It's been almost a year since I have and it still works great. The blades have not lost their edge while sometimes I really push to the limit by mixing meat or vegetables squarely to the brim. I really thought that at that price it would be toasted as soon as I switched on the maximum power. Small, compact, convenient. I recommend for those who have small kitchens like me. We can disassemble for storage or pass in the dishwasher. No need to cry while chopping onions!
