Full review

The colour and design are great. I did however struggle with the chopping/slicing blades as food gets stuck between the blade holder and lid. I also managed to bend a blade as it wasn't manly enough for the job in hand which was frustrating. I now can't use the blade!

The liquidiser is great and has the capacity to crush ice which is great for smoothies and milkshakes. Cleaning it is a bit tricky - you are supposed to be able to remove the blade but I've never been able to do it.

The multiple speed setting is useful as sometimes you don't want to over-whizz food. My only bugbear is that if you are making something very wet, the bowl can leak if you overfill it and whizz it up fast.

Generally however this is a great product and comes with lots of chopping tools that stack neatly inside the machine in a drawer compartment, a large mixing/processor bowl, good size liquidiser attachment and a free recipe book. I also like the fact that the dough tool, blade and citrus squeezer thing all stack inside the bowl for easy storage, and the cord wraps round on a little hook at the back.

A funky, clever little food processor that is more than up to the job, so long as you don't try and get too cocky with the blade attachments. Recommended.
