KitchenAid Food Chopper - White

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."

We requested this "food chopper" in our wedding registry and really regret it. The chopping surface is only about two inches wide, which translates to not very much food. That is, if you could it to chop anything. About the only vegetable that doesn't jam it or get mushed into a pulp is mushrooms, and those still jam it most of the time. The blades aren't sharp enough to cut anything, except your fingers when you are trying to figure out how to wash it. Basically, you have to pre-chop your food to put it in this thing to get it chopped. Skip it--buy a nice knife and cutting board instead.

i cook with a lot of onion so i thought this would help me save time but it doesnt. small cutting area, blades are sharp enough and it is difficult to wash. i felt like it's waste of $17 ($14+tax). talk about buyers remorse and now it just sits on my counter doing nothing.
