I had this chopper along the Kenwood unit for Christmas and I've used 2 times. this is very practical except that the top plate rotates together with the propeller there is no longer enough meat. I'm looking forward to this summer in order to make bbq sausages with real house to test this possibility. in addition this device is very easy to clean and store. the only concern is that we must be careful that the tip of the propeller is well in front of the slot when it is inserted.
