I really was expecting this to be a great product. Then I put it together and used it.  The holding container has no locking mechanism and neither does the lid. They both just sit on the body part of it. There are holes in the lid, which I don't understand because anything you put in it with liquid just spits out the holes. The lid has to be held down to stay on. Also, I had to keep stopping it and stirring it because it didn't rotate the stuff being chopped.  I would not recommend this product unless these flaws are fixed. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
