I tested this by making tomato basil soup.  It handled finely chopping basil for the soup base using the purée function and also for garnish using the chop function.  I also used it to finely chop onion and I was very pleased with a fine dice that had no shredding.  
It has a small footprint so it’s easy to keep on the counter.  It washed up nicely in the dishwasher.  I particularly liked the on/off switch in the handle as it made controlling the degree of chopping easy.  A winner!
