This machine looks to be a real time and labor saver. I do a lot of cooking and being able to combine the chopping/blending functions with actual cooking functions all in the same machine is very innovative. It is also a great space saver, because it does the functions of several different appliances. I also like being able to cook something without heating up the kitchen with the stove or oven. The attachments look very simple to use (and clean) and I also like the precision settings.
