My husband bought me this as a gift. I absolutely love this product!! It's simple to use, quick, and the diffrent blades are easy to change out. I use it for everything from coleslaw to even making milkshakes for my kids. Never have had a single issue from mine. It's deffently worth buying. If you use it 4+ times a week or if you only use it a few times a year (like around the holidays) I think it will last forever either way.
