Great for the right person, August 1, 2003
This review is from: KitchenAid Multi Food Chopper (Kitchen)
For a person with good or even fair knife skills this is really just one more tool to wash but for the right person this is a very helpful tool.
I bought this for someone with limited use of one of her hands. Chopping was a hard thing, even using a knife was difficult. This is very helpful to her. I can see this also being good for getting when your kids help you in the kitchen.
Dry things like nuts or hard drier vegetables (broccoli, celery, etc) chop faster and more evenly because they dont *stick* to the blades. things with a higher water content (like onions and mushrooms) tend not to drop back down as well, but may stick a bit on to the blade...so you may end up with some large chunks and some teeny bits. Overall this isnt a huge problem and for the person who really benefits from this, this is really not much of an issue at all.
If your not going to wash this right away, at least rinse the little bits off of it so they don't dry on the unit or it will be very hard to clean (personal experience).
This is a great thing for the person who could benefit the most from it

So-so, I suppose, January 22, 2005
This review is from: KitchenAid Multi Food Chopper (Kitchen)
I had high hopes for this product. It's definatly not as good as I expected. I had one of these years ago from some no-name company and it worked great. After years of use and abuse, it finally broke. So I replaced it with this, thinking it would be better because it's KitchenAid. This is difficult to take apart after using-I feel like I'm going to break it. It doesn't hold very much. It's also a pain to clean, almost impossible if you don't clean it IMMEDIATLY after you use it. I used mine to chop garlic about 2 months ago and it smells like it still. In my opinion, it's just easier to use a knife.

Great gadget, January 3, 2005
This review is from: KitchenAid Multi Food Chopper (Kitchen)
Be sure to buy this one over the Zyliss - I couldn't get the Zyliss to do anything but mangle onions just a little. This Kitchenaid chopper is just fantastic. It chops very easily and very quickly, and the cleanup is just a breeze. I usually wash mine on the top rack of the dishwasher and it has always done just fine. It's fabulous for nuts too!
