I have had mixed results with Kitchenaid products lately but this chopper has been working great.
I'm not much for specialized appliances - I usually just chop by hand. I got it to mince asparagus for my cat (he now lacks teeth) and I got tired of doing it manually, but I wound up using it so much that my cutting board gets much less use now. It's great for pizza toppings, soup, etc. If you precut veggies into 1-2 inch pieces and use short bursts, you can get just about any size pieces you like, down to a fine mince. If you want large pieces you just have to be quick, because it's very fast.
It can also make GREAT hash browns, with potatoes, red or green peppers, onions, etc. So flavorful due to the fine chop. I just put it in a convection toaster oven at 400 with a little olive oil and bake it, stirring a few times, very easy.
Disassembly/reassembly is very easy and usually I just run the parts under water to clean, giving it a soapy wash every week or two. I haven't had any issues with the gasket coming off (as another reviewer said).
Also makes great salsa and guacamole.
I've used this at least once a day for 8 months, for things as hard as carrots and broccoli stems, and as soft as mushrooms and tomatoes. I use short bursts, and the motor seems ample. Nice size, but I'm not sure how it would handle heavy liquids, which may be a bit much for the motor - I wouldn't treat this as a food processor. It's a chopper.

great little unit
I've gone through so many of the smaller food choppers, not really wanting to spend money on something I should just be able to do for free with knives I already own. BUT, I finally laid out a little more, not much, for this KitchenAid chopper and am really happy with it! The first thing I did was toss an onion in, to dice it for some sauce I was making. I worried the onion might become too liquid or the pieces too small, but in fact it was perfectly diced for my needs (see photo). I've also put this to use making salsa and it does a great job with that, perfectly chopping the onion, tomato, cilantro, garlic, and jalapeno, retaining the chunkiness while still blending the flavors. I like the size of the bowl, too - just big enough to toss in a can or two of tomatoes to make salsa!It does take a little getting used to, not having a handle to hold onto when tightening down or taking off the bowl. I think it's actually a benefit to not have the handle, though- makes storage of the processor much easier as it is more streamlined.
