As an avid home cook, I killed my last food processor after 5 years of use. I bought this one because NINJA has a reasonably good reputation. I really like it! for my own home use its great. I made the Naan bread recipe and it was delicious. I've made one loaf of bread easily using the dough blade. Adding a bit more flour helped pull the dough bits from the bowl and blade. It cleaned fairly easily with no areas that got wet on the inside of the handle. It fits together easily and has I nice release button to release the lid from the bowl. It's a good product! Does it's job. The only design flaw would be the food chute. Carrots or cucumbers fall to one side of the wide chute. No centre O to slide narrow veggies into. There is also no small hole in the food pusher to allow liquids IE: olive oil to be added slowly for things like mayonaise or milk etc. Its small enough to fit easily on my counter. It's a keeper for me.
