Advantages: Compact and Dishwasher - safe

Disadvantages: Not high - grade plastic

As my children moved away from home for jobs and higher studies, I found that my giant food processor stood silently on the corner shelf. I began to simplify my jobs to spend less time in the kitchen. The need of the hour was a handy, small and quick food processor, which was easy to handle, occupied less space on my kitchen platform and quickly and efficiently performed my basic tasks of shredding, grating and slicing my vegetables and salads. The Black & Decker FP1445 fitted my need perfectly.
As my husband and I became more health-conscious, I started using my companion more creatively. The mincing and mixing blade made my sauces and dips in just a few seconds. With my previous cumbersome food processor, often I used to be at my wit's end as I ended up with a watery paste of onions when what I needed was onions shredded into big pieces. But the Black & Decker FP1445 allowed me to adjust the right speed to the right processing task by using the 2 speed plus pulse switches. I kept my preparations fresh with the storage lid provided (though the plastic not being of superior quality needs careful handling).
At the end of it all, I could dismantle the parts easily and dump them in the dishwasher to be cleaned later.
This wonder machine, handy and efficient has a motor of 450 watts. This is a good buy with quiet efficiency for a small family with simple needs.
