This powerful food processor made by Robot-Coupe of France, is a quality appliance from a manufacturer known for Commercial Grade Cooking Equipment. This is an extremely powerful but extra-quiet machine that includes a number of commercial-grade components and accessories for a wide variety of uses. The new Blend mix technology turns your machine into a world-class blender perfect for smoothies, soups, pancake batter and milkshakes. The 3 Tier bowl system let you make small, medium or large size recipes like pastry dough, mayonnaise, chopping nuts, or making vegetarian loaves. It can even knead bread dough in small quantities. The main difference between the 3 models is the size of the bowls. This is the larger sized processor which holds up to 16 cups for larger families up to 8 plus in total. If you entertain regularly, the large bowl holds plenty and means you don't end up doing multiple batches. Same impressive induction motor with the added 1100 watts of power.
