I went to take a good look at the Ninja and found it didn't have a
shredding/slicing blade. That had to be obtained elsewhere for about
$60. So I decided not to get it.
I went to Walmart and looked over all the food processors and bought
a Hamilton Beach Stack & Snap for about $50. I've used it twice so
far, but tested slicing, shredding, pureeing and chopping.
I like it a lot. There's no twisting of parts ... they just stack.
The chopping blade will stay in the bowl when you pour things out.
Everything stacks together very efficiently and the footprint of the
machine is about half what my old FP was.
Thanks for the input ... Lois
