I have own probably one of everyone that's been on the market, and being 62 years old, I can say this is the most convient and easiest to use I have ever used, with the bowls, I can chopped everything for soups and stews in know time! I'm going to buy a red one to match my other red appliances! I'll never use any other, now!
I bought this for little chopping jobs. It does an unbelievable job on onions. I use it to make French Onion Soup. I cut the onion in quarters or 8ths if it is super large. It makes very small onion pieces. Plus shredded carrots (chopped further), cabbage and mushrooms too. My 14 year old LOVES this soup. I don't have to spend hours of chopping. Plus the clean up is a breeze...toss all parts (except motor) into dishwasher. I am thinking of buying a 2nd one for work.
We just bought this to use to make puree. While reading the accompanying instruction booklet, I found a recipe for rotisserie chicken salad and decided to try it using leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I followed the directions and it came out perfectly! Smooth, even texture and delicious! For just the two of us, it makes smaller portions... Less waste. I'm very satisfied with this product!
I used this once for 3 minutes to chop up some tomatoes. When I went to chop my second batch, it didn't worked. I've tried everything and it doesn't work. WASTE OF MONEY. Save yourself the trouble and get something different. SO NOT HAPPY.
