Food Chopper - 7 in 1 Chopper, Mixer, Blender, Whipper, Slicer, Shredder, Julienne and Juicer

A nice time saver. 3 to 5 turns make a large salad for two. Guac and salsas are a breeze. Can be served in the bowl once the blades are pulled. The big test was chopping 1 lb of chicken livers with onions and eggs for a pate. Came out nice and smooth, way better than I can do with a fork and a cleaver at a fraction of time and effort. The chopper did not break, although the turning mechanism might have been at the edge of its endurance. I may not fill it all the way to the top next time.Best multilevel blades shape and design I've seen. Easily chops 1/2 to 1 inch daikon and carrots. Top food pieces keep dropping down into the blades and mix quick and well. All the attachments work well too. No plastic smell or aftertaste. Stays put on a wooden board but will move some on a slippery counter.Surprisingly easy to clean considering the amount and shape of the parts. Nothing sticks to those plastics, so when I chop fruits, veggies and other non fat foods a quick rinse is enough. To clean oils and meats just wipe with a soapy sponge and rinse with hot water. About as easy as cleaning a fork and a knife. Won't even risk using a dishwasher.Feels like it would last years if used gently and sensibly without excessive force. It is not exactly made of titanium, but still saves a lot of time even when I work it slowly.Extra careful with the blades, especially when washing the main triple blade. All are very sharp and may cut quicker than one may feel.

We use this chopper several times a week - for many years! Because of the rounded blades it cuts so easily! I always keep a spare in the garage in case mine breaks (the only issue I ever have had is the handle breaking off but it still works without it). The blades have never gotten dull. Its just an amazing tool. I prefer it over my kitchenaid food processor because of easy set up and clean up and more control on speed so stuff doesn't get too chopped up!

We love this thing! I regularly make pico de gallo and salsa type mixes in it, we slice cucumbers, all kinds of goodies. My mother in law is visiting from Poland and is cooking nonstop, and she loves it, too, so we are buying another as a gift!

I cook twice a day, almost every day, and I love to do it. However, I don't like appliances. I don't even have a microwave. I have a manual coffee grinder and a pour-over coffee pot. I make popcorn with a hand-cranked stovetop popcorn maker. I even make whip cream with a hand whisk and a metal bowl. No kitchen stand, no hand mixer, no immersion blender, no blender at all, actually, and until I bought this thing, I had nothing that resembled a food processor, making all of my salsas, salad dressings, hummus, baba ghanoush, and various sauces by hand with a knife, a whisk, a masher, and a whole lot of patience. This not only keeps kitchen clutter to a minimum, but provides lots of opportunity for quality time with my wife, as we hang out and cook together sometimes for hours. It never feels like a chore, and because there aren't things grinding and buzzing and otherwise making a racket, it's even become the calmest room in the house.I've always known that there were hand-cranked food choppers like this one, but figured they weren't built well, were gimmicky, and because they have all those attachments, would take up too much room in my precious empty cabinets. But there are some things that I always wish I could truly blend. Tahini is my best example. Oil, sesame, blend. Very difficult to do by hand if you don't have a mortise/pestal, and I don't, but was about to buy one, when my cheese grader broke. Since this included one, and was only $20.00, I indulged.So far, I'm quite glad I did. This thing, with very little effort, blends and chops as well as any manual food processor I've used or seen, but with less noise. I'm sure it depends on what you're using it for, but I've used mine so far for salsa, guacamole, salad dressings including many with emulsified nuts and garlic, tomato sauces, pastas, and various sour-cream based dips, thanks to the paddle attachment, which is my favorite part after so many years of hand-whipped creams. The slicers are nice, too, though they make me nervous. They're quite sharp and the thing you use to push the veggies isn't foolproof and honestly doesn't always work. Still, I use them, just carefully. I've no use for julienne anything, so that one's out, but the grader is great and the slicer is, too, especially if you don't have a mandolin.So if you're like me and don't like electric appliances doing your work for you, you'll find this little guy to fit the bill nicely, without being too costly nor fancy. It's straightforward and leaves the joy in cooking in tact. My only gripe is all that plastic. Perhaps it's impossible to make the equivalent from metals and glass, but if someone ever did, I'd gladly pay 20 times what I paid for this one. But since it's plastic, $20.00 is a fine price.

4 things I was looking for1- easy cleaning... dont want food stuck in the machine.2 - versatile and even cuts... thing is suppose to save me time, not give me more work to recut stuff i already cut3 - large bowl.... so I don't have to spend time adding 1 grape tomato at a time to make salsa4 - PriceMet all my requirements.cleaning is easy 3 parts - bowl, blade, top with turner. what i like about this is there's not little spaces where food can hide and cause bacteria to grow. I do a quick rinse, soap and done. I can put it in the dishwasher, but why... cleans up fast.cuts are awesome, its by far the most even cutting food processor I have used. Of course nothing beats cutting by hand, but this puppy cut up a dozen tomatoes in 1/4 the time it takes me to do it by hand. TIP: this thing is powerful, dont turn it too many times, give it a quick shake after a couple turns and you will have even cuts.thing comes with a ton of attachements i have not tried, but the MOST important thing is the blade and bowl imho, and they work great for me.For the price, i would recommend over a full huge size food processor.
