How large of a capacity is the food processor attachment? can it chop and puree garlic and smaller herbs?

Absolutely. That's one of the main reasons I love the entire set, is the "wand" and this food processor attachment. I'm an herb gardener. Diameter is 4 inches (across) and the depth of the well is 3 1/2 inches. I was so thrilled that this is now again available in the US. I have my original one with the same specs that Braun used to make for the American Market (15 years old) and works like a champ. I even make smoothies with the wand and the metal blade. (i.e. celery, garlic, dried herbs, kale etc)

yes this is a very powerful little piece of equipment.. it chops ice, frozen foods, purees food and altho I hv a smoothie maker which I purchased prior to this I hv used it for smoothies and gotten to correct consistency with a bit of added juice or water. For the $$ this is great value IMO!

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

I use it to finely grind Italian herbs. It works great. No more big hard chunks of rosemary leaf. It's awesome for quickly dressing salads.

It blends everything with both attachments. I use my food processor to chop.

It is small but I think you would need the bigger one for onions. It would do half a handful of nuts. I only use it for garlic and herbs.

It will chop onions but not the parsley. I bought the Ultra Chef Express Salsa maker and it is hands down the best! It will chop anything including herbs.

It'll chop them, but not evenly. This thing is best for pesto and other sauces, where you want a fine mince of the product.

No. There are no attachments. It is an oversized mini chopper. Onions,garlic, cheeses etc. the only way to control the size of the mincing is to pulse it less. This machine is all plastic. I returned it.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.

I have a chopper and a food processor. I like using the chopper when I chop a small amount such as a bowl of slaw but I use the processor when I have a large amount. Also the chopper is small so it does not take much space and it does a good job. I use the chopper much more than I use the processor. I do not about the ability to emulsify because I have never tried. C. Dale

Hi Tom, I did not get a chance to mix anything in this food processor. I use it once to make Guacamole and then it stopped working for good. Sorry I could not answer your question.

I don't really know as I bought this as a gift for daughter-in-law. But I will tell you that Pampered Chef has an amazing manuel food chopper that is easy to use and would do the trick. I love mine and it is easy on your hands.

Yes, but it would have to be made in very small batches. So, if you combined the ingredients in a larger container and fed the chopper incrementally, it should work. It does puree quite well. Just small amounts.

It's about 8" in diameter and 3" in depth. You can chop 3 medium onions or 4 medium green peppers or you can chop 3 stalks of celery an onion and a green pepper for soup. Not to fret, it doesn't take long to chop, just about five spins, then just fill it up again until you have chopped all you need. You will wonder how you did without this gadget for so long.

I believe this would work to make puree out of fruits and veggies ... it's just a smaller food processor as opposed to a larger one ...

It has a pulse and run speed, a disk blade that slices on one side and grates on the other and a chopper blade. I haven't tried the slicer blade with potatoes but where you feed the food in is rather small and a potato would likely have to be quartered before it could be fed into the food processor. I don't think it would be good for that purpose.
