I got this for Christmas and I have used it nearly daily since. I love the adjustable slicing, and the dicing tool has cut my prep time in half. You need to watch speeds depending on what you are prepping. Some call for lower speeds, some higher or else you get uneven slices or you can jam it up. Partially freezing things like cheese is a MUST for easier grating. Clean up is pretty easy on everything except the dicing blade, a small baby bottle brush is helpful for that one, but it is a little tedious to scrub.
