We finally threw the thing away. Here's what I hate about this food processor: outside of its capabilities as a chopper, it is impossible to clean. Our food processor collected a profusion of black mold material inside its handle and try as I might I couldn't put this supposedly contained collection of toxicity close to my food.
What happens is that liquid gets inside the column and the blade and creates suction. It has to be carefully cleaned for the same reasons - gunk gets stuck up inside the blade piece and putting it in the dishwasher does not make it sanitary.I was hoping for something more carefree, which is why I did not buy a big food processor - I've cleaned those before. First of all, it does its job well. It is sometimes very hard to pull the unit apart to clean and I have cut myself a few times. I still recommend this item, just be careful not to cut your hands if it gets wet inside. I make smoothies, guacamole, hummus and chop veggies with it.What I don't like is that the center column where the blade sits in the bin is open to the outside. The inside of the blade piece is open.
A task that used to to take 15 minutes now takes moments. This one though is easy, fast, makes work a pleaasure and looks fabulous. It was out of stock from stores so I ordered from Amazon. My cheap old chopper was difficult to use and tedious. Worth every penny. Arrived with damaged cup (would not lock so it wouldn't turn on). Company replaced it with no hassle.Now that I can use the chopper, it is wonderful.
I am taking it back to Target and getting a Cuisinart. No kidding - there was a puff of smoke, a flash of light, and it died. Complete garbage. I bought this chopper on Jan 27th and thought it looked a little flimsy, but had faith that it might work. On Feb 7th I tried bread dough in it.
I bought this to make baby food and it's so much better then the ones they make for baby food. I am glad that I went with Kitchen-aid, a brand that I trust. Definitely worth the money. They're just not as strong as a regular one. This little processor does everything and it's so easy to clean. It purees veggies and finely chops meat.
