Me and my wife normally use this for chopping and grinding veggies and mixing everything in at one go. Definitely works as expected. We don't normally use this frequently so I cannot really comment on its durability for daily grinding use. The built and design is quite average. Nothing fancy and suits our needs. It's also easy to clean and dry which is quite important for us. This model comes with a good number of useful attachments, but as of now have not used all of them. A definitely a good pick at its price.

The main beef is the blender. The blender bowl has a shelf just above the blender blades. As a result, dry/semi-dry food cannot drop down into the blades and the blades spin with no effect.
Add liquid (but for pesto you do not want too much oil) and food starts to drop down. Fine if you want wet food such as soups but no good for drier blends.
Appears good in promotions, but do not bother purchasing.
