I own every kitchen gadget known to man. Well, okay, I am missing a couple, like the combo microwave and pizza oven. But really, I own just about everything out there for cooking, and this little doohickey is a gem. If you don't cut up your onions into smallish pieces (that is, if you insist on putting a half an onion in rather than quartering it), it may take a little strength to do the first twist or two, but the blades are very sharp and do a wonderful job after that. The other night, I made a killer apple, dried fig and balsamic vinegar glaze using this and it chopped the apples without mushing them at all. I just can't recommend this highly enough. Cleanup is extremely quick and easy as the whole thing is top-rack dishwasher safe.

This chopper worked very well on a variety of foods. It will chop onions, tomatoes, etc. with little effort on your part. Whenever I had to chop the something, I always looked to use the Tupperware chopper.

However, the item durability and service keeps me from getting this product 5 stars. The blades are very sharp, but the handle and all other parts are made of plastic. About a year after I bought the chopper the gears that turn the blades broke while cutting an onion. I tried to get a replacement part under warranty, but their customer service does not honor the warranty after a year.

Overall, good product until something goes wrong. Use at your own risk.

It is absolutely amazing how easy it is to chop onions in this thing. It is much easier than a food processor that does not waste electricity.

I use this for making smoothies on the deck. No more dragging out the heavy blender. Just a few turns of the handle and you blend most any fruit and liquid. My son loves helping me turn the handle. You can also make great fruit salsa using this little gadget. It's portable size is still larger enough to make the best salsas for the family.

I have had this chopper for over a year and find so many uses for it, but my favorite is making tuna salad. I throw in the tuna, celery, onions, hard boiled eggs, and relish. The chopper makes it such simple work. It chops and mixes everything together. It takes me a third of the time that it used to. Be careful to cut items in two-inch slices so they actually fit between the side and center of the chopper. It's plastic, except for the blades, so you can't abuse it, but because it is plastic, it washes up quickly and is ready to go again. I just recently purchased one for my daughter for her birthday.

Some people find cutting/chopping fruits & veggies to be therapeutic, even fun! But not me - I hate that laborious, time-consuming part of cooking. I use the Quick Chef several times a week and it saves me lots of time, besides avoiding the burning tears from raw onions. Just throw in some chunks of onion, bell pepper, celery, etc., and within seconds of turning the handle you can cut everything to whatever size you need, even finely-diced. The booklet tells you basically nothing (just a few recipes), so you'll need to experiment a little. It probably wouldn't work well for potatoes or raw squash, but it's ideal for softer or watery foods...i.e., onions, bell peppers, celery, tomatoes, hard-cooked eggs, cabbage, avocado, parsley and more. I'm sure I'll continue to find more uses for it.

Cleaning this thing is a breeze if you rinse it immediately after use - it's effortless. I've never had to put it in the dishwasher. I would give it 5 stars if it didn't have ridges inside the bowl. If the four vertical ridges were on the outside instead of the inside, you could wipe it clean with a spatula much more easily. I would also have made the handle (turning crank) a different color from the lid, as a visual reminder to remove it before taking the lid off. The handle, which sits loosely on the top, has bounced on the kitchen floor a couple times, but hasn't cracked. I think the whole unit is well-made for the most part, and the blades are extremely sharp. Plus, it's a bonus to have a kitchen appliance that requires no electricity!

The price is steep, but if you shop around (like here on Amazon), you'll find much lower prices than full retail. For a knife-challenged and time-challenged cook like me, the Quick Chef is a godsend!

Great product...haven't used my Pampered Chef chopper since I received a Quick Chef chopper as a gift. Now buying them for my friends and family.

We use this little processor primarily for making salsa. It does a much better job than any other salsa maker that we've tried. It should as it cost about 3 times as much as other salsa makers. Very well made as you would expect a Tupperware product to be.

I purchased this chopper for my sister's birthday present. She loves it and continues to tell me all the things she has done with it thus far.

How practical can it be. The Tupperware Qucik Chef promises to be everything. A great sharp kitchen chopper, slicer, mixer, everything! It makes salsa, chops unions, easy to clean, no power cords. I need a thing like this, yeah the whole world needs a thing like this. Also it's made by Tupperware, the great people from America who invent cool stuff all the time and stand firmly behind their product. If something might go wrong just bring it in!

Sadly it isn't.

This thing is poorly made and broke way too soon. I did not use it much, so when it broke the one year warranty by Tupperware had passed. When I opened up the gearbox and saw what was inside my engineer's heart ached. This is truly rubbish. This thing was made in China, and the nerd I am, I took an accurate caliper to measure some sizes. I could see that it was designed in metric units. So, this piece of crap, made in China, was not even designed in the US (where they would use inch)! Tupperware just ordered it somewhere and had their name put on the handle and slapped the price up big time.

Face it, a product made at this quality should cost $9.99 somewhere in a bin a Wallmart.
