Cuisinart Food Chopper, Black Review

Cuisinart Food Chopper, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the worst piece I own by Cuisinart. I generally like their products but this thing stinks. My girlfriend bought me this for X-Mas (after I picked it out!). Let me say that I would give it negative stars if possible. I now have to waste time and fuel to drive it back to the store to recuperate the cost. The thing fell apart after 1/8 of an onion--which is, btw, all the space this thing has to chop. Was not sharp enough to cut through the tougher, outer onion layer. P-l-e-a-s-e! I took it all the way apart to see what could possibly "jam" a manual food chopper. I noticed that the blade piece unscrewed from the hand piece. No problem, right? Wrong, wrong! The pieces would not stay together. Needless to say that it almost ruined X-Mas once my girlfriend had to go digging through the trash for the receipt . . .

This is my husband's favorite kitchen gadget. He loves homemade salsa and I used to make it for him on special occasions. Then he saw this demonstrated at a hunting show and he bought one. He uses it at least once a week to make pico de gallo. I'm happy because I don't have to make the salsa anymore and he loves this thing. We are buying one for each member of our family this christmas. He's had his for a year now and it's still going strong.

Durable, stainless rotating blades uniformly chop veggies, nuts and cooked meats in seconds. Chop onions without a single tear! A flexible cap doubles as a chopping board. Handier than a food processor and much easier to clean. Dishwasher safe.

This is a great chopper, I use it to cut big chunks of vegetables for vegi soup, Tiny peices of celery, egg, and pickles for Tuna salad, minced onions and garlic for frying. I've had it for about three years now and it still chops like a champ ! I don't think it's that hard to clean, mostly I just take it apart and rinse it, but if it gets sticky it is dishwasher safe. I do most of my chopping with it and keep it on the countertop close at hand.

One of the best choppers on the market. It completely comes apart and cleans easily. The blades never dull and when chopping onions, no odor creeps into your eyes. It is so easy to operate, even with arthritic hands. Makes a great gift that any new chef will use every day.

Oxo Good Grips Chopper Review

I have had this product for almost 3 months now. It was purchased from Bed Bath & Beyond. It works awesome for choppping and dicing garlic for me but when it has come to onions it's been a waste of time and I've reverted back to doing onion chopping by hand. The blade isn't sharp enough to go through the depth of a quartered onion. It leaves a lot of wasted pieces. I've tried many different ways to cut the onions in a way that this little chopper will work for me and it's been without success.
Cleaning isn't difficult but could be a lot easier. For cleaning, the whole item needs to be broken down into 5 pieces for cleaning. I wash it by hand. Seems safe enough for the dishwasher top shelf but because of the way the blades are shaped I don't think dishwasher cleaning is thorough.
It comes with a little scooping spoon. The spoon doesn't sit well in the holes that it is supposed to rest in and keeps falling off.
I'm not happy that it doesn't chop red/white/yellow onions well which is what I bought it for.
I'm looking to replace it in the near future. I would recommend another brand because the quality of the blades, the price and the scoop spoon being awkward sitting on the product have been irritations to me.
I do give it a good rating for durability however.

KitchenAid Pro Food Chopper Review

KitchenAid Pro Food Chopper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review applies to the White version of this unit, however except for color there are no other differences.
Expectation management is important when dealing with these mini-choppers. I have a Vidalia Chop Wizard which is perfect for large amounts of various vegetables, onions, etc. If you only need a small amount this food chopper is both convenient and useful. However you must limit the size of the food you are chopping to perhaps a one to one and one half inches in length and probably no more than about 3/4 of an inch in height. You must also pound the unit with some force to get it to really work effectively. I have carefully watched the Slap Chop infomercial ($27.95 with shipping and handling and an additional $7.95 S&H for the "Graty") and with camera angles that commercial creates a bit of a false sense of just what these products can and can't do. Several people have commented on how difficult this unit is to clean. The cleaning instructions on the box say "Remove container ring and carefully wash with soap and water." This has to be the most misleading and dumb instruction ever! The unit easily disassembles however the instructions on the box offer no assistance whatsoever.
What you need to do is first separate the food container from the unit by twisting the clear plastic container counterclockwise about one inch then pull down. This separates the food container from the cutting unit. Next depress the plunger approximately 3/4 of the way and then twist the sweeper/cover to the right or left pulling down until it separates from the remaining unit. This exposes the blades. You are now fully disassembled and ready to quickly clean and reassemble the unit.
The unit is dishwasher safe (top of DW only). You can use the unit with or without the base however with the base on the unit the food is all captured in the food container rather than on the cutting board.
From my observation this unit appears to be essentially a quality copy of the Pampered Chef chopper at about 1/2 the price. It uses a W wedge blade that rotates and also includes a scraper for the side of the food container unit so that the food doesn't build up on the side. This does not work perfectly but is a nice touch. With a litle practice and with the food size limitation mentioned above you can quickly learn the various techniques required for each of the foods you wish to chop. With a little more practice and some good camera angels who knows, you might end up doing a "Slap Chop" commercial for your friends only with a unit that costs less and works just as well. Just don't throw it over your back into the sink.
To recap, this is a very good mini chopper so long as your expectations are in line with the product's capabilities. However, KitchenAid needs to do better with their disassembly/cleaning instructions.

I bought my Mom this smaller-sized chopper for nuts, herbs, onions & scallions.
The good news: It chops evenly and efficiently, with a comfy plunging action.
The bad news: you have to take the entire chopper apart in order to clean it properly. There are multiple interior pieces and lots of nooks and crannies where food particles get trapped. And if you miss anything, it will mold in place (yuck.) We regularly needed hot soapy water, a toothbrush and about 10 minutes of scrubbing to clean everything out.
OXO has a deservedly great reputation for kitchen gadgets; this one needs a redesign for simplicity and easier cleaning.

The OXO Good Grips Mini Chopper is smaller and more efficient for fine dicing, so you can make easy work of tasks like chopping garlic. With a simple press of the soft knob, the blades rotate, ensuring even chopping. An internal soft bumper absorbs shock to increase comfort and reduce sound. Chop ingredients in the enclosed cup with its soft, non-slip base, or remove the base and chop directly on a cutting board. A tab rotates within the cup to prevent food from accumulating on the side walls. The entire blade cartridge can be removed from the chopper by simply unscrewing it, so clean up is a breeze. Rails and alignment notches on the blade cartridge make it easy to place back into chopper after cleaning. Best, the chopper is dishwasher safe.

Zyliss, 10700, Easy Chop Food Chopper with Smart Base
The Zyliss Easy Chop can chop and mince foods into the smallest of pieces with ease. The more you press, the smaller the pieces. Onions can be minced so finely that they are nearly undetectable by sight in sauces but still add desired flavor. And, onion odors are contained! The new design, however, means that I can no longer use the Easy Chop on my cutting board as I did with the older model. All foods must be inserted in the Smart Base before chopping. The rubber bottom on the Smart Base does help prevent slipping and reduces noise but I question how long it will last with repeated washings in the dishwasher. Only time will tell.

Zyliss has set the standard for top quality food choppers and this go-to chopper is no exception! The precision 18/10 stainless steel blade operates like 5 knives in one. It rotates automatically for smooth, even chopping while the wiper blades act as a cleaning device. With the addition of a cushioned smart base, delicate foods are easy to chop and motion shock to the hand is reduced.

Norpro Stainless Steel Vegetable Chopper Review

Norpro Stainless Steel Vegetable Chopper
Average Reviews:

It chops garlic (skin on), jalapeno, and other hot chilli peppers brilliantly without leaving the harsh scent on your hands. Unfortunately, the blades are too flimsy and too dull to cut anything else. When I attempted to chop an onion, the blades merely bruised the onion, or left pieces of onion lodged between the blades. This even occurred after cutting the onion into smaller pieces, as recommended by other users. The compartment space is small, and the cap on the bottom of the compartment prevents the blades from working properly. In order to use this product effectively, you must remove the cap, and use a cutting board (thereby releasing the scent of whatever you are chopping, and rendering the cap feature useless). Unless using this solely for the purposes of chopping garlic, scallions, jalapeno, and the like, I would not recommend this product.
