 Great kitchen luxury July 10, 2008
Mr. & Mrs. J (USA)
I have had this processor for almost 2 years and use it constantly. I bought it to do baby food for my second child and have found numerous uses for it. It processed the food I made well, but it was not a silky-smooth texture without adding a lot of extra liquid. For that purpose, I typically make chunkier purees, adding extra liquid to the frozen cubes upon reheating. That way I could make large batches of baby food that 'grew' with my child once she was out of the 'stage 1' foods. Now off the rabbit trail...
I use my processor to make pie dough, huge batches of cookies, hummus, salsa....pretty much anything. It is super easy to clean and has performed well for these two years with near-daily use. It IS a monster to store, but for me it was worth creating a space for it because I use mine so much. I would say it's footprint is *about* the size of my KitchenAid Classic mixer.
It's an excellent product at an excellent price :)

..and in this case, not even that. I arranged to return mine the day I got it. Chops and slices food unevenly leaving lots of "chunks" among the slices. Holding the handle and trying to twist the bowl to the right to remove it is very difficult. There is nothing to hold onto to push the other way. Believe me, if you have any kind of arthritis in your hands, this is not the product for you. The materials it is made out of, including the blades, are cheap, inferior. Yes, it is also big and bulky, but I could have adjusted to that had it been a good product. The "Big Mouth" feeding tube is the only plus, but that wasn't enough to warrant keeping it. I have a used food processor I got at a yard sale 14 years ago that does a better job. I only ordered a new one because I needed a bigger bowl.
my big mouth is my hero January 7, 2008

This model is very simple to use, requires no culinary expertise, and is very easy to wash and store. I hated having to cut things up in order to fit them in the processor to be cut up! The Big Mouth was the answer. I've had mine since Feb. 2005 and it is well worth the money and the valuable real estate in my small kitchen.
I'm not a cook, don't like kitchen chores much and I have never even used the regular processing blade, but the grating one is used at least twice a week to make homemade hash browns for my husband's breakfast.
Instead of buying pre-grated cheese, I buy in bulk, slightly freeze it and put it through the Big Mouth grater. Then I vacuum bag it in single use quantities and freeze what I won't use right away. I always have several kinds of cheese on hand and grated cheese can often be used when sliced cheese is called for.
I also garden and come harvest time ol' Big Mouth really gets a workout. Those big zukes and prize-winning potatoes are no match for this fella. He can handle it all and cleans up quick and easy. I don't like the suction feet as I can't move around easily then, so I just place him on a plastic-coated disposable plate. I have used the slicing blade when preparing foods, like peppers, apples, onions, eggplant etc. for dehydrating. I find that uniform slices takes some practice on things like tomatoes but the large, firm veggies come out just perfect.
My 2nd biggest use is cutting up onions. I used to have a hard time seeing through the tears just to get the job done. Now I slice them in Big Mouth and put them in a sealed bowl in the fridge, when I need chopped onion I just pull out what I need and fine chop the slices. It's faster, cleaner, and with the big cuts already made and the onions cold, there's no more tears. When I shred potatoes, I remove the bowl but leave the blade on top while I run cold water over the potatoes to rinse off excess starch. It holds the potatoes down but allows the water to run off; then I just dump the whole thing in a strainer to drain while I wash up the processor.
My husband balked when I first wanted to buy this, he said that using the hand grater was just as easy. Hah! Now the hand grater is hung on the wall as decor and he actually called me long distance one time when he couldn't find Big Mouth while cooking on his own.
I recommend this machine for basic kitchen prep. After 3 years of regular use, mine is trouble-free.
 Not for making baby food December 15, 2007

I bought this food processor with the intention of making baby food for my 6 month old son. I've found that it does not do a good job pureeing the food, so he will gag and cough most of it up. I think he'll be fine with it by the time he is 10 months old or so, but if you are looking for a food processor that does a good job of pureeing food I would not recommend this. However, everything else I've used it for has been fabulous and it really is nice having one with such a large cup capacity. I also agree with others - it is relatively easy to clean.
