I was able to replace several appliances with this system and save storage space in my kitchen  I used the mixer function to make my Christmas cookies and it's much more powerful than my Kitchen Aid hand mixer. I found it to be a bit heavy in the hand when using it as a mixer for any length of time though.  It's very powerful when using the other attachments too. At this price point, I would expect the chopper to be included but I had to purchase it separately.  Overall, it's really good and I highly recommend it.
