First off, if you are chopping a large quantity of things this may not be the product you want to use. However, I find it's a great size for preparing the types of things I usually make. One thing to remember is to not try to chop large pieces of things. Cut them into smaller sizes and the chopper works wonderfully. Usually a medium size onion I will chop into about 6 pieces before dicing it. Today I diced celery and onions. And sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. I have carpel tunnel in my hands and doing this by hand would be harder and painful. The chopper takes me about a quarter of the time it would take to do it manually and I find it much easier. Once you get the hang of it it's simple to use. I like the variety of blades you get with it. It's easy to clean except the veggies stick in the crevices of the top of the dicer part. They give you a tool to help with this. I don't usually like having a lot of kitchen gadgets sitting around but this is one of the best and most useful products I've bought in a long time. I have a mandolin made by Pampered Chef that doesn't even compare to this one and cost a lot more money. The only addition I would make is a blade that allows you to make slices a little thicker than the one that is included. I get this product more then two week, I have been using them triple times already. It's works great,So many different parts together, and I spent a lot of time to figure out how to use them.I tried the flat slicer and it worked great for carrot and green sweet onion.There is safe storage for all blades. The big storage container fits in the right area to catch all the spiralized food and has a lid so you can store the food in it. The superior, lockable suction cup works great. I had so much fun using this kitchen multi tool, I played with it for over an hour. The sliver is awesome, however, I wouldn't advise using for tomatoes or if you want thicker slices; it slices pretty thin. I had some trouble dicing a small white onion, I will probably cut it into smaller pieces next time. I didn't try using potatoes yet, but i imagine that it might be difficult considering my experience dicing onion with it. It worked amazing for eggs, strawberries, cucumbers, and baby carrots (2-3 at a time). I even used it to cut up lunch meat to make chefs salad. Perfect Chopper for my small apartment !We don't have that many outlets in our kitchen and this is perfect for me because I don't have to plug it in at all.Don't underestimate the power to chop of this one manual chopper ! It will get the job done !It's super easy to take apart to clean and the blades are sharp, good for onions and herbs chopping ! I was a skeptic, but this little chopper is amazing, it does exactly what it says. This is a very simple chopper to use and does its intended job well. I bought this for my wife and she loves it! My wife uses it in the morning to fix his breakfast, she uses the chopper for his veggies.She has so far chopped the following things:-onions-peppers-chicken-tomatoesThis one is a number one kitchen tool, I highly recommend it Best chopper found so far. Very durable with variable chopper blades. My wife loves the assortment of chopper blades that cut and mince just about anything imaginable. Customer service (Victoria) is deserving of 6-stars. One of the best CSR that we have ever had the pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend this product and its distributor. This product is incredibly craft and useful, I have got it for few days and have already used twice, to chop the onion and carrot, and am very surprised that it did a perfect job, also it's easy to clean. I decide to purchase one more this product for my mom, she will love it as I do. Thank you, I will highly recommend this to my friends who loves cooking :-) I love how this machine comes with so many pieces to cut, dice, shred, and etc. all in one. Putting the pieces together was pretty easy too. This will definitely become a staple item in my house for cooking. Ish I'd bought one of these sooner!
