My son bought me this for my birthday. I had another processor that I loved but the blade was getting dull and I was looking for a replacement.  I haven't a clue how he knew this, but I'm glad he did.  I really like the size and power of this chopper. It's neat that it also whips.  The one thing I don't like about it is that you have to hold the "button" down the whole time your are using it.  It doesn't turn on and stay on.
