Bad points

Bad Points

  • Each time you remove the processor bowl, the spindle remains on base and can be easily knocked.
  • The pusher in the processor chute can easily fall out when removing lid.
  • Reversible slicing and shredding disc has limited grip. Care still needs to be taken when assembling and disassembling.
  • No separate storage for accessories. Some items can be stored in bowl when not in use. Blender needs to be stored separately.
  • White plastic exterior, OK to wipe over. Some cracks and crevices around the controls can accumulate grime.
  • Some parts are fiddly to clean with cracks and crevices.
  • Processor bowl is not sealed, overfilling can cause spills onto the unit.
  • Difficult to scrape out a load from under blender blade.
  • Possible hand access to slicing/shredding blades through large chute, no safety lock feature on chute.
  • Very noisy on high speed.
  • No ON indicator light.
