I was for some reason imagining the chopper to be much bigger and substitute my regular chopper that I use in my kitchen. However this is small and kind of tiny. It is good for slicing and cutting vegetables for 1-2 person family and 1 meal. That said, the blades are sharp and cut through the vegetables easily and in clean cuts. So it does what it's supposed to do, you just need to use it lots if you need to chop more. The dishwasher safe part makes it easy to clean. So another positive there.
