Let me start by saying I got a fabulous deal on this processor a couple of years ago at TJ Maxx.  It was the last major (countertop) appliance I wanted for my kitchen, but I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of spending $200 or more, so I put it on the side burner for a while.  My husband and I happened to be roaming through a TJ Maxx and More one day and they had my processor pictured here for $100 with the small bowl, big bowl, shredding discs, and dough hook.  I couldn’t resist and bought it immediately.  I am so glad I did.  I really love this processor, granted it isn’t the prettiest one out there, but it has tons of power and can muscle through any job I give it.  I use the main blade and the disks frequently, but have not used the dough blade.  I use my stand mixer’s dough hook for those jobs.  I think the funniest thing when I took it out of the box was turning it on the first time and seeing stuff jump across my counter.  I didn’t realize the motor was going to be quite so powerful.  It makes the lights flicker in the kitchen, granted that might just be faulty wiring, but this machine is a beast.  I love using the discs for big grating and shredding jobs.  I know I can’t make my slices this even with my knife.  It makes quick work of cheeses, carrots, you name it.  The pulse feature is great and easy to use.  It’s very simple to run with three buttons - off, on and pulse.  It’s not to difficult to understand.  The grating discs are attached using another piece, but I had no difficulty in figuring out how it fit together.  The feed tube is quite wide and works pretty good for my needs.  All around it’s a great machine and who could resist at that price?
