This is a waste of money. Blades are dull. You practicaly have to hit it to chop a quarter of an onion. Try to grate cheese? Forget that, the blades are so dull all you'll manage to do is break the block of cheese. The lid doesn't stay or lock on the top, so you constantly fight that when you lift the handle. These things are a piece of junk, and my recommendation is to stay away from buying one.
