Having found myself completely enthralled with Jamie's 30 Minute Meals last year, suddenly I was in dire need to a food processor! I duly told the parents who purchased this as a Christmas gift.

It's compact, quick and capable. Really really easy to assemble and use. I'm reliably informed by the other half that it's a doddle to clean as well (I cook, he washes - that's fair!). Admittedly it's not all singing and dancing, it is a simple food processor. There are no attachments for shredding or slicing. It's small and robust and has had no problem whizzing through the harder items (nuts, potatoes) that I have put in it. The bowl is small, so if you are looking at doing large batches of anything it can be problematic. There are only two of us so the space is ample. I've only had the product since christmas but I think it will last! It's not too loud, but does interfere with the telly box.

As I received this as a gift, I think it is fantastic value. However, if I was purchasing this myself I might have gone for a 'value' range proper food processor with all the attachments. Overall I would recommend the product, but do be aware that it is restrictive in the size and the fact that there are no attachments.
