This is the perfect size chopper and not too many pieces. I quartered half an onion and it chopped it small exactly how I was expecting. It's pretty quiet, simple to use and nice big buttons. This will be perfect chopping onions, one of the things most people hate to do. I would also use this to make salsas and sauces. I also like that this easily stores with not extra attachments to fumble with, like a traditional food proccessor.
