I didn't purchase this through Amazon.
I've never used or owned anything like this before, and was hoping it would make life easier, and it does, for some things.
It seems my feelings are similar to the reviews I read of the 250 model.
The cutting blades work well, until the items get shorter, then it doesn't cut cleanly, or at all. For example a chilli, or just the last part of a bell pepper. Then it just sucks them into the top void, above the blade and below the chute. It then just spins them around the edge until the drop into the bowl... unsliced.
Kneading bread
The attachment for this has been very underwhelming. Even using half typical quantities, or the amounts suggested in the paperwork which came with the device, it strugles. It fails to knead it very well at all, usually followed by a burning smell as the motor can't hack it. The results have been very disappointing. Not only that, during kneading the dough works it's way up and back down the centre rotation shaft. This is almost impossible to clean inside. And not only that, I've experienced it working its way down into the base unit, and the mechanism there. Needles to say, that has electrical components and cannot be soaked. Which leaves me unsure how to remove dough which has worked its way into it.
Overall, for my first food processor, I'm pretty disappointed. Maybe I expected too much. Is this how they always are?

I have to disagree with the first reviewer. Although I have not tried the juice extractor attachment -I have used the slicer, excellent, the shredder, excellent, the little whisks, excellent.
I had grave doubts over the little whisks and though them not whisk enough for the job but made one of the best pavlovas ever.
The cleaning of it is as simple as an FP gets, everything goes into the dishwasher or can be handwashed easily.
I don't find it fragile- well not yet anyway- I've had it a week and am keeping it on the work surface so I actually USE the thing, not in a cupboard.
I shall be doing soup later on and look forward to trying the liquidiser.
You do need to store all the attachments in a draw or cupboard which can be a bit of a bore, but it's so with all of these things that have interchangeable blades.
So far I am very happy with this appliance.

I bought this product not here but in a shop because I wanted to make sure I know what I buy this time..Big mistake.and I cant return it now because I used it ..but how else would I know??..I am very very upset with this c..p.You like orange juice?me too.You like your kitchen and your shirt covered with orange juice?Me neither..I am very upset.I dont understand how any brand can make s.. like this..Its because you cant controll the speed of it .This machine is really stupid.You have to use one hand to hold the orange perfectly then your other hand to hold the button to start the machine .when it starts it is in controll splashing the juice everywhere.then you have to stop quickly because its engine is getting smelly,and you only supposed to use it for like 5 second?! the guy in the shop said ...pff..then start again but watch your hand.Oh and no way my girlfriend is able to use this.Thanks.
But it looks good.and has won a design award.
I am sure they didnt want to drink orange juice.
