This chopper is fine, I mainly use it to mix the puree of my babies and it does very well his office. I like the glass bowl (which decided my purchase because I do not want to put warm food in plastic ... ... bisphenols). Operation is simple, not too noisy engine (although it's still a blender, the sound is quite serious, less painful than the one I had before). By cons I regret that the metal stem that supports the blade is not removable, and the cover is not a form easier for washing (so impractical corners washing by hand, hollow and therefore the 2 sides absolutely right to put in the dishwasher or it retains the dirty wash water) and that's why I have put "only" 4 stars. But overall I am very satisfied with my purchase (rare enough glass bowl to forget these minor defects) and I would recommend to a friend.
