People who buy the wrong things for the wrong purpose and leave a negative review, do a great disservice to potential buyers. If you are comparing it to a large food processor which chops and mixes large volumes of hard stuff like nuts, then you are making an unfair comparison. This is where this little machine excels. I chop onions and other vegetables practically every day. USE IT FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE and you will love it. I highly recommend this little power-packed chopper. I've only had this little chopper for about a month, so I'll come back and update in six months, or so, but I've had so much luck with my Ninja Bullet blender and I use it almost everyday, so I don't foresee any motor problems with the chopper. I cook a lot and this makes food preparation so much simpler. All-in-all, I like the Ninja Express Chopper even better than my dearly departed Cuisinart chopper. It protects the bottom of the chopper and prevents it from sliding across your counter when chopping. One last cool feature - the non-slip base on the food container. I've found that a quick rinse in hot water is usually sufficient if I need to use the chopper again. It also performed well when I made homemade mayonnaise. As I said - pulse only unless you're looking to make something like almond paste/butter. This little unit ground blanched almonds into smooth almond paste in under 30 seconds, and that includes the time it took to remove the lid and scrape down the sides with a small silicone spatula. After chopping, lift off the motor and you'll find a little flip-lid that closes to seal the food you've just chopped. The lid has a small hole in the top, which allows the motor assembly to fit directly on the blade assembly. The best part is the lid that fits on the chopping container and allows you to chop without getting the underside of the motor part messy. The power and the blade configuration are excellent, but that's not even what I like the best about this littlest Ninja product. The blade configuration eliminates uneven chopping that can happen in processors that only have blades at the bottom. The key to the Ninja Chopper's success is four staggered blade, each one approximately 1/2-inch above the one below. A few short bursts is all you need to finely mince a large onion. Instead, "pulse" the large button on the top. I was not disappointed but let me share one caveat - don't go wild chopping or you'll end up with a pulverized product. I've owned the Ninja Bullet blender for a couple of years, so I hoped the Express Chopper would pack the same powerful punch. After reading the positive reviews, I thought.why not? I had a large dinner coming up, which meant a lot of onion-, tomato- and celery-dicing. I bought this to replace a 3-Cup Cuisinart processor that had served me well for nearly a decade of use before finally giving up. I'm very happy with this little processor.
