Good Points
- Easy to use large press buttons and control dial.

- Large bowl with labelling on unit to indicate bowl locking position only.
- Grading on bowl.
- Processor bowl is sealed, easier to clean and does not spill ingredients onto unit or when removing blade.
- Quad blade has large grip area.
- Double chute can accommodate larger items for shredding and slicing.
- Large chute has a safety lock feature and needs to be in place to operate.
- Accessories provided include, chopping blade, kneading blade, beaters, coarse shredding/slicing disc, fine shredding/slicing disc, french fry disc and juicer.
- 4 pre-set modes: pulse, chop, whisk and puree.
- Excellent performance when using juicer attachment.
- Very good performance using chipper attachment.
Bad Points
- May need to bend to view control dial on the front of the unit.
- Manual speed dial, not ideal when using slicing and grating disc – need a quick burst of speed rather than gradual.
- Bulky unit with suction feet, but jolts with a heavy load.
- Smoky plastic bowl colour restricts visual observation/changes in food.
- Processor lid can be difficult to remove.
- Reversible slicing and grating discs and chipper disc have limited grip.
- No storage box supplied, some accessories can be stored in bowl when not in use. Other accessories need to be stored separately.
- Grey plastic exterior, with black control panel. Can show smudges and some cracks and crevices that may accumulate grime.
- Accessories are bulky, may be awkward to clean in a domestic sink.
- Some parts are fiddly to clean with cracks and crevices.
- Noticeable strong chemical smell from bowl and accessories – may have occurred during manufacturing. This smell may transfer to certain foods and change their taste. Tried to soak in vinegar and baking soda, however smell remained.
- Noisy on high speed.
- Possible hand access to slicing/shredding blades through large chute.
- The blade sits too high up from the bottom of the bowl may not be able to process all the ingredients evenly and leave ingredients around the blade unprocessed.
- Processor blade performs better than the dough blade for pastry.
