This is now my most favorite little machine.  It does just what lt promises to do!  This little gadget is going to help me cut down my meal prep time.  As soon as this arrived I had to try it, so I got a radish and watched while the machine did it's job. And boy did it do what it claims.  The reason why I am giving it only 4 stars is because, even after reading the manual it took us all day to figure out how to put everything together in the w to get it to work.  Sometimes we'd get it to run and get all excited as it chopped the radish.  And then we went to use the grind side.  This is when we could get it to work no matter what we did.  We tried taking it apart and putting it together doing what we thought was how to put it together. After many attempts my darling hubby finally figured out, the lid has to be put on in an order and we kept putting it up wrong.  So if your getting frustrated, try turning the lid around.
