I do not know if it kneads or not but I use it for doing all the other things with it. I think it is not that hard to clean because there is not that many parts.The book that comes with it should be able to tell you if it kneads or not so check your manual.I am sorry I could not be of more help to you.

Yes it is small and does a very good job of chopping, shredding and slicing. I don't think it would knead. It is nice and small , doesn't take up much room on counter. I have a 12 cup cuisinart that is huge and have put away because this does the job for us. I have even purchased one for granddaughter who is getting married because it is perfect for 2 people. I use almost every day.

Not sure, haven't tried that. If I was home I'd check the manual for you, but I'm "snowbird-ing".

I'm not sure what gadget you're referring to. The Cuisinart measures about 4" each side and about 10" high when assembled. It takes up a medium amount of space. If you have a large amount of counter space, it would be fine. I do not so mine is put away after use. It is easy to clean. Does not knead. I've not had any difficulty shredding anything except mozzarella. It is too soft and jams up the chute. Otherwise, I'm very happy with it!

According to the manual (which can be looked up online) you can make a small batch of pizza dough. Going from memory, I think it uses 1-1/2 cups of flour for the recipe, enough for a 14-16" pizza. It says you can also make pie dough for a one-crust pie, which would be about 1 cup of flour, but pie dough also has shortening in it, increasing the volume somewhat. There are also recipes for a batch of six cupcakes or muffins, to give you an idea of the size of the recipes the unit can accommodate.

I think this is as small a processor that you are going to find that dose the work like a big machine. I do not have much Counter space either so one of them big machines would not work for me and this saves me time and I do not find it hard to clean.

I haven't tried to knead anything yet, but the blade is sharp and may cut more than knead.

Absolutely cuts raw onion, I would think it could cut potato & beetroot just as well but I haven't tried those.I only have this chopper a short while and loving it. Cleans extremely easy. I think stainless blades neverneed sharpening. Two year limited warranty. Booklet that comes explains in detail.

If you want a coarse chop, this won't work. However, it does make very quick work of fruits and berries if you want to purée them. It is a powerful machine with a good-sized capacity.

The slicer shredder has a much bigger cup capasity and runs on the lower rpm motor. Its perfect for slicing cheese without tearing it to bits. The slicer shredder also comes with an extra blade for French fries. If you make a few cuts in your potatoes and then run it through the slicer it will also cube your food for you. The food processor is smaller and runs on the higher rpm motor where your blender runs. Its good for veggies and very hard meats. I tried slicing pepperoni and cheese in the food processor. It did slice it but it also tore much of it to bits and i didnt like that much waste. Its perfect for say casseroles and salsas or other foods that won't be on display and has to be perfect. I use the slicer shredder for making meat trays and foods that i need to look a certain way and can't use if its deformed. They are bth very useful and important in their own way. I hope this helped you

Yes! The clean up is SO EASY. There is a pouring lip at the corner and it's lightweight and a manageable size. When I'm not going to use it for a ewhile, I pour hot soapy water into the reservoir and rinse it out. Otherwise, you can just paper towel it between uses. This is perfect for 2 people and takes up very llittle space on the counter. It heats up fast and uses less energy than bigger fryers. I love it.

This is the smaller of my two spinners. I use it for cleaning salad greens for 2 or 3--3 good fistfuls. Or branches of herbs. Or, cut the stems off a small or medium bunch of parsley or cilantro and that will fit. If you are washing a large quantity of cooking greens or salad greens for a crowd, either work in batches or also acquire a large spinner. This has proven very sturdy and it is a good size to carry in a tote when you are expected to cook in someone else's kitchen.

In my opinion even the coarse setting chops a little finer than that. But it would be pretty close. My experience is that there is more consistency with this chopper than with a food processor, but not as much flexibility in chop size.

Yes, it's really easy and fast to chop garlic, but it's hard to get all the garlic off from in between the blades, so a lot of the garlic gets lost :(

I've had it for too long to remember, but it is pretty easy to operate, should be able to figure it out. I use mine with the triple chopper blade to make salsa. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, jalaps, 12 cranks and it's done.

very easy to open, easy to use, easy to clean. Be mindful that it's small though. Love it to chop walnuts for my salad. Since it chops right in a cup, there's no mess.

I thought it would be too small but it's actually a nice size for quick jobs; a small onion or tomato, especially grape tomatoes which I like to cut in half. It works well also for herbs and garlic on my small cutting board.

Yes it is, only smaller and much easier for a single person or a couple to use and store. I love mine because we do not eat much and it does one chop or one small steak just perfect.

I haven't been able to shred cheese, but it will chop it very fine. I use a mandolin slicer with a cheese shredder attachment. I did not receive a snap on cheese shredder with mine.

It chops finely. No blender consistency. It has a fast speed and a slower speed. I just give it a couple of quick pulses on fast usually and it's chopped. I've chopped onion, garlic and cilantro and it does great. I've also chopped tomato but you don't want to get it filled more than halfway if there will be any liquid at all which you get even when you use a knife. I really wish I had gotten this a lot sooner.

I would like to know how well the slicer works on potatoes. Also, does the shredder work on chopping nuts? Thanks!

It is quiet and does not howl. It is "noisy" when it is actually chopping, but one would expect that. It chops quickly so you do not want to leave it on too long. An onion the size of a baseball is chopped in 10 seconds or so.

I haven't tried carrots yet with it. it shreds potatoes and cheese nicely. It can slice sticks of pepperoni but not very well you have to push pretty hard. I think it would shred carrots nicely. It works great and I love that you can store stuff after you shred it.
