This has been perfect for me , especially after just having oral surgery.  I can chop up fruit and vegetables into pulp so I can still eat it. Of  course I cook the vegetables.  My wife loves using the chopper and the whisk to make her fruit smoothie protein shakes and the grandkids love when she makes them milk skakes. Clean up is so much easier with this little hand mixer and chopper.  It is easy to assemble in seconds and use with it's own little plastic cup. We really have enjoyed using it and it does so much.  You can even use it in a mixing bowl for larger items like cakes.
