Bad Points
u0026#149;u0026#032; Touch controls may be slow to respond. If you need to stop processing there’s no separate on/off, need to press the same button or another to stop. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Controls are not intuitive, may need to refer to manual initially. Crowded control panel. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Small written labelling on controls. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Lightweight unit has suction feet however can jolt with a heavy load. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Due to inbuilt scales, best to leave unit out on bench and minimise movement in order to prevent damaging scale. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Processor bowl is not sealed, overfilling can cause spills onto the unit.u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Some labelling on unit to indicate bowl and lid locking position, however is not clear. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Separate spindle needs to be attached to the base of the unit first, under the processor bowl. Each time you remove the processor bowl, the spindle remains on base and can be easily knocked.u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Lid can be easily pushed out of locked position when in use, hence stop processing. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Reversible slicing and shredding blades have limited grip. Care needs to be taken when assembling and disassembling. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; No chute in blender lid, only a small hole for liquids. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; No storage box supplied, some parts can be stored in bowl. Blender needs to be stored separately. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Stainless steel exterior with black control panel. Stainless steel shows smudges. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Bowl is not sealed, overfilling can cause spills onto the unit. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Due to limited grip on the blades, it can be difficult to safely hold blades for cleaning. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Blender base is not removable and can be difficult to clean and remove a load from around blade. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Express serve accessory works well however some processed food can accumulate in the lid and not flow out. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Possible hand access to slicing shredding blades through large chute, no safety lock feature on chute. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Noisy on high speed. u003cbru003e u0026#149;u0026#032; Processor blade performs better than the dough blade for pastry. u003cbru003e
