Vidalia VOWR-2 2 Cups

$36.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
my only complaint: since i don't have a dishwasher, this item is sometimes a pain to clean - it's hard to get all the little pieces of onion skin off the blade and lid.
from www.amazon.com
it is so fast and not too hard to clean if you don't misplace the "comb" it comes with.
from www.amazon.com
if there are too many nuts on the grid, it's very hard to press.
from www.amazon.com
the other reviews are right; it is a little hard to press down on but i say 'man up' this cuts down on a lot of work!
from www.amazon.com
granted, if you are not even remotely strong you probably can't push it hard enough to get it through (i wouldn't recommend this for an elderly person).

from www.amazon.com
food does collect around inside rim of cover, but it is not hard to clean.
from www.amazon.com
kitchenaid kfp720er 7-cup food processor with 3-cup mini bowl, empire red food processor can be handy...but in fact they often sit unused because most are hard to clean or changing attachments is
from www.amazon.com
i wouldn't mind if the top was a bit easier to clean, as cheese and some other stickier foods can get jammed in the gap between the lip and the feeder tube, but it's not too hard to clean, just a bit
from www.amazon.com
i love that the buttons are easy to use, and it really isn't that hard to set up once you get the hang of it.
from www.amazon.com

from Chris from Round Rock, TX, www.circuitcity.com
i always had to cut harder vegetables into smaller pieces for my old food processor to work well but this one chops it all.
from www.amazon.com
they are a bit confusing at first, as it is hard to figure out how to get them to stop sticking so you can move the processor, but i found that you can solve this problem by just sliding the machine
from www.amazon.com
it's a great decently priced food processor with hard to find adjustable large shute, and mine came with a free rubber spatula perfectly sized for getting every bit of food out of the processor's
from www.amazon.com
the processor is quick, relatively quiet (the motor is quiet; the chopping action can be a little loud if you are doing very hard veggies like carrots or potatoes)and a breeze to clean.

Krups 24-oz. Mini Chopper

$84.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the bowl also has ridged areas running vertical, which makes it a little harder to scrape the contents.
from www.amazon.com
the only downside of this chopper - it is little bit hard to dissasemble and hold.
from www.amazon.com
i've had other mixers that had similar sealing methods and they hardened up after a few years.

from www.walmart.com
it works great on slicing the sweet potatoes you know how hard those things are to slice!
from www.walmart.com
with smaller vegetables, chunks can get caught in this area, and be a bit hard to get out.i don't mind leaving it on the counter so i can slice, shred, and chop as need be.
from www.walmart.com
especially like the large, adjustable feeder chute.shreds hard cheese with ease, too.
from www.walmart.com
i hardly ever need to use speeds 3 and 4.
from www.walmart.com
makes chopping foods for canning a breeze and to me, that was always the hardest part of the process!

$305.00 Est. at Amazon

from reviews.sears.com
this is the 3rd glass cooktop that i have had, but this one has been the hardest to clean.
from www.amazon.com
cuisinart has managed to improve the cover latching system, without making it cumbersome and hard to use (like on the kitchenaid that i tried at williams-sonoma).
from www.amazon.com
-because i like to grate hard and soft cheeses in bulk for adding to lasagnas, topping pizzas, or blending into savory shortbreads and hor d'oeuvre pastries.

Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3 Cups

$74.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it chops , shred , slice but the bad thing is sometimes when making sticky stuff, the stuff goes under the thing that holds the blade and its extremly hard to get out.
from www.amazon.com
anything that has been cooked will blend with ease, nuts and dates were fine, but i would avoid using it for hard cheese.
from www.amazon.com
this is large enough to be very useful but not large enough to be hard to store or too heavy for the compartment in the trailer.

the top of the bowl was hard to close and open and it seemed not worth the effort to do simple things in it.after purchasing the kitchenaid 12cup wide mouth processor, i can only say, it is a pure
from www.amazon.com
my former ka processor's blade actually cut grooves into the bowl and i tossed it as using hard plastic once it has been scratched or abrased can be detrimental to your health.
from www.amazon.com
i like the wide feed tube but the safety makes it hard to use on really big items.
from www.amazon.com
the only thing i would suggest for kitchen aid to improve on is maybe somehow number the different attachments so we would know for example the two shredders and two slicers are hard to tell the size
from www.amazon.com
i'm not sure if i pushed down too hard or the bowl got too full, but the slicing disk ended up slicing into the plastic cover and causing the motor to seize.

from www.shopping.com
excellent for mixing hard to stir ingredients. cons: a little too easy to overdo it and end up with pulverized goo.
from www.amazon.com
i wasn't sure if this product could really make smoothies and chop the hard things like ice (my regular blender is not strong enough to make a smoothie out of frozen fruit or ice) to my surprise it
from www.amazon.com
and it gets the blades pretty gunky, while not hard to wash it takes a few minutes.
from www.amazon.com
i then tried red pepper..which is hard to chop in a machine..and it did that too..and it chopped onions perfectly.
from www.amazon.com
if you use the pulse technique for chopping, you'll get the same effect as a cheese grater, only much faster and it works on harder foods.

it has a lot of torque for a little guy but i wonder how long it will hold up against shredding hard cheese.
from www.amazon.com
it seems to have sufficient power, although we haven't really tried to pulverize anything hard yet.

it is hard to believe something with a half horse power motor can be this quite.

i can't wait to grate hard parmesean cheese for pesto in it, and the key hummus.
from www.amazon.com
it was so hard to get the top to latch on so that the machine would run, and then, any liquid would also leak out of the bottom.
from www.amazon.com
i read another review that mentioned this and once i learned the hard way, then i immediately thought of that assessment.
from www.amazon.com
the work bowl cover is very hard to open and close.

from www.amazon.com
it would be better to have two on each side because having them in the middle makes it hard to use a spatula without making a mess.
from www.amazon.com
the hardened bread will scratch the inside of the bowl and/or will become caught over/under the blade jamming the bowl causing the tabs to crack that hold the bowl in place to the base.
