This chops very quickly and blends food evenly. I don't have to worry much about food getting stuck near the top and missing the blades. The dual blade means all the food gets to the blade. It's also easy to clean, since the blade and the cylinder it is on come out fully. The downside is the need to remove two pieces in order to add ingredients. You need to remove the motor from the top, and then the lid. I wish there were a feeder where I could add new ingredients in. Also wish the food processor part were larger.
