Black & Decker Black & Decker Quick 'N Easy Plus Food Processor Review

I have been on a vegan-vegetarian diet for over a year now and needed a solid good food processor that could chop, grind and pulse nuts, dry fruit, and vegetables.  I have found that the Black & Decker Quick 'N Easy Plus Food Processor were adequate enough to suit my needs.  This food processor chops and grinds pecans, walnuts and almonds with no problem at all.  However it has been my experience that when I begin to chop dry fruit such as apricots i find that the blade sometimes sticks and becomes someone hard for me to get the blade out of the cointainer.  The Black & Decker Quick "N Easy plus Food Processor is good at chopping down ice but I find that when I try to make smoothies it sometimes stops before the smoothie is blended to my satisfaction and when it stops I have to agian stick my hand inside the food processor very carefully becaus i really do not wish to get cut and then have to got to a hospital because currently I do not have any insurance.
