I’ve had this chopper for about one month now and have used it several times. It replaced a two cup Kitchen Aid chopper. The unit itself is a nice size and weight. The cord wraps around the bottom. It slips together easily. It does not work unless you line everything up correctly and click it into place which is a safety feature. The blade is not fixed and does fall out when you empty the contents.  The chopper feature is great. It actually does chop instead of smash. It also has a purée feature. I’m very pleased with the unit. It is a very handy five cup size is perfect for my needs. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
