I don't even know where to start on how much I hate this blender/food processor combo. It was cheap and had the features I was looking for at the time that I purchased it which is why I bought it. It has several speeds, and can switch between blender and food processor, using the attachments, which seemed handy. Less counter space taken up-two kitchen helpers in one, right? Ummm...no. First, it was troublesome to put together, and we ended up having to take out hand tools to even get it to work. I should've known then that I needed to save the receipt and send in the warranty. I didn't-my bad....
