Is the 7-cup bowl big enough for a family?

It suits one or two people and small batches. A family cooking in larger volumes will want an 11-cup or bigger machine.

Can it knead bread dough?

It can mix soft doughs in small amounts, but the 300-watt motor is not built for stiff bread dough. A stand mixer is the better tool for that.

The base, a 7-cup work bowl with lid and feed tube, a slicing disc and a shredding disc. The discs and cord store inside the base.

It is smaller, less powerful and stores its parts internally. Full-size models offer more power and capacity but take up more space.

Yes. It has three speeds plus a pulse setting for short bursts of chopping.

The bowl, lid and discs are easy to rinse and wash. The base should be wiped, not submerged.
