When I got this I didn’t think it would cut very well. It’s small and compact so how well could it cut? The answer is great! The blade didn’t smoosh anything and didn’t leave big chunks as some choppers do. I was a little comfused at first because I thought you pushed in the middle of the lid and nothing was happening. Be sure to push on the WHOLE lid to get it to work. My only complaint is that the cord is really short for my use.
