I am afraid of sharp objects such as knives so this came in handy so well, It charges and cut my spice and herbs so that I can cook! Initially, I thought it was a press and click thing but I have to hold onto the power button for it cut stuff. Maybe I am doing it wrong but hey I am still happy! It's easy to clean afterwards as well, ie the blades and container. I took a little while initially charging it for the blue led to be showing, it's a bit hard to see in regular light (night or day) but it is easy to spot in darker areas. I would recommend it.
