...really, I did.  I am a loyal Oxo customer and nearly everything in my kitchen is from either the Good Grips or the SteeL product line.  I was really excited to use this on the fresh herbs I grew in my garden...but it just flat out doesn't work.  It pains me to give an Oxo product only one star, but honestly, the thing is worthless.  I'd give it zero stars if I could.  Even apart from the fact that the blades do absolutely nothing, it's also extremely difficult to re-assemble it after you take it apart to clean it.  It's really just a big disappointment on multiple levels and it's currently taking up space in my drawer.
