Have used this chopper on a daily base since I got it. Putting it together was just so darn simple and clean up is even better. I have used it to chop walnut, almonds,ect I got a little baking happy. It did start to over heat just a little but a cool down for 15 minutes and your good to go again. I made a pot of my husbands favorite corn beef hash just the way his mom makes it with onions, not once did I even tear up I love it. I see myself using this for many years to come on a lot of kitchen delights.
