Thirty years ago, I bought my first food processor. A Philips that turned out to be a "beast" since it lasted for a full twenty-five years with daily use. Then I got a Philips with many attachments and later the Kenwood fdp65. Both of them presented problems in a short period of time. As for the bowls, they were made of fake material and broke their "teeth" at the handles where they fit to operate the food processors. Now, as the owner of this one, I am pleasantly surprised. It seems to be of good quality - of course, time will tell. What I noticed in chopping and grating vegetables is that it cuts everything well, without leaving large pieces behind. It also cuts vegetables directly into the plate if I want. In conclusion, I am very satisfied with this little one.
