I love KitchenAid products and the 5 cup cordless chopper did not disappoint. First, the chopper is quality made, yes it is made if plastic but it is strong and sturdy. It is so easy to use, put your basil, pine nuts, cheese, garlic, olive pil and salt and pepper, pulsate a couple of times and you have pesto. Also works great for homemade fresh salsa.  You can whip up some cream, grate cheese, homemade peanut butter, humus, the list goes on. I can’t believe I have lived this long without it.  And easy clean up, top rack of of dishwasher. KitchenAid has such dependable products. Love love love this chopper.
