A friend of mine had a similar chopper from a expensive kitchen supplies store and it worked well. I bought "Quick Chop" and was extensively dissappointed. The blades so dull you have to slam the handle down to get it to cut anything. These choppers can be nifty, but go to a kitchen supply store and fork out the 25 bucks if you want one to work.

I haven't used any more expensive choppers to compare this to, but I've noticed I really have to slam on this one to get it to do much chopping- the blade was pretty dull from the start. It's not as easy to clean as they advertise- if you just wanted to clean one piece, the whole thing pops apart. I don't use it too often because of the cleaning, but it is more convenient to use than my mini-food processor for small jobs, and faster at mincing than a knife.

I bought this thinking it would be perfect for making salsa. On the first of 3 tomatoes, I put one half in the unit and it chopped it perfectly, on the next half it partially chopped the tomato. By the time I moved on to the second tomato the blades were competely dull, half of the tomato had worked it's way up inside the unit and it had mangled the tomato beyond recognition. This product is an absolute joke and not worth the money. It went back to the store three hours after I bought it and I will be purchasing the same item from Williams Sonoma for $10 more that I know is a quality product. In this case you don't get what you pay for, you get less

This product does NOT work. The blades would not rotate like they did in the TV commercial. The blades were also dull, you could barely chop a Tomato.
Save your money and spend it on a good knife.

First,the space is so small,you only allow to chop one garlic; second,the blade isn't that sharp;the worse part is that it become rusty after washed.

I bought the quick chop which promised to CHOP ice. Fifteen minutes, two bruised palms, and some watery ice later, I have my chopped ice. Maybe the fifteen minutes is a small exaggeration, but I would recommend using your good ol' refridgerator door ice machine instead of this bad boy. On a more positive note, it DID cut potatoes after being cut by hand into small chunks, but then I had to pry the chunks out from between the blades. Quick chop is not the right word for this device.

I love this handy little chopper - don't know how I lived without it! Works great with just about everything I've tried to chop. Just remember it's a small chopper and can't handle alot at one time but makes quick work of chopping in small quanities. Very easy clean up.

Funny how people either love this chopper or hate it. I'm not sure eveyone writing reviews gave it a fair chance because my husband and I just used ours for the first time yesterday and loved it. We hate to chop stuff so were dreading all the prep work for Thanksgiving Dinner. This little chopper did a great (and quick) job of chopping onions, celery and brocolli. Four 'chops' and the vegetables were pretty finely chopped. Took maybe three minutes to do two large heads of brocolli. I thought the cleanup was a breeze - unscrew the clear piece and just shake the pieces in hot soapy water - easy! We liked it so much we decided on the spot that we would write a review, something we rarely, if ever, do.

It chops wonderfully. It diced wonderfully. Good luck trying to clean it. If you're doing anything like eggs or garlic (sticky bits), they'll get up inside and not come out. They don't "just rinse off under the tap". The only thing I've found that reliable gets between the blades (which are attached inside and don't come out) is a paper towel wrapped around a chopstick. Great product, as long as you don't want it clean.

This is the biggest rip off ever. I just received one these and after trying it out on cucumber, onions and tomatoes I gave up because the blades were so dull they weren't chopping but rather mushing the vegetables. I really hope they stop promoting this terrible product, it really is a joke.
