I have had this product for a week and have used it multiple times so far. Safety locking the unit and lid in place take a bit to learn but are great for the “helping hands” I have in the kitchen learning to cook. Power is amazing. Overprocessing is easy to do so less is more when chopping vegetables. Shredding cheese (even soft cheese) is a quick process. Wish I would have gotten this years ago. Worth every penny so far.
