Does it chop things up with sharp blades (into pulp) or it just "mixes" things up nicely?

the mixer isn't a food processor, however you can purchase the attachments to allow you to grind meat and other foods.

Hello, yes, it's both faster and pulpier. It also puts less strain on the juicer. It's a nice addition.

I cannot answer that, but it does have a ratio that seems to work well for everything from "chunking" food to cutting a very fine chop, depending on the cranking speed and length of cranking.

I have not done that, but it is wonderful for all the things I use it for such as for soups and anything else otherwise requiring chopping. You have to be careful not to over pulse it as it will actually liquefy things. Saves a great deal of time. Great kitchen tool.

Answer by S Bryson is spot-on....the shredding blade is great for hash browns, shredded cheese, carrots etc... the slicing blade is great for fried potatoes, sliced veggies (hard ones) not so much for soft ones like tomatoes.... we use this blade for making sauerkraut..it just blasts through a ton of cabbage in short order......the dough blade is great for kneading bread or mixing the lightest scone batter....the metal blade can chop nuts by pulsing, or make nut butters by constant running.....we are very pleased with out Cuisinart. I have had three and each one was bigger than the last..AND they all still work....play with it and enjoy!!

You do get some pulp. This juicer is excellent at squeezing everything out of your veggies. You get so many enzymes and vitamins out from your squeezed, high quality juice that pulp is not necessary or needed. The juice goes right into your bloodstream. You can get all the pulp you want from a blender and your nutri bullet. You get different results. Juice utilizes more veggies and gets absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and a smoothie with pulp doesn't utilize many veggies and goes to your stomach to be digested. I don't suggest putting the dried pulp back in cause your extracted juice has everything you need....even fiber.

It comes with a strainer that you use after juicing. It gets rid of all the pulp so the juice is smooth.

It will blend and pulverize those items. However, I replaced it twice because it stopped working. Once after a week and once after two days. Stay away a from this and go buy the cuisinart. It is great.

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

yes, it ejects the pulp in to the black waste bin, and it is amazing! I put plastic bags in as well for super fast clean up!

I haven't used the chopping function -- not sure there is one but I suppose you could try. It's a blender so does great at pulverizing. For any chopping I use my knife...and in some small instances will use food processor.

It comes pretty sharp. Its not razor sharp, but it'll definitely cut through a good amount of materials.

It's better than a juicer, it blends everything. I put vegetables and fruit and it blends them with ease...

It will chop it into small pieces. However, it does come with a small mandolin attachment that might work. I usually quarter a cabbage and use a chef's knife to cut the cabbage in thin strips. It's pretty easy and quick.

It's does a great job. I've added fruit to some of my frozen mixed drinks and it chops it up really good. I've even used it to make dips too

no, but the one blade is very sharp and does a very good job of chopping, coarse or fine, or almost a paste if you want.I did white sugar and strips of lemon peel zest the other day and it did great.

The faster speed does puree the food to a smoother texture, while the other leave some chunks in it but it all depends on how long you keep the knob turned. I didnt cut anything if i steamed it first, if i didnt steam then yes i chopped. It will puree ANYTHING
