This is an excellent food processor from a high quality and Trusted brand. I am only selling this because my daughter has been diagnosed as an acute celiac (gluten allergy- not contagious). Everything that is plastic in my kitchen must go. This food processor has two speeds and a pulse setting. It is fantastic for making so many things. All of the safety features of this appliance work perfectly. The bowl must be tightly fitted. And the lid must be tightly fitted before it will turn on. The slicing blade on top is fantastic for making many salad toppings. I have likely sliced hundreds of carrots, cucumbers And cabbages. You can also slice cheese this way if you cut the cheese small enough to fit through the slot on top. The shredding blade on top is also fabulous for shredding cheese, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, etc. (shredding potatoes is great for making potato pancakes) The bottom large mixing blades in the bowl are great for mixing things like homemade yogurts, homemade breads, homemade cakes and of course Sunday morning waffles. we are truly sad to part with this essential part of our kitchen. Obviously you could easily use just the top two blades of this food processor without any issue. The mixing bowl is quite large and therefore you could shred or slice a lot of fresh vegetables for your healthy diet. Please note that the lower mixing blades have a small crack in the plastic that holds the blades. This crack has not been an issue for 10 years. however, I have also not put anything hard in the lower bowl to protect the crack. sadly, the crack does not appear to show up in the photographs. It is highly likely that Hamilton Beach has a replacement piece for this item, I have simply never asked. Thank you for looking at our listing. We always welcome questions . From a smoke-free home.
