fault. I do not like having to contact costomer service, but if I do, I want it to be a positive interaction. I am putting...

J. S. Carr: First let me say this is not a $200 processors. When I say 5 stars, I don't mean compared to a $200 processor. I'm comparing it to the handful of other food processors I've worn through near this price point. This machine, in my mind, sets the gold standard for this let's say class of food processors.

That said, this thing is a real workhorse. We use it primarily for shredding cheese, usually full pounds of mozzarella at a time but sometimes harder cheeses, and it does so beautifully. We've used it to shred some other things and it's done fine, but I think it's safe to say that the real test of any processor is cheese and I can tell you unequivocally this processor shreds cheese with no problem. If anybody has an issue with parts breaking I can only guess maybe they're forcing it? Any time you're using a power tool, whether it's a food processor, table saw, or weed whacker, you have to let it do the work. If you force it, it will break. If you want to shred a pound of cheese in 10 seconds go look at $200 processors. If you just don't want to have to do it all by hand, this thing is great.

This processor's lid, chute, etc all fit together much more...

B. Allen: I bought this because I've been living without a food processor for over 3 years now and just desperately needed one, but could not afford a kitchen aid one.
Was a little nervous to try anything too "heavy" on it, so my first use was just chopping vegies and cheese for a meatloaf, it did great and saved me a ton of time in preperation.
second use I used it to slice mushrooms and onions with the slicer attachment, again, saved me a ton of time and tears (no more hand chopping onions!)
third use! I finally had the guts to make bread dough in it, it worked great, even while it was "kneading" the heavy, sticky dough for 1 minute it didn't get too hot or slow down!
The safety features are... well... they certainly just ARE.
So, I'd definitely say this is a good machine, just fine for basic food prep. Perhaps not the most beautiful appliance, but food processors rarely are that attractive.
EDIT: after many uses the motor died while making bread, using the bread recipe provided in the owners manual. I believe the method they use to mix the dough is what caused it to go, instead of slowly adding the liquid next time I will probably just dump in all the...
