strongest motor of its class
We chose this model because we don't want to move really heavy appliances around on the countertop but the mini-choppers are too small for our recipes. The 2007 weighs about 13 pounds and uses the same wattage motor and most of the same disks as the 11-cup model in this line although it lacks the extra slow-speed control button for dough processing and it uses the old-style plastic dough blade. (In this size it's probably a pie-crust dough maker not a bread dough maker anyway.) It's the biggest motor we found on a food processor this size.
Good stuff:
Easy wipe-clean base--no crevices to catch food. Hurray!
Stable and relatively quiet during use.
Easy top-rack dishwasher clean-up (power-saver no-heat drying)
Easy to add small (or liquid) ingredients during processing. Small inner pusher piece is removable giving access to a small feed tube. There's also a drip hole for liquids in the bottom of the small pusher piece.
Not so good stuff:
Very fiddly mechanism for locking down the workbowl before processing.
The large outer pusher piece that goes into the main feed tube has a metal rod that pushes down another rod on the lid that pushes down another rod on the bowl that finally pushes a control on the base.
If you have to remove the large pusher to add more big stuff to the bowl the mechanism stops. Probably just as well since a child's hand could easily fit through the large main feed tube.
I do wonder how sturdy the locking mechanism will be in the long run but so far so good.More detail ...
