This food chopper would be good if it works as it is supposed to do. Without any food in it, the chopper will turn 1/8 rotation at evey chop as featured. But once any food is placed, it becomes difficult to push it down, as the blades are not very sharp. Moreover, it does not turn most of the times. I had to carefully half press it sometimes, in order to make it turn. Hence, if I am not careful, the food (I use it to mince garlic most of the times) remains as very big pieces, as the blades have cut it in only one or two places.

The other design issue I have with this is that it is a huge problem to clean it. The blades do not come out, and I had to push the blade with my hand to keep it extended in order to clean it under jet of water. I don't think the blades will clean at all in a dishwasher. As a result, it is not very clean after six months of use and it smells heavily of garlic, the only thing I use it to cut, and hence I could not use it to chop any other food.

Easy to wash, nice sharp blades. The blades are a little hard to clean safely when bits get caught, but mostly it just washes out in water. Chopping isn't that even but it does a good job if you keep shaking between the chopping. Does a great job with nuts and hard things, not quite so good with softer things (like bell pepper). Overall, well worth the cost.

I had a similar product years ago and it lasted ages. I finally had to replace it with this one. Most people like to use the electric food processors but with the press of a button in seconds my onions and peppers and tomatoes are chopped and can be added to meals of salad. No added expenses to my already high utility bill.

Don't waste your $10.00 on this chopper....it has too many parts and does not rotate properly...over designed and to much plastic..yuckey...maybe I can use parts of out in the shop...

Only worked the first 2 times I used it. After that, the blade stopped turning after I pushed it down. So the food wasn't evenly chopped.

It worked with peeled apple, but completely failed to chop the onion ... The blade does not reach the bottom of the cup, probably.

I use this chopper most in the spring/summer when strawberries are in season. It makes chopping them a lot easier when I am making strawberry shortcake.... yum!

The chopper worked well for the first week, then the blade stop revolving. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me how to fix it. It worked but only for a day. I contacted the manufacturer again and have not heard from them. Do not buy this item. If you want a really good chopper that is easy to clean unlike this one get a Pampered Chef, available online. It's a little more money but worth it.

It cuts small stuff OK, but many things just get stuck to the blades and in between them too. I am not very pleased with how it works and it is a pain to clean. I will throw it in the kitchen junk drawer and opt for a good sharp knife instead.
