I love this thing, I use the chop preset mostly, with two blades, the chop on mushrooms is incredibly consistent. Since it is a timed cycle, I wasn't wondering if I should stop pushing the button the whole time. I did use the puree button today, for onions, garlic, and tomatoes. It worked as well as a blender would have, which is good, because I don't have one. Overall, kinda mad I deprived myself of this for so long. If you're thinking about getting one, buy it now, or you too will share my angSee full review
