I bought this food processor about a year ago to replace my previous one that died on me. It is durable, easy to wash, and the blade is still sharp - all of that is in stark contrast to my previous processors that always seem to break, malfunction or dull.I am a chef in New York City so I need reliable, consistent and durable kitchen appliances for my restaurant and this product has been great for me! It processes everything from fruits to vegetables, to nuts....EVERYTHING! I will never buy another food processor.I would recommend this to everyone, you will not be disappointed!
