I purchased this to replace an older model and thought I was getting a similar item but this is much more lightweight.  So - not a replacement but I'll still review it objectively.  It is inexpensive so it's components reflect the price point: lighter and flimsier.  The base is not heavy and feels somewhat unstable.  The bowl is difficult to line up and click into place, the blades's anchor is light cheap plastic and if I let it run for even an extremely short amount of time (say, to chop a few nuts) it starts overheating and a burning smell ensues.  I would say that it's only use would be for extremely light chopping jobs or perhaps making mayonaise or salad dressings. That's not enough utility for me,  so I will replace with a more expensive model that I hope will last like my original 20+year-old one which I've bequeathed to my son.
