I couldn't wait to try out my new HB food processor and see if it was as easy to use as the description stated. It was! I had previously thrown out an almost new, more expensive Cuisinart food processor, which had gotten stuck when I was locking it in place. Utter frustration! The Hamilton Beach processor snaps on in a jiffy. I love it! It did a beautiful job of shredding and then grating carrots for a delicious carrot cake. This one's a winner!!
