Superb machine, easy to reassemble after use and washing, does everything quickly ,thoroughly and efficiently. I will recommend it to all my friends.
But that weight is just what is needed in a food processor --- it is steady and remains in place while processing. This is the food processor recommended by America's Test Kitchen and that is why I purchased it. The base is quite heavy, so if you are feeble you may not like it. I don't use a processor much, but when I do this one is more than up to the task. A great product.
When my old Kitchenaid processor's plastic mechanism that locks the lid in place finally wore out, I tried everything I could to get replacement parts. I could'nt find them anywhere so I bit the expensive bullet to buy a new one. Boy, do I love it. Kitchenaid has beefed up the interlocking plastic parts, so I expect this one to last longer than I will.
I wanted to save some time by using it to chop onions and carrots. It's great if you have a large family, or a catering business. It pulverized them. This was much larger/heavier than I expected. I definitely could have gone with a smaller machine, but I am not unhappy by any means. I expect to have a long-lasting relationship with the new monster in my kitchen.
It finely chops greens for for dishes like tabbouli, ghorme sabzi, and ashe reshte. Red pepper/walnut/pomegranate paste dip. It's been three years since I got this food processor and it is still my favorite household object. I can do so much more with this food processor than I could before. It is not a coffee or spice grinder. It grinds meat or meat-and-bulgur into a paste for cig kofte, kibbeh, and icli kofte. Yes.
I'd tried other food processors and none could handle parsley, for example, in the volumes needed for a parsley-based dish.It is not a blender. It is beautiful (mine is red) and powerful. You bet.Probably the most exciting function is for greens. It grinds walnuts into paste for fessenjan and almonds into dust for baklava. Hummus. Use a blender for large amounts of liquids. You get the idea.
