3.0 out of 5 stars A little fragile, November 29, 2006

We bought this slicer last year at a specialty kitchen store. It does exactly what it needs to, and is pretty easy to clean up. However, the construction wore out after about six months worth of use. The blades actually popped out of the assembly while chopping a particularly hard piece of produce. All in all I wouldn't recommend it for anything harder than an onion or potato.

3.0 out of 5 stars has shortcomings, April 28, 2008

I purchased this based on the positive reviews and high rating it received. I think it was a little inflated. You have to be sure to take off the top rubbery layers of the onion as it won't cut through them very well. Then you have to wiggle it back and forth to get it to cut because it's not a very sturdy product. Also, if you push down too quickly, the onion pieces will spring out onto the counter. I do like the little insert that goes on the non-cutter side, which makes it easier to clean. I would not recommend using this product for anything harder than an onion. I like it better now that I figured out the quirks, but you should know up front that it's got some problems

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't live without my Alligator, February 11, 2008

This review is from: Alligator AG1 Onion / Vegetable Dicer (Kitchen)

I've had the same Alligator for about 4 years, I use it almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and it's holding up great. I will tell you - for the easiest operation, you need to cut larger onions into quarters instead of halves. Some people (like my sister) hate it, but I think they are being too gentle when operating it. In order to get the Alligator all the way through the onions, I have to whack it as hard as I can about 3-4 times (I am not especially large or strong), holding my hand or a cup over the grate so the onion won't fly everywhere. I can fully dice a whole onion in less than a minute!
