Haier HFP400SS 400-Watt 10-Cup Food Processor, Stainless Steel with Black Trim

I bought this processor to replace my Hamilton Beach (a cheap, small sized $39 model I've had for a few years). My H.B. works fine, but I cracked the bowl and thought this would be a nice upgrade. I was wrong! The motor on this machine is not strong enough to process basic items. It was fine for salsa making. However, when I tried to make hummus the blade continues to pop off during processing. I then tried to grate cheese and not only did the disc come loose and make a crack in the bowl, the motor slowed down to the point where the machine stopped working. This was a regular block of cheddar, not even frozen! I then tried to slice carrots and celery. Not only were the slices totally not uniform in size, the motor was straining to slice them. My cheap little H.B. works better than this machine, and it only has a 325 watt motor. Don't waste your money on this, buy a Hamilton Beach or if you want high end, go with a Kitchen Aid.

Do not buy this product. I called for a replacement bowl and lid and could not be helped whatsoever. I do not have a receipt as it was a gift one year ago. When they transferred me to the parts department, I could not even order the parts as they did not have them available. Back to customer service who answered my question of "What would you do if you were me?" She said "throw it out and buy a new one"!!! Could you imagine!!! I will... but it WILL NOT be a HAIER.

I bought this food processor based on the price and have been extremely impressed with the overall quality, noise level and ease of operation. I consider myself a weekend chef and would reccommend this to friends.
