- 48oz pitcher, 40oz processor bowl, 16oz chopper

Who it's for

What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly call this powerful for a 450-watt unit and praise how quickly it assembles and cleans. One reviewer's plastic jars turned whitish and developed cracks after three to four years of regular use, and another noted the tall pitcher works better for thick food-processor tasks like hummus than for smoothies or soups.
