strongest motor of its class

We chose this model because we don’t want to move really heavy appliances around on the countertop, but the mini-choppers are too small for our recipes. The 2007 weighs about 13 pounds and uses the same wattage motor and most of the same disks as the 11-cup model in this line, although it lacks the extra slow-speed control button for dough processing, and it uses the old-style plastic dough blade. (In this size, it’s probably a pie-crust dough maker, not a bread dough maker, anyway.) It’s the biggest motor we found on a food processor this size. Good stuff:Easy wipe-clean base–no crevices to catch food. Hurray!Stable and relatively quiet during use.Easy top-rack dishwasher clean-up (power-saver no-heat drying)Easy to add small (or liquid) ingredients during processing. Small inner pusher piece is removable, giving access to a small feed tube. There’s also a drip hole for liquids in the bottom of the small pusher piece.Not so good stuff:Very fiddly mechanism for locking down the workbowl before processing. The large outer pusher piece, that goes into the main feed tube, has a metal rod that pushes down another rod on the lid, that pushes down another rod on the bowl, that finally pushes a control on the base. If you have to remove the large pusher to add more big stuff to the bowl, the mechanism stops. Probably just as well, since a child’s hand could easily fit through the large main feed tube. I do wonder how sturdy the locking mechanism will be in the long run, but so far, so good.
