While there are  a few drawbacks-- the outside gets very hot and will melt plastic if left too close.  I find that putting a chicken on the rotating spit can be a bit tricky, as it needs to be well balanced when in operation.  Also the door is rather loose so you need to take care when handle it so it does not fall off.  Although, I tend to dislike  and refuse to buy anything that requires more cleanup (chicken in pyrex in the oven is much easier),  I will make an exception for this this item.  It does a great job.

The blades zipped through the food (much faster than in my old machine). There was no need to empty the processor to make room for more, and it did just a plain better job than I could have ever dreamed. — If you are debating about replacing an old worn out food processor then do it. You will be amazed. I recommend the...

I used to store a hand mixer in my cabinet--not anymore. I now actually look for ways to use this mixer everyday. It makes baking and food preparation easy. It is one powerful machine. Clean up is also easy which is something that i look for (it can be a deal breaker for me when buying a product). I never want to be without...
