I saw this through vitamix website and thought what a great idea i dont have one and love my vitamix what a great combo. Well lets start from the beginning, love the fact that i saved some on the price compared to vitamix came pretty fast no complaints there. So the packaged arrived Oct. 8 and as i opened it from the Amazon first thing i saw was that it was not in its original packaging. Amazon took it out of the vitamix package and put it in just a plain big amazon box. I called amazon and asked them if it was refurbished and they assured me it was brand new. I read the crinkly manual that was thrown in the box i kinda got the idea on how to use it now remember i dont have or ever used any food processor before with that said, i put it together that was not difficult it was ok. I decided to start easy and small so i tried the thin slice used a persian cucumber to see how it did it was easy and slices were thin so far so good. I then tried the thick slice disk and i did mushrooms it did ok but i had a lot crumbs along with the soices and the crumbs got stuck to the ridges and groves of the blade at this point i stoped cleaned of the entire machine and called it a day.Day 2 i was thrilled to use the machine yo make pizza dough took out the machine once again and put it together with the s blade to do the dough, so the cook book was very little help in regards to the process the recipe was average with the ingredients the direction just said process for 10 seconds then process for 30 seconds, since i was not sure what that meant i tried using it on the on setting and wow was that so wrong the base of the blender started moving so i quickly turned it off then i tried pulsing it also started moving the base again and at this point the ingredients all were stuck in the middle of the s blade starting to form a sticky dough i add more flour and oil to get to come together i stopped using the on and off and just used the pulse on the machine still making the machine move i got so nervous the the processor would fly off and that my vitamix base would fall i stopped and dumped out the semi together dough and finished the mees of the ball by hand i was left with a lot of parts to wash and it didnt even do a good dough. I called Vitamix for guidance and the first rep was not very familiar with the product hung up called again the second rep also wasnt to familiar with product but was willing to help she mention that due to my counters being granite that was the reason for the base moving but really had no idea why the processor was so unstable. With the fact that she said that the base woukd move because of the counters i found it to be unsafe for me to keep. I dont feel that the processor is worth the price tag for it to work only in certain countertops that was not even mentioned in the description. I know i may not have used it correctly but it shouldnt be that hard and the directions should of been better written. The unit had no problems detecting the base. Very sad, but returning. 🤨

This thing is quite powerful yet not as loud as the blender attachment. The multi-use blade has a similar function to the blender while not being as loud. You can't control the speed, so you use time to increase the processing. the lower-priced Amazon kit is great it would be even better if they sold the food processor alone with the multi-use bade and the discs separately to reduce the price. You may find yourself using this often as it comes apart much easier than the blender pitcher and is just so much quieter. we learned the hard way to be careful cleaning the plastic these pitchers are made of. Hopefully, it doesn't develop any cracks or damage from long-term use, but it does have a three-year warranty which is longer than a one-year manufacturer warranty of cheaper products. It is difficult to close and open, but the key is to just hit it with your closed fist in a palm strike or karate chop motion. Or, hit it with the back of the blender tamper. Also, you must use two hands on each side to safely open it. I don't have very long nails and did break one one time trying to open it with one hand. The closure needs some redesign, but it is workable. Sadly some people returned these for this reason. I do think it's worth criticizing, but is not worth more than a 1 star deduction.

The Vitamix food processor is a brilliant attachment that combines the strength of the Vitamix motor with food processing. The attachment is a smart tool that gears down the speed of the food processor spindle by seven-fold. It is pretty easy to test this theory by comparing the rotation of the axle that attaches to the coupling device on the motor and the rotation of the axle that the S-blade/ discs attaches to. The food processor makes smooth humus and is a great tool of making nut butters. The benefit of using the food processor to make nut butter is that it is easier to clean than using the blender jug. The only mistake that Vitamix has made is in the instructions for making nut butter - it is not possible to make nut butter in 2.5 minutes in a food processor. The real time is about 5-10 minutes and it will require several attempts. Attached is a photo showing the nut butter - it is pretty comical that it is rolled into a ball but it definitely is nut butter. It is a shame that Vitamix has no intentions to release this attachment outside USA and Canada as many Vitamix users around the world would find it incredibly useful.

This powerful food processor excels in chopping, blending, and slicing with precision. Compact, easy to clean, and surprisingly quiet—ideal for busy kitchens. Highly recommended for hassle-free cooking!
