Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The machine is excellent with an incredibly stupid engineering decision on the main cover/lid. The soft plastic "safety" device only partially depresses the "safety" switch. This means that it will can not do things like shredding since the other cover will not fit over the shredding plate. I had resigned myself to using just the simple cover and chopping and mixing on the bowl. Just before a party, I tried to shred some carrots and there the combination of shredder and main cover did not work at all. After an hour's experimenting, I put a small piece of plastic above the soft "safety" device and another small piece above the "safety" rod. This allowed it to depress enough to work (and it worked very effectively). THIS IS RIDICULOUS
