I bought this product for my mom, and here's here review: The chopper I was using finally stopped working. It was the second one my son bought me and both were the same brand and model. I told my son that I wanted to try a different brand this time because the second one did not really work as well as the first one. My son did a search on Amazon and found this chopper. He read the features and so on, and I said I would like to try it. He ordered it for me as a gift. To my pleasant surprise, when I received it, it came with a stainless steel bowl, a glass bowl, and two sets of blades. In comparison, the bowl of my old chopper was plastic and had only one blade. The glass bowl is heavy and thick; very sturdy. The stainless steel bowl is the same size and sturdy as well. It came with one lid. The instructions state that the chopper can chop meat. I didn't believe it, so I put it to the test. I bought a large chunk of pork to make several types of dishes. My son and I tried the chopper not expecting it to do much of anything for chopping meat. To our surprise, the chopper did a superbly great job, and without straining! It chopped the meat more like in a meat grinder in a matter of a couple of minutes. Wow! We had ground pork! We couldn't believe it. The chopper worked as well if not better than the meat grinder I have. It also is more convenient. I also used this chopper to make salsa. I threw in half of a large onion that I cut into a few pieces, half a can of diced tomatoes with habaneros, cilantro, cumin, sea salt, garlic, garlic powder, and crushed tomatoes. The chopper chopped up everything in only a few seconds, not even half a minute. It was super fast; the blades are so sharp. I added the ingredients to two large cans of crushed tomatoes that were already in a large mixing bowl. I repeated the first steps to add more ingredients and had the salsa made in a matter of minutes. It would have taken longer using my existing smaller chopper that I bought after I got rid of the one that stopped working. It is nice that the chopper comes with two sets of blades. One has two blades that are attached and the other has two blades that are seperated. At first, I was wondering why the blades were separated until I used the chopper the other day to make gumbo. I needed to chop a large onion, two bell peppers, and celery. I knew how well the double blade worked and I didn't want to pulverize the veggies. I decided to try just one single blade. It's a good thing I did. Using a single blade, the ingredients were chopped in a couple of seconds. Had I used the double blade, I'd be having veggie puree!!! I love this chopper. It is so powerful that it cuts the preparation time by more than a half the time. The quality is even better than all the choppers I've owned in the past. The price is great, especially for everything that comes with the set. My son and I are very impressed with this product. It's actually kind of fun to watch how fast the thing chops. Just don't press the button down too long or you'll have soup! The only thing I wished it had is a longer cord, but I still give this chopper 5 stars. Thank you Ganiza for a great product that I will enjoy using for a long time.
