waste of money & very underpowered,

This review is from: Robot Coupe R100 Combination Processor
I use this R100 at work and it is underpowered and lacks options. The work bowl is too small for bigger jobs. The grey bowls are inferior to clear bowls. I purchased a 14 cup (3.5 quart) Cuisinart at home and it works much better, stronger motor, includes more options, and has a much better bowl capcity by a full quart. The price difference is very substantial; even without consideration of price, the Cuisinart is far superior.
That being said, I use the RobotCoupe R2 and an R3 at other work places and they are very powerful and xuperior to the Cuisinart; but their cost is prohibitive unless you can business justify them. That being said, Robotcoupe has some great (and expensive) options for the R2 that MAY fit the R100, but it will still will be underpowered.
Don't waste your money on the R100.

the greatest buy yet!,

Absolutely awesome!
I've been using it for over 2 years, did not buy any additional disks, it come with 3 and that's plenty good, but you can buy some really neat ones if you are into parties.
Make sure you choose a clear bowl as it fills up fast.
I grate mushrooms, zucchinis, apples, and many other veggies.
I was considering Kitchen Aid, but it looked flimsy, just as expensive and who needs 12 speeds and 12 discs?
I'm glad that R100 is being offered through Amazon.
You won't be sorry for buying it.
