Well, may be it's just my over-expectations :)

Seriously - I am still chopping vegetables manually.

This thing is good to make a mess or puree of anything you have.

You can use it sometimes if you cook for yourself only and don't mind the look of results, although even in this case you will arguably spend more time cleaning the chopper.

So, honestly, you don't want this. Buy a good knife or a grater.

I purchased this chopper because it was oversized and stainless steel. The chopper is hard to get apart once you've used it and the chopping action isn't good at all. My previous chopper was a Zyliss and I wish I had gone with another of that brand. The one nice feature, if you can put up with all the bad, is that it doesn't warp in the dishwasher. Unfortunately, my experience with this chopper wasn't a good one and I should have returned it while I could.

Wish I never bought it. Vegetables get stuck to the inside of the blades, plus its difficult to clean the chopper. I say stick to knives and cutting boards, or find a better chopper.

I bought this to save time in chopping up various types of nuts for my breakfast cereal. It works well for that allowing me to decide when they are cut sufficiently small but not pulverized. We thought it should be great for cutting up veggies for salads but decided it doesn't work so well for that. It also requires a fairly substantial thumping with the palm of your hand to make it cut through harder foods. A user with small hands may not like it for that reason.
The most peculiar part of our experience was that when we first put it together we had the blades partially blocked so they would not go all the way down. I showed it to several others and we all decided that it was a bad design and I was about to return it. Then I tried putting it together again and this time it worked perfectly. To date we have never been able to make it work incorrectly again.
