I HATE this food processor! I have had it for several years now and rarely use it because it is so hard to get the container off of the unit. I have to beat it and stand on my head and do acrobatics and pray that the stupid thing will come off without spilling my food. Other than that it works fine. But it is just too annoying to use and I am going to replace it with a less annoying and hopefully easier to work unit. If you want to purchase this unit...take mine for free!
