Must now admit ( and having had direct dialogue with the OP ) I have had the Waring for a week or so now. Certainly does the job and is of course in a different league to the rest ( Krups included ). This comes at a price but a price worth paying considering the diversity of use already put to. I do also like the 3 metal pots supplied with sealing lids which adds versatility. eg I have used one to do a large lump of Parmigiano and is now stored quite happily in the fridge . Gonna give it a go now on a house brick
