With a 350-watt motor and a 7-cup bowl, this inexpensive tool puts a family-size food-processor’s versatility and ease into a cook’s hands at a bargain price. The processor’s S-shaped stainless-steel blade kneads bread dough and chops and minces a variety of foods, from nuts to meat to cheese to vegetables and fruits. The reversible stainless-steel disc blade slices and shreds fruits and vegetables, and, with two speeds to choose from and a pulse control, the processor offers classic flexibility for fine work. Beginners will appreciate the control panel’s chart, which lists the appropriate blades and speeds for specific tasks. The processor measures 12-1/2 by 8-1/4 by 7 inches and sits on rubber feet to prevent skidding. The bowl, cover, and blades are dishwasher-safe. –Fred Brack

I had been researching processors for a while and was on a limited budget so I went with this one ($30 on sale). I got home so excited to check it out and it had a starnge discoleration on the blade shaft. I went on to investigate it and realized there was sticky, gross food all over it!!! OUTRAGEOUS! Then I plugged it in, and of course it didn’t work. I don’t know what the people who owned it before me did to it, but it obviously couldn’t take it.
Now I wonder if they just packed it up and returned it, or if Target was responsible for this! No wonder it was on sale!

They sent me TWO of them and neither worked!!!!! Neither would turn on!!!! Don’t waste your time and money!!!! Do not order this product!!!! The people who wrote good reviews must have been on drugs, or paid by the company. What are the odds of getting TWO lemon machines? Don’t buy this piece of junk! I had other people try to get the food processor to work, just to see if there was some chance that I was an incredibly inept person by assuming that following the directions, plugging it in, and switching the machine to on, it was supposed to work. No one else could get the p.o.s. to work either. Go to a real store and get one, that way you can easily take it back and test the thing in the store. That’s what I’m doing next.

I bought this “piece of junk” at Wal*Mart. I was actually surprised to see a food processor so cheap, so I decided to buy it.
After going home and washing the product, I decided to try it out. I plugged it in and NOTHING. It didn’t even budge!
Anyway, I am going to have to drive ALL THE WAY back to Wal*Mart and return this…
Save your money and go with a more expensive model that will last you..

When trying to use the slicing feature the processor shreds all the ingredients. Initially it slices but all once that food is in the bowl it then gets shredded by the blades as you put more food in. The cost of this appliance appears to be economical but you will eventually have to buy a better product.

I didn’t purchase mine at Amazon, but since I’m now looking for a new food processor (and it came up), I thought I’d tell you the good the bad and the ugly about this machine. Yes the price is low and there is a reason for that. The machine comes with several blades and that is swell, however your machine is not strong enough to do much in it. I have a bread recipe that makes 1 loaf, this machine will do it, however, it smells like the machine is on fire when I attempt to do so. The dough ends up inside the metal blade somehow and that is a huge pain to try to clean. I also use quite a bit of cheese and sometimes, I don’t have the time to shread it myself. This handy-dandy food processor can grate part of the cheese and the other part ends up sticking to the top of the shreader blade. I end up getting a little shreaded cheese (Yes, I sliced the cheese to make it easier on the processor)and the rest is just a liquified version of cheese. The shreader blade is alot of work to get clean after that. It’s fine for someone who doesn’t use it much, provided that the items you are attempting to process are pre-chopped by hand first. This kind of defeats the purpose of a food processor in my book. So, my friends, I’m moving on to something bigger, badder and better!
