The device looks great: spring green, different colored cutting drums to distinguish good. Everything good to put together and to clean, to take up and running quickly. But really helpful? For nuts: Yes. For cucumbers and apples - No, I can cut just as well and more slowly by hand. There are three recipe suggestions in the manual. The apple casserole was delicious. But if I cut the apple in the machine that lasts anyway, because I previously districts must fit and not so much at one time in the filling tube, as I am slightly slower hand ... Good cleaning and replacement of the drums is straightforward and quick to accomplish. But still. So compact, the device is also space needs it anyway, in a small kitchen again a problem. And respect to the vessel that the cut and crushed nuts, vegetables and fruit fields: not too small, not too flat, otherwise it flies through the kitchen instead of in the bowl. Well thought, well done, but not really as necessary as presented.
