Waring 3 Cup Food Processor WCG75

As a chef, I need functional and reliable equipment and so far this mill has been very good. For now I have nothing to complain about. Very efficient and fast. The 3 bowls are really practical and everything washes very well. I recommend it without any problem. The price is not affordable for everyone but if you use a lot of whole spices it is worth the investment.

I’m in the initial phase of starting a hot sauce business. This works great to grind dried peppers into fine powder. It easily handlers harder spices like nutmeg. Came with 3 stainless grinding bowls with lids which makes switching from different ingredients and storing much easier so you can just swap the bowls instead of having to completely wash and dry between ingredients.

I am really happy with this chopper? blender? food processor? or whatever they call it. I looked in all the box stores for a small food processor but it was almost impossible to get at them because they were boxed or in plastic. The few that were out as demos just looked junkie to me. The price for this Waring Chopper was much higher than the off-the-shelf stuff, but after a lifetime of buying tools I have learned that it doesn’t pay to go cheap. This was well worth it. As soon as you pick it up you can tell it’s going to be a keeper. It’s HEAVY. And unbelievably quiet. And it doesn’t dance around on the counter when it’s working. I like the small size because it doesn’t take up a whole lot of room on my limited size countertop, plus it sits UNDER the wall cabinets. If you are OK with a smaller type of food processor (or whatever it is) I can recommend this one highly. Absolutely no regrets.

Everything is great !

The biggest problem with this unit is trying to put in place the plastic cover. It is so difficult to do that. You have to use so much pressure to push and then twist the cover. It feels like the plastic cover will crack. This is needed to be in place or else it wont start since it is the locking mechanism. I kept wondering why they made this simple process so difficult. Wrote to Waring about this but go no reply. I am not the only one that had this problem. Just read the other reviews.

After years of using pre-ground spices, I tried grinding some whole spices in a pestle and morter. There were noticable improvements in flavour and aroma so I began looking for an electric spice grinder (I had some time to kill). Most of the range developed for home use seemed a little feeble, with plastic bodies and small motors, and their reviews echoed that; many complained of these machines breaking down after a few months or frequently jamming etc. So, in a fit of enthusiasm, I bought this one. It’s simple to use and does exactly what it should – grinds. So far, I’ve used it to make garam masala (with whole spices: cinnamon, cloves, cardamons, bay leaves, coriander, cumin, black pepper, and allspice) a few times and it’s munched those into a fine powder. I have also used it for coffee beans with perfect results. The grinder is a rotary blade type (similar to a coffee grinder) but its powerful motor enables it to cope with everything I’ve used it for. There are three identical grinding cups (each with its own blade) provided and these are easy to clean. The photo here is misleading in one way; the safety lid (the upper half of the machine as pictured)is clear perspex rather than the metalic version show. Although pricy for the domestic buyer, this seems well built and sturdy and it does the job it should so I would recommend it.

UPDATE: Almost two years of daily use and the grinder is still working perfectly.
