Every kitchen should have one!!!! I had my mother in laws chef given to me about 15 years ago and i was none to pleased when it broke down due to overworked ,i brought a new one when i could afford it.. well hubby did lol.. i use it all the time it makes cooking and baking much quicker and with great results...i have only added the liquidiser to this one which is great for fresh fruit milkshakes for the kids yum yum!!! i had all the attachments to the old one but hardly used them not that they are not good ,,they are the potatoe peeler was great.. and the slicer too, which i must buy .. biscutes are so quick in this and you know when you have something really sticky that you don`t like to handle well thats the good thing you don`t have to.. and its dishwasher proof,, i put my old and new bowls in my dishwasher and they always come out nice.. if you have not got one and want a helping hand i would advise this as a good all rounder..
