Mine gets used in spurts. I'll use it every day for a couple of weeks
and then it sits for two months.

When my wife used to back it was good for chopping nits. We have a
couple of pint size plastic cups made to replace the glass container and
they can be capped to store. Also a mini food processor attachment.
That is why I bought the same brand as years later it all fits.
