This was an ok food chopper. As the description says, it has a 1.5 cup capacity. If you are processing liquids, the recommended capacity is only 3/4 cup.I've only used this once so far - to make hummus - so the mixture was pretty thick and there was a lot of opening the chopper up to mix things up and add ingredients (there is no opening to add stuff as chopper is on); this was a bit of a hassle and rather time consuming.I dumped the whole can of chick peas in, so the chopper was full. Maybe it would have been easier to puree & mix everything if I had stuck to the recommended capacity. But in the end everything turned out alright.
I'm sure it'll chop nuts, vegetables well enough, but you may have to mix things in the chopper yourself to get an even consistency, and chop things in smaller batches. You'll also probably have to make sure things can fit into the processor (quarter tomatoes, onions, etc. first).
This is a good item if you need smaller portions (ideal for a single person) and don't use it a lot.If you're cooking for several people, or use a food processor a lot, spend your money on a better food processor with more capacity and options. Clean up was pretty easy- only 3 small pieces to wash, and the entire thing is small where it can be easily stored.I got this for $7 at a local store, and honestly, I don't think it's worth more than $10. Given the cheap price I bought it for, and the frequency I'll probably use it, this was a good deal.
