  • Auto-iQ preset programs for one-touch chop and puree
  • Includes reversible slicing/shredding disc and dough blade
  • Narrow footprint relative to bowl capacity
  • Dishwasher-safe bowl, lid, blade, and disc

Pros

  • 1,000W motor outperforms every other model in this roundup on dough and dense vegetables

Cons
