Convenient and light; however, the small blade has difficulty chopping such benign things as dried (but soft) sour cherries. To accomplish this requires surprisingly long run times with frequent interruptions to scrape down the bowl.
It's easy to use and to clean and does the job well. I've used it mainly to ground nuts, chop herbs and onions, all of which it did efficiently and effectively. A warning though: Before you turn it on, protect your ears with earplugs or noise canceling headphones as it's pretty loud.
Very happy with the new Cuisinart Chopper. Lighter than the older model but chops things up quite well and very evenly. Easy to use and clean. It’s just the right size for smaller jobs that you don’t want to have to get the monster food processor out for.
This is a replacement for an older model (3 years) that quit turning the blades. It got used every day to chop cooked vegetables for our dog’s dinner. Newer model has nicer features.
Had the first version for 36 years was a work horse. This one is all plastic, very lightweight, doesn’t spin as fast as original and my guess won’t last as long. Bounces on the counter when you use it.
