Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this food processor right before Hanukkah, so of course the first thing I did with it was make latkes! I had to make a batch of 3 dozen latkes for my daughter's sixth-grade class, and I was not looking forward to all the grating. This food processor made short work of the onions and potatos, grating everything evenly and with minimum bruising, not to mention incredibly fast! As I was making baked latkes, I had to run the shredded veges through the work blade to make the shreds somewhat smaller. The food processor managed this again without turning my shreds into bruised mush. The blades are very, very sharp. My latkes turned out great with a minimum of effort on my part--I was very, very happy! Since them I have used my kitchen aid (we have named her Diana, after Wonder Woman) many times and am always very happy with the results. I knocked a star off the rating for two reasons: one, the lousy accessories packaging. The plastic box can only be stored flat because there is no way to lock the cover on. In my small apartment, I must store it sideways and it's closed with a very low-tech rubber band. Two, the smaller workbowls are only useable with the work blades provided. It would have been nice to be able to use the smaller bowls with a grater or slicer blade as well.
