- Unique, stainless steel, double chopping blade chops faster and finer

- Measures 19 by 12 by 15 inches; 1-year limited warranty
Running at 600 watts, the unit offers nine levels of speed plus turbo and pulse buttons. The food processor's bowl holds up to 50 ounces of food and has a wide-mouth feed tube with a pusher in its lid for adding vegetables for slicing or shredding or for pouring oils or liquids into a sauce. The processor uses a unique double chopping blade that promotes faster and finer chopping. In addition to its main stainless-steel chopping blade, the processor comes with a plastic blade for kneading dough, a stainless-steel french fry blade, and four square discs that pop into a round disc holder to slice (thin or wide) or shred (fine or coarse). Additional attachments include a stainless-steel whisk for whipping cream or batter, a citrus juicer, and a juice extractor, making this a four-in-one appliance. The discs all store safely and conveniently in slots within the food processor's lid and more storage is located below the blender for blades and other attachments.
Convenient for puréeing soups, baby food, or sauces, the blender portion of the unit holds about 50 ounces and has a convenient measuring cup on the side of the pitcher. The blender locks into place for safety and, when not in use, has a hinged safety cover that goes over the motor. The whole unit has nonslip feet to keep it from sliding on a counter and a cord storage area underneath the blender side of the appliance. Both the blender and food processor bowls and all the food processor attachments are dishwasher-safe. This unit is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

We've tried a Waring - the motor smoked on the second use. We bought an Ultrex and it has a great motor but the blade assembly continually freezes up and needs to be replaced. We've read all the reviews on all the other blenders on Amazon and it is apparent that the entire selection offered by every manufacturer is sub-standard at best. We bought the Euro-Pro based upon it's unique design and I am happy to report that it works remarkably well for it's price/feature set.
It makes a great margaritas (some things never change!) and it does a decent job busting up the ice into consistent, minute sized particles. If it can do this, than a smoothy would be no problem at all. We've used the food processor for various tasks and it also works remarkably well. It has a great little blender/beater bar that is great fun to watch (very cool!) and it creamed butter quite nicely. The tools and accessories are nicely stowed away, which is a tribute to the careful design that went into the final product. The motor is strong and both blender and processor make the most of what it has to offer. The only downside is that the makers assume that you know all about a food processor - if you're a novice, then you'll need to either experiment or get advice on what all the tools are and how to use them.
Pros:
Compact design
Nice & slick storage
Plenty of power
Decent at crushing ice
Cons:
No recipe book
No explanation on how all the tools & attachments are to be used
Could have a wider speed selection - 1 through 8 are really close, turbo is a quantum leap from the others
Bottom line is that we're very happy with this unit. We'll hold onto "ol' faithful" for awhile yet, just to make sure that we're in the clear, but so far so good - which is a lot more than I can say for the past few blenders we've tried. The five starts are relative to the others we've tried and compared. It could be better, but the rest are very sub-par.
If anything ever changes, we'll update our review.
