We bought this chopper, as we always have had a small food processor on our counter since we married, and that’s a long time! Our “Little Oscar” broke and we thought we’d try another type, looking to increase the capacity just a bit more than our previous one. This was very similar to what we had and it fit the bill for a larger capacity while still remaining petite enough to keep out on the countertop. Its pulse action was quite efficient with strong power, and it does a great job at chopping vegetables, and also making pesto. It’s got a nice sleek appearance, which our previous one did not have and were very happy with this purchase! Good things come in small packages, and this is definitely one!
