The capacity is just the right size for me. Although small it is powerful. You can control how finely chopped you want the foods by pressing or tapping on the handle of the cover. As per the notes in the care book, do not keep the motor running continuously for over a minute.There is no on and off switch or button. It is to easy take apart to clean. The Chopping Guide that comes with it has helpful information. Due to its size it can be stored away just about anywhere or left on the counter top without taking up too much space.The one thing I dislike about it is that it is very, very loud.
