I got up early today to take care of some business, and one of the things at the top of the list was to exchange the food processor from yesterday.

Exchanging it was pretty easy. I got to Target as they opened and was only the 2nd person in line. I made sure to get a box that was clearly unopened and traded it for the piece they sold me yesterday, making sure to let the customer service rep know that it should not go back on the shelf.

Once I got it home, I set it up got all the veggies out and hit that ON switch.

Nothing.

What? Really? No way!

I refused to believe that a second one also did not work and looked more closely at the appliance. That was when I saw this:

That was when I realized that it said ‘handle’. I picked up the main container, repositioned it so the handle lined up with the text there and gave it another go.

Guess what? It worked. How do you like that.

Guess I made an extra trip to Target and harrassed the staff for no good reason other than my own stupidity. Or, as we like to call it in my world, bad user interface! Yeah, that’s it.

Anyhoo, the thing is awesome, worked like a charm, ground up the veggies for the dog like a charm. The only complaint I have is that since I am pulping out such a small amount, I have to repeatedly scrape down the sides, otherwise it just sticks there avoiding the blades. Otherwise, it gets a thumbs up from me.
