Product Description

Make easy work of chopping onions, nuts and more with the OXO Good Grips Chopper, just press the soft knob and the blades rotate for even chopping. An internal soft bumper absorbs shock to increase comfort and reduce sound. Chop ingredients in the enclosed cup with its soft, non-slip base, or remove the base and chop directly on a cutting board. A tab rotates within the cup to prevent food from accumulating on the side walls. The entire blade cartridge can be removed from the shopper by simply unscrewing it, so clean up is a breeze. The blade is symmetrical for ease of reassembly. Spoon included for scooping ingredients.

While I haven't had the chopper long enough to test its durability, I have had it long enough to tell you how wonderful it is. This is one of those items you buy where you don't realize how much thought has been put into it until you realize how bad something like this could be. The blades retract into a plastic housing to prevent anything from getting stuck in the blades. A piece of plastic runs around the edges of the housing to prevent anything from getting stuck along the edges of the chopping container. All in all, I really really recommend this product. You'll never need to chop onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc. with a knife again.

I have had this product for almost 3 months now. It was purchased from Bed Bath & Beyond. It works awesome for choppping and dicing garlic for me but when it has come to onions it's been a waste of time and I've reverted back to doing onion chopping by hand. The blade isn't sharp enough to go through the depth of a quartered onion. It leaves a lot of wasted pieces. I've tried many different ways to cut the onions in a way that this little chopper will work for me and it's been without success.

Cleaning isn't difficult but could be a lot easier. For cleaning, the whole item needs to be broken down into 5 pieces for cleaning. I wash it by hand. Seems safe enough for the dishwasher top shelf but because of the way the blades are shaped I don't think dishwasher cleaning is thorough.

It comes with a little scooping spoon. The spoon doesn't sit well in the holes that it is supposed to rest in and keeps falling off.

I'm not happy that it doesn't chop red/white/yellow onions well which is what I bought it for.

I'm looking to replace it in the near future. I would recommend another brand because the quality of the blades, the price and the scoop spoon being awkward sitting on the product have been irritations to me.

I do give it a good rating for durability however.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas after suffering for years with a cheap chopper. There were no reviews at that time to go by but it looked like a sturdy chopper. All I can say is that we have been extremely pleased with this product. It is very well build, very sturdy, comes apart easily and cleans up great! The rotating blades chop the material well with no effort on your part. We use it mainly for onions and mushrooms and it performs excellently. I would highly reccomend this chopper. Price is reasonable and it appears that it will last for years!
