"Excellent for small kitchens and small budgets" star star star star star A lot of research went into choosing this processor. I would love to have bought the Sage for its bigger motor and ability to slice veg lengthwise, but it was too expensive and too big for my tiny kitchen. It was a bit like choosing between an Audi A6 and a Fiat 500 - much rather have the Audi, but theFiat is lovely and more practical. The KitchenAid has transformed my cooking. Great for coleslaw, chopping onions really small (so I can make some great curry pastes), slicing salad veg, grating cheese and making energy balls - pretty much everything I need it for. I would definitely recommend!
