The crusher is quickly ready to chop vegetables or nuts. An onion and 1/2 red pepper I mince faster than snip of hand - for my meatballs recipe. The cleaning will be simple.
Note: For the really hard stuff, so ice cubes, nuts and Parmesan cheese (for pesto) I would HR1670 / 90 Philips recommend. --- This here Philips HR1641 / 05 is identical to the operation of the Philips HR1670 / 90 SpeedTouch hand blender 800W, 1 liter jug, titanium / knife black / red - but has not this ultra sharp blades.
