The machine is great..gives a feeling of being well made with quality parts. But it does not do everything seamlessly. When dicing, food often gets stuck and you have to use the attachment to push it down, which is quite annoying until you get the hang of it. Also when using the small chute, you need to remove the measuring cylinder which is not easy to do, especially if you have adult size fingers All that aside though, it dramatically reduces food prep time, perfectly grates and when dicing the food is diced in uniform sizes Overall i love it amd would definitely buy again
