Bought this chopped after having had wonderful experiences with 2 of the original B&D 2-speed chopper. The 2 speed chopper is a kitchen must have, but it's not longer produced. The new single speed replacement is disappointing. Going from 2 speeds to 1 forces you to pulse to control the chop size (to avoid juicing the item), the bowl is VERY difficult to remove, the instructions do not note that there is a trick (squeeze & turn) to remove the bowl. This is a problem if your hands are damp or you don't have major hand strength. Got rid of the new unit, pulled out the old one and will continue to hand sharpen the blade and pray the motor holds up. Sadly no replacement blades are available for my wonderful little chopped. Save your money and time and passt on this unit.
