I usually like the products from this company but the last two things I bought were disappointing. The capacity is too small. I did not realize how limiting three cups would be so I would advise betting the four cup model. The top is difficult to align and to take on and off. The chop setting is a misnomer - it pulverizes very quickly. You either get pieces that are too big or too small and mushy. The blade is very sharp, which I suppose is a good thing but consequently must be washed very carefully.
