Kitchen countertop space has and always will be at a premium. There is never enough space, and deciding what goes topside is a challenge. Consumer research revealed that one of the problems with food processors is the amount of storage space they require.

Only 22% make it to the top counter, while 57% are stored in a kitchen cabinet, where tall products are difficult to store. To tackle this problem, this full-size processor was specifically designed so the lid flips over to nest inside the bowl, with enough space on top for disc storage.
