At $**** with shipping, this is a great value for the money, even if it is refurbished. It's heavy and seems well made. The motor is very quiet and powerful. I've only used it a couple times so far to make dips, so time will tell if it has the power to grate hard cheeses, etc. But, I have no reason to doubt that it can.
There is a nice selection of blades and the storage drawer underneath is a great idea. The slicing blade is also adjustable, which is a nice feature. I had some concern as to whether the 7-cup capacity would be big enough since most full-size processors are 10-cups. Now that I've used it, I can't imagine needing more than 7 cups.
My one gripe is the cord. It retracts into the body when not in use. But, it doesn't come out (or go back into) its slot very easily. It's tolerable, but not ideal.
Overall though, this food processor seems worth well over the $****selling price. Even as a refurb, there's a 12 month warranty. I would be surprised if it died before I got my $**** worth. Go for it.
