Good Quality Motor but Poorly Thought out Attachments
On the plus side this machine has a really solid motor unit. All the attachments feel solid and well built. Making pastry is a breeze (chuck the dry stuff in process and add the liquid and its done).

The paddle for whisking egg whites or presumably cream is really odd in my opinion - I would have preferred a balloon whisk that fitted into a geared attachment. The centrifugal force means the egg whites are spun out to the edge of the processor bowl so I just use a hand mixer. This is my fourth food processor (I'm 42 and had my firse at the age of fifteen as a Christmas present) and none of the for bearers had paddles they all had a proper whisk attachment.

Although the blade attachment is covered by protective plastic cover, it fits onto a centrel "carrier" and I am frightened I could get cut after processing pasty, or whatever is being processed, whilst removing the blade from the carrier (you have a plastic blade and a metal sharp blade that fit on a sort of blade carrier.

There is a small bowl that fits in the main bowl at the top - I made some mayonnaise in this but some of the liquid escapes so you have to wash the main bowl even though its not used. The oil also got under the small blade and the shaft on the main motor got greasy so not really very practical in reality - except for dry stuff possibly.

All in all I'm rather disappointed a food prcessor should be a good all rounder and a good compromise for not having three or four specialist machines. The Braun Multi System was an excellent example of a good all round machine but alas they are really hard to get if indeed they are still made.

Pleasant surprise
I have been pleasantly surprised by this food processor. I do not find it difficult to clean, if I use a very small bottle brush. This seems to get rid of any food stuck in the blade attachment. It is ultra efficient in cutting up food; mixing dough has become a pleasure; it is quiet when operating; making small quantities is easy. I have not yet used it for whipping cream etc. I am generally pleased with this item.

I am disappointed that the guarantee does not extend to persons buying in France. I cannot understand this, as it is sold in France and came out top in the equivalent of Which. I thought GB was in Europe! Is this allowed under EU rules? The reason I bought this processor in the UK was because there was not one available in France at that moment.
