This unpretentious little chopper is practical, takes hardly any space, but its biggest problem is that it is very poorly designed !!! First and last test to make eggplant caviar: even putting the cover so-called "protective" between the tank and the engine block, the aubergine projections are passed through the gaps and along the hub, it has disgusting all the white portion in contact with the "protector" lid and it is embedded in the interstices between the rotation axis and the rest of the block! No seal between the compartments, chopper purchased for practical reasons is actually an unnamed galley soon as one is used, complete cleaning is not possible, then at least we do not take offense if the food remains stuck in our utensils and kitchen accessories, I strongly advise against this purchase ... !!!
