I found this totally worthless. I'd try and chop up just a few small pieces of leftover meat and potato and it made a mess. There is no handle so no place to put your hands except on the bowl if you need to remove it and add something else to the processor. The motor is powerful but it is so difficult to handle this thing without a handle that my hands slipped and I had to wipe them off every time before I could do a second batch if I wanted to do it. If you need a mini processor, get one with a handle. I was very disappointed in this mini processor.
