This chopper is small but extremely effective.  I found myself using it to chop up onions and garlic for meatballs quickly.  I also used it to chop up fresh herbs and it was extremely effective.  I have a very large food processor that is a pain to clean, but this 5 cup chopper cleans up in a breeze! I greatly appreciate that the blade and whipping attachment are stored in the cup.  When I want to use it, all of the pieces are there and I don't have to hunt around in a cabinet for the blades.  I think this chopper is small enough to be stored on the counter top, and could be used for everyday cooking.  The cord also wraps around the base so it can be stored easily in a cabinet.  My only negative opinion is how hard the lid is to open when it is new and you are unsure where to hold when twisting.
