Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Zyliss, the Swiss maker of quality kitchen accessories, has ingeniously redesigned the chopper with ease of use in mind. Ingredients placed in the clear plastic receptacle at the bottom are chopped by depressing the plunger at the top--the more frequently the plunger is depressed, the finer the food will be chopped. Its stainless-steel blade automatically rotates so that the contents are chopped evenly, while the plastic container can be removed and covered with its own air-tight lid to keep minced ingredients fresh before usage. Clean this kitchen gem immediately after use by simply twisting off the lower part of the device and rinsing the blade under running water. --Pamela Zytnicki

Ready to chop?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zyliss Chopper with Cup (Kitchen)
Chopping is a breeze with the Zyliss chopper with cup. I was happy with the product until it came time to clean the chopper. It is pretty difficult to clean. I admit it was kinda scary trying to clean up inside the sharp blades. But over all this chopper was not going back to the store. The time you save is worth it, not to mention my burning eyes when I'm chopping onions is gone. This thing chops everything from nuts to ice to potatoes. But then I just found the other day the new improved "Zyliss COMFORT food chopper." It's a big improvement to this one. Clean up is a cinch now that the sides open to give you full access to the blades and it even comes with a sturdy bendable chopping mat. I know there are a few other imitation choppers out there but now I'm completly satisfied that I own the best of the choppers. The only reason I gave the Zyliss chopper with cup a 3 was because the improved version is just so much better.

More Work than it is Worth,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zyliss Chopper with Cup (Kitchen)
I was so excited to buy this product and prevent my eyes from tearing when chopping onions.However, I found the product not to be that useful. The width often does not fit my onions, the blades are not that sharp to cut through the layers of onions (don't even bother to try it on basil), and it is sooooo hard to clean. How do you get bits of onion off the blades that are sharp and retract into the base of the Zyliss? I recommend a knife or a mini-cuisinart instead.

This review is from: Zyliss Chopper with Cup (Kitchen)
You know those commercials for the chopping gadget? Bang, bang, bang and you have mouth-watering something-or-other, right? Well I don't know how well those work, and given the price I'm inclined to think they barely do, but I can tell you that the Zyliss is kind of a disappointment.The unit comes with the chopper, which is a zig-zag blade and a plunger handle with a spring. Press down and the blade goes down, let go and it retracts into the plastic barrel. A plastic cap fits over the blades so that when you chop, the plastic pushes bits of food off the blades as they retract. Pretty clever huh? The chopping is done in a little cup. And I mean little! It holds maybe half a cup of food. That's okay, I didn't figure to use this for big jobs, so I wasn't really worried about it. Chopped onion, tomato, olives, etc. for things like tacos were what I had in mind. Unfortunately the Zyliss has blades that just aren't very sharp. It will chop tomatoes, or rather, turn them into tomato salsa, and it chops olives pretty well, but herbs just get mashed down into the bottom of the cup. Most jobs require opening the unit, fluffing the food and then chopping again. You get better chopping action when you remove the plastic blade guard, but then food migrates up into the body of the chopper and scraping it out should NOT be done with your fingers. A chopstick is good for this job. On the whole, I'm kind of neutral about this item. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it but I wouldn't not recommend it either if you have jobs that require just a bit of chopping (or smushing) It's convenient and it does do the job. Just not as cleanly and quickly as I'd hoped.
