Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This manual mini food chopper is perfect for mincing small quantities of onions, garlic, or herbs quickly and with minimal cleanup. The upper half of the chopper is made of beautiful brushed stainless-steel with a transparent plastic bowl on the lower half for watching the chopping process. Pump the non-skid handle up and down and the zig-zag-shaped blade cuts and then rotates to cut at a different angle during with the following pump for more precise chopping. The bowl easily twists off the chopper for filling and emptying and secures back on with a twist in the opposite direction. A pointed stand on the chopper’s underside props it up so the blade doesn’t touch the tabletop and also assists in scooping stray pieces of vegetable from the lip of the cup. A plastic base keeps the chopper from sliding during use. --Cristina Vaamonde

2.0 out of 5 stars The item you receive is NOT an MIU France model, March 27, 2005

This review is from: MIU France Stainless Steel Food Chopper (Kitchen)

I'm a little frustrated on this purchase. I wanted a food chopper, and settled on this one, thinking it would be better quality (and not made in China) than a lot of similar models available from competitors. What I received was a generic chopper in a generic box that just says "Chopper" on it with no instructions, and it is made in China. The picture is the same as shown on Amazon, but there is NO reference to MIU France ANYWHERE on the box or item itself.

The chopper itself seems to perform okay. I've used it a few times thus far. It is a little hard to clean and some of the plastic pieces worry me as far as their quality. I was hoping for something better than my mother's Zyliss chopper that I loved when I was living closer to home, but knowing what I know, I would not have purchased this model. I bet you can find a similar model on Amazon (or elsewhere) for probably $10 cheaper. I'm a little disappointed that Amazon wasn't more forward and honest with their marketing practices. When you buy an item that says it's from "MIU France" and spend higher money for it, you expect an item from "MIU France" to be shipped to you, not some cheap knock-off that probably sells for $10 less.

The stainless steel portion does look very nice (again, it is the same as in the picture), but the flimsy plastic pieces irritate me, and I'm sure that I will get a lot less life out of this machine than my mother did from her trusty Zyliss.

This item is attractive and chops very well. However, mine stopped spinning between chops after about 2 weeks. Now I have to manually spin it after every chop.

As the other reviewers said, it is a pain to put back together. I almost always have to ask my husband to do it.

This chopper looked like the perfect tool, but I never could get it to work right. Food jammed in the cutters, it didn't cut/chop cleanly all the way through the food, like onions. Not so easy to take apart and clean, or put back together. Could've been just me, but wasn't too happy.
