I resisted buying a mini chopper because I couldn't justify adding one more appliance to my kitchen, no matter how small. I've been mincing with a knife for decades, so why change now? Well, I finally caved an bought this little chopper and it has been a gamechanger!! While I never found the task of chopping garlic particularly laborious, some days it was just enough that I simply couldn't be bothered. Who can understand the psyche, but now that I can can just throw however many cloves I need into this chopper I never dread the task! I really only use mine for garlic, and an occasional shallot, but I do use it daily now. Minces the garlic nicely (more cloves makes for a finer mince without having to scrape down the sides of the bowl). My only wish would've been to have a flat snap-on lid so any remainders could go into the fridge while the top stays plugged in for recharging, but this is a nitpicky detail. Not too loud, holds charge well, totally worth it to add into your tool arsenal!I use this almost everyday. If you are not preparing for a party, this stuff is really useful for daily kitchen needs especially if you often cook that needs minced or finely chopped ingredients in small amount. If you need larger quantity, you can still use this and process the ingredients by batch. In that sense, the size is just perfect. I use this usually for garlic, ginger, onion when making tuna dip or egg sandwich, for the white portion of the hard boiled egg, for fresh herbs (rosemary, oregano), and even for shredded parmesan to make it smaller. This saves my time a lot. It is easy to clean. The battery also last longer.I expected it to be bigger. But it's very small. Works fine with charging.Loved this until it died 9 months after buying. Won’t charge or run with cord attached.Update:Customer Service reached out to me and offered free replacement. It works great and couldn't be happier with the working product + great customer service here.Original Review:Used it twice within the past 6 months. Suddenly it doesn't work. I charged it for days and still not working. Don't waste the money.I loves this thing. Good for garlic, green onions, mushrooms. Be aware of the amount you put in as it may not chop it up(small portions). Easy to use & clean. Be careful of the blades as they are not connected to the top; they are loose and you might cut yourself. Handle with care. Also this thing must be charged, usb plug in cord included.Easy clean and useFácil de usar , muy buena inversión y deben tener cuidado al limpiar porque corta rápido
