Is the FP-5 big enough for a family?

It is best for one or two people. A 5-cup bowl fills quickly when you process large batches of dough, slaw or shredded cheese.

What comes in the box?

The food processor, a universal chopping blade and a reversible shredding disc. No dough blade or extra discs are included.

Can it chop nuts and make nut butter?

Yes. Owners use the universal blade for nut butters, pesto and breadcrumbs, though small batches work best.

How does it compare with a full-size Cuisinart?

It is smaller, lighter and easier to store, but full-size models have more power, bigger bowls and more accessory discs.

The bowl, lid and blades are removable and washable, and the compact base wipes down easily. Check the manual for which parts are dishwasher safe.

Does the feed tube take whole vegetables?

The wide-mouth feed tube holds plenty of food, but large items may still need to be cut to fit.
