Pros
excellent performance; 25-year warranty; 8 attachments; blade storage; wide feeder tube; large and small work bowls; timer; good customer service
relatively inexpensive; good performance with chopping, mixing, and slicing; continuous processing through large feed tube
great performance and great versatility; relatively affordable for a basic commercial food processor; the longest motor warranty of any commercial food processor; convenience of external ejection chute on vegetable prep attachment
Cons
expensive; heavy base; difficult to clean; poor emulsifying capability
motor not strong enough for heavier jobs; large feeder tube is poorly designed & hard to clean
motor is only powerful enough for smaller establishments where it will be used just a few hours a day; it only comes with 3 blade/disc attachments and 1 cutter bowl (other accessories are sold separately and can be pricey); no blade storage included with your purchase; can't see ingredients through the cutter bowl
