I don't really know how I have managed so long without a food processor. My last one conked out years ago and I have made do with a handheld processor/chopper which has now also worn out. So, off I went to Argos to redeem some of my hard-earned Nectar rewards!

I thought I would have to pay quite a lot to get a good quality processor, but at £29.99, this Morphy Richards model is exceptionally good value (especially as I remember buying a Braun food processor for around £40.00, 25 years ago!)

One point to note on the product description - the bowl is not glass as detailed here, but is clear plastic (as I would expect). I find the 1 litre capacity is perfectly adequate for my needs. There are 2 speed settings + a pulse setting which is great for chopping nuts.

General operation is smooth and not too noisy. The different operations are:

* Chopping: the main chopping blade is very efficient. It also comes with a protective plastic cover which means that I am less likely to cut myself when rummaging around trying to find it.

* Dough preparation: the plastic dough blade works very well and produces perfectly mixed pastry dough in no time. Cake mixture can also be prepared this way.

* Citrus juicing: very efficient and and the strainer is very easy to clean afterwards

* Grating/slicing: I prefer to use the blade rather than the grater or slicer as I find that they leave behind some pieces of food which have not made it through into the bowl.

The instruction book is adequate and also includes some basic recipes.

2 year guarantee included with product and also a Helpline telephone no. (0870) is available. You can also order replacement parts by phone.

I can definitely recommend this product as a time-saving and efficient appliance at a very reasonable price.
