u0026#149;u0026#032; Bulky and heavy unit, can jolt with a heavy load. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Lots of accessories. 2 storage boxes are quite bulky and take up a lot of cupboard space. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Can be difficult to remove mini bowl from inside large bowl, limited grip as it sits inside the bowl. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Brushed stainless steel finish exterior, can show some smudges. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Accessories are bulky and may be awkward to clean in a domestic sink. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Some parts are fiddly to clean with cracks and crevices. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Mini processor bowl is not sealed, overfilling can cause spills into large bowl, which will then require additional cleaning. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; The mini processor bowl may require larger quantities to perform better due to the shape of the bowl.

Requires constant scraping to get an even consistency. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Noisy on high speed. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Possible hand access to slicing/shredding blades through large chute. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Processor blade performs better than the dough blade for pastry. u003cbru003e
