affordable; capable of dough; compact; easy to store

Stiff buttons; lightweight; need both hands to operate; lid occasionally challenging
lightweight base; loud; groove in feeder tube system trapped food particles
motor is only powerful enough for smaller establishments where it will be used just a few hours a day; it only comes with 3 blade/disc attachments and 1 cutter bowl (other accessories are sold separately and can be pricey); no blade storage included with your purchase; can't see ingredients through the cutter bowl
