Black & Decker ProwerPro II Food Processor FP1510

At less than 50 bucks i wouldn't call this food processor "slightly upscale" as the last reviewer did. It is a good budget food processor. It works fine for moderate use. A piece of plastic broke off into the handle and now it rattles around in there, but otherwise it works fine. It can slice veggies, grate, chop, everything a food processor should do. I think it's puree could be a little better - but for 50 bucks - what can you expect.

I used it mostly for mixing cookies, cakes, brownies. The stem in the middle is fairly high, so liquids don't leak out as easy as other brands (e.g. my Mom's Cusinart). When I made smoothies with frozen berries, it had plenty of power to chew the berries up. When the mixture becomes too thick, hard stuff added on top (e.g. nuts or chocolate chips) will just bounce around, but I think that's true of most food processors.

Directions for this food processor are not clear. Unless you get the container in EXACTLY the right position, it will not operate. Truly annoying.
