I had been looking at this for months and finally bought it. I was excited when I received it and totally disappointed when I used it. I will admit, I have only had it one day so it might be user error. I tried to shred cabbage and it would not do it. I tried to dice green onions and they just spun around in the bowl. If there is a secret to doing this, they need to provide better instructions. However, if a prduct needs detailed instructions to use it, it is not a good product.
