Summary: 4 Stars
There are a lot of things I like about this Oster Inspire model, mostly I like the sleek industrial design that looks really great on your countertop. And its a good thing, because at FIFTEEN LBS you wont be removing this thing to the cabinet, or visa versa, very often.
I also like the extra sharp cutting blade, but I dont like the fact that it arrives with no blade guard, and wedged into the styrofoam packaging so tight you basically have to hammer it out of the package while making sure the exposed blade doesnt slice your toe off. I also like the plastic storage case for all the many accessories, but I dont like the abridged manual with its complete lack of illustrated instructions. Dont believe me, download the manual above, its cryptic and incomplete. However, on the flip side it makes me laugh that the English manual is 6 pages, while the French and Spanish manuals are a whopping 8 pages long! haw haw
But, when it comes right down to doing its job, this is the best food processor I've ever used. Its powerful, and makes quick work out of virtually any kind of vegetable, fruit, or meat, and cleanup is a breeze. But dont get too excited about the "gourmet french fry" cutter, unless you like your fries cut to one inch lengths.
Oster also includes a booklet titled "The Art of Food" which I was quite sure had a collection of recipes that benefited from a versatile food processor, but to my dissapointment all I got was a collection of random recipes from pork chops to pizza to even donuts that merely encourage you to use other Oster kitchen products. And alas, if you were wondering....yes, this machine was Made in China. (harrumfff snort growl)
Overall I give this beautiful device a 5 for the design, and 2 1/2 for Oster's irresponsible packaging and crappy documentation. 4 Onions
