Works beautifully can fit three large chicken breast fillets in there and shreds it no problem so its small but mighty i love it so much i bought my sister one and she loves hers as well. Super easy and pretty self explanitory set up.

Happy. On time and arrived well packed. It is lighter in weight, but well build. A good feel. My wife likes the ease of moving it around and works for all her needs. Well done.

Item was returned.Do you have a record of it being picked up?It was picked up. What is the status?

I read reviews for other Elemental 8's. Mine is a FP-8 no other numbers or letters, just FP-8, so I think it may be an older model. Anyway, I usually read the negative reviews first to see if there is the same problem over a number of years. I have to say this processor worked perfectly right out of the box. There is nothing fancy, no fancy lids that have catches you have to use to close it, no timers, no extra stuff to break. It has a chopping blade and the bottom blade is close to the bottom. If you read the instructions, it will tell you, if your chopping onions, green peppers other vegetables like these to push the pulse button 10 times. If you run it and don't pulse it you will have almost liquid. I made salsa, 2 green, 2 red peppers, some hatch peppers, some seranno peppers, 3 large onions, 8 lbs of tomato's, and a bunch of other ingredients, all through this processor. I love it, I am so happy with it that I have figured out that, except for a factory defect which will happen, the customer just has to be smarter than the processor. This model the Elemental 8 is to easy to use, so intuitive and only a bowl, a chopper and some graters and slicers, a top, and a plunger for slicing, that's it. Simple, Simple, Simple. I read one review that said they did not like it because the stem, that the bowl sets over and spins the accessories had to be cleaned. ? huh, I suppose if you filled it to the very top of the bowl some liquid may somehow get onto that spindle, but I really don't see how. I love it, love it, love it and would recommend it to my family, friends and anyone else that want a machine that does what it's supposed to without a bunch of extra latches, switches, etc. etc.

On the second try using this unit, it fails to turn on. I've only cut up cauliflower in it, so it definitely wasn't anything strenuous. After looking at the bottom of the container portion, some plastic pieces have broken off, making this thing unusable. I have contacted Kitchen Aid for warranty service, but I'm frustrated that it didn't even last two tries in.My advice: look for another brand. My wife and I received this for a wedding gift, but Kitchen Aid product have been really dropping in reliability as of these past few years. This will be my last Kitchen Aid investment.
