Took this chopper out the box and and immediately put it to use. The fact that it is so compact but is mighty and packs a big punch. I absolutely love the fact that it is cordless as I can move it to where I need without the worry of needing an outlet to plug it in.  It charges super fast and the charge lasts a long time. It is very powerful and allows me to chop things in different sizes.  Both work wonderful. This chopper does both perfectly. I am in love with this chopper and have used it almost everyday since I got it.
