SHARDOR 3.5-Cup Food Processor Vegetable Chopper for Chopping, Pureeing, Mixing, Shredding and Slicing, 350 Watts with 2 Speeds Plus Pulse, Silver

This is a very good food processor! Before I purchased this one, I bought two other brands one after another and had to return both of them. I finally came across this one and I am very happy. It is very powerful; it can make frozen ice cream desserts out of completely frozen foods. It sticks well to the kitchen floor so it is stable while processing. The lid is closed and attaches firmly to the ball so while processing food does not come out. It is stable and powerful. It is very easy to clean which was one of my issues with the previous one. Food does not get stuck in between the razors; there are no holes/cracks in the plastic around the razors where usually food gets stuck. Everything stays inside and is easily cleaned. The processor is small which I like. I have not tried the grater but I like the processor so far.

First, let me say that this little food processor is perfect for everyday use. It has a very strong motor and the shoot spits the food right into my bowl with unlimited capacity. When you do use the bowl for a food processor, the lid has a place on the top where you can drizzle liquid right into the container. (perfect for making pesto!) It is a sealed/contained system. You can also see by the pictures that liquid in the bowl won't spill when you take the bowl off the motor.I tried to compare the size to other items you may have to give you an idea of how much counter space it takes. It's footprint is smaller than a 2 liter bottle of soda! I can easily leave it out all the time - which means I'll use it all the time. The slicer cuts thin. Perfect for dehydrated apples. The shredder is surprisingly sharp! Cheese won't be a problem at all. You can only use if the pieces are properly engaged. See photos for alignment of lid to bowl and bowl to motor. Also, make sure you remove the protective plastic covers off the blades before using. I bought this for myself and have not been compensated in anyway for this review.

I had my doubts at first.I wasn't familiar with the brand. It seems like it would be too small.But I took a chance because I wanted a processor with a chute, that would make coleslaw and not pureed cabbage.I have to say, there's not a lot to choose from.I was pleasantly surprised.This processor is small, but it's tall enough to eject the ground up veggies directly into the largest bowl I have and make as large a batch of slaw as I would ever need.It also does a MUCH BETTER job with carrots and onions than the two Hamilton Beach models I have been using.The only thing I think could be improved is the outlet opening of the chute which is tapered on the way out in such a way as to become clogged easily.It's actually pretty easy to remove the whole thing from the base so you can open it over the bowl and clear it out without losing the contents.But that design also makes cleaning the top section with the chute a little bit trickier than it would be if you could reach through from either end to remove stuck stuff.This wasn't a problem for me since I ran water throu it as soon as I was finished using it.But if I wasn't able to do that before it had a chance to dry and become stuck to the surface that couldn't be reached, I could see it being a pain to clean.The small footprint is great because I can leave it on the countertop where it's easy to get to and use whenever I need it.The other lid and blades that I don't use as often fit easily into a storage bag and are stashed conveniently into the small cabinet over the microwave where most stuff wouldn't fit.The container is big enough to make small batches of sauces and stuff that you wouldn't want to eject with the chute.But if I need to make a larger batch, I can still use the old HB processor for that.This one is almost perfect for what I need it to do though.It's actually the best I've used so far for making slaw.Just don't try to force it.Cut stuff small enough to fit into the opening and it'll do a great job shredding it up.NOTE: Upon receiving delivery, I received an email from the company to activate the 2 year extended warranty and free replacement.I haven't had any problems with the unit. But it seems like they're going to offer pretty good customer support and service if I need it.

After many years of use, I had to replace my Little Oskar and I ended up going with this Shardor food processor. I wanted one that was relatively small but powerful enough to chop and mince nuts and veggies easily. I also wanted one that had a slicing/shredding disk. So far it has worked well for me.A couple of things that I noticed: it is a little tricky to assemble the first couple of times. You need to be sure to lock the lid securely to the bowl. Then when you install the bowl on top of the unit, you need to be sure that you twist it clockwise as far as it can go. If you then twist the switch to start the motor and nothing happens, go back and try twisting the bowl a little harder. It is likely that you haven't actually engaged the bowl sufficiently. Once you have done it a few times, you will get the feel of it.When it was new, I noticed the first few times I used it that it had a "hot" smell while operating. I don't notice it anymore.I was a little concerned because this was not a brand name I knew, but most of the reviews were positive. am glad I took the chance on buying it.

This is an incredible food processor, and just wonderful for a couple. Over the years, I have had 2 different Cuisinart, and another 1.5 cup Black & Decker, the Shardor is easily closer to the highly rated Cuisinarts, than any of the several small processors that I have tried and sent back. This does it all quickly, quietly, and perfectly either slicing carrots, shredding cheese, or grinding my own hamburger. All was done evenly. The chute for the sliced/shredded food items is handy and allows you to do quite a bit. The only complaint I have is that that this chute is awkward to clean. Also, removing the bowl is hard, but I am hoping that as I use it, I become better. I am very impressed with this food processor and would recommend it to anyone wanting a micro-processor.
