I’m extremely familiar with the Cuisinart name. But am disappointed in this product. Though I brought it to chop nuts. I first decided to use it for cilantro. I needed to chopped it up fine. Which it didn’t do. The blades don’t seem sharp enough. I did it for 3 minutes and still wound up using a chef’s knife to chop it fine. It doesn’t deliver what it says.
Bought the chopper with high hopes (have had good luck with other Cuisinart products), but this was very disappointing. Tried it with the base it came with and on a cutting board. Tried it with a handful of herbs and with a much smaller amount of herbs. Bottom line is that it was very disappointing purchase. It did not chop the herbs properly and with things like parsley and fresh basil, it only bruised the leaves without cutting through them. Still looking for a good herb chopper!
