Black & Decker Quick 'N Easy Plus® Food Processor

Comment: Ok, the price is still too high. I paid 19.99 and no shipping because I bought it locally. For the price I paid I expected very little. I mean really 20 for a large food processer is CHEAP! It is loud. It is not "freight train" or "speed boat" loud. It is food processor loud. I have owned it for over two years and I have used it. I use it mostly to make breadcrumbs, chop onions or herbs, or puree something. I do not use it for slicing so I have no idea how that function works.
I have never seen the need to take out a large appliance so I did not have to slice a cucumber, I would rather use a knife and save myself the cleanup.
In Sum, it has not broken, it does what I need it to and it was not $250. I think I got a darn good bargain.

Comment: I have had my f.p. for 5-6 years now, and not a bit of trouble. At first the chute would plug, but then I removed the two screws and plastic piece and left out and it has worked flawlessy. It goes through about 500 lbs of cabbage a year for sauerkraut plus does all of our tomatoes and peppers for salsa, plus 75 lbs of tomatoes for Italian Spahgetti each year. Clean up is easy, everything goes into dishwasher and as far as the main unit goes, we do all of canning process outdoors so I usually use garden hose and spray the unit off outdoors and have had no problems.

I have used other family members' fp and found that I can cut and shred vegetables twice, if not three times faster then theirs with the continues chute, no stopping and removing lid, then blade, then adapter, dump out product and then reinstall everything, with this place a bowl under chute and keep feeding in the food and good to go for hours.

Comment: It's hard to believe that Black & Decker got away with this scam. The product leaks like a damaged lifeboat and the motor is loud and hot. Maybe they were betting that you wouldn't even get that far, as the top needs to be rotated past some sort of lock built into the lip. More times than not, it catches on something, preventing you from using the damned thing. Avoid.

Comment: I had this product about 2 years. I used it prob. 3-4 x's a month, mainly just making hummus or soups, so I didn't go very hard on it at all. I never used any blade other than the chopper. Mine was liad to rest because the blade got stuck on the bowl and would not come off. The blade will not turn so I can not use the product anymore. I tried everything to get that thing off of there! Soaking in soapy water, using 2 screw-drivers to try and pop it off, hitting a screwdriver with a hammer on the underside. There was no saving it. I called customer service and to replace the two parts would be $34 (which was $5 more than what I origionally paid for it at Walmart). I'm not buying another black and decker. I was pretty happy with it up until this happened, never had any problems with the motor or anything... but having a piece get stuck on there sucks and I didn't treat it badly at all. Other complaints the plastic bowl got a very small crack after a year or so and would leak, but I could pretty much fix that with a piece of tape over the crack. The thing also leaked contents out of it sometimes (through the top part) and cleaning the side shoot wasn't easy, but was doable with sponge without unscrewing. I could look past the leaking and the crack... but not so much the part getting stuck making the thing unusable.

Comment: I used this twice!! The first time was to make Ham salad and it worked great!!! How ever the second time I sliced 5 potatoes and the slice/shred disk broke!! No wonder it was an black friday item at Wal-Mart!
