Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This chopper from Zyliss will make quick work of most small and medium chopping tasks, and, thanks to the unique comfort top, it won't bruise hands if lots of chopping is being done. The chopper stands 10-1/2 inches tall, with a 3-1/2-inch base, and is constructed of sturdy plastic and stainless steel, with a stainless-steel chopping blade. It's easy to use--just place the food in the base container and position the chopper snugly in the base. Then tap the top a few times until food is the desired size. The rustproof, stainless-steel blade rotates automatically after each tap. Since the chopping is contained in the base, the amount of mess is minimal. Also, the 1-cup base container comes with a lid for easy storing of chopped food. For simple cleanup, the sides of the chopper are hinged and the whole thing can go into the dishwasher. --A.J.

This review is from: Zyliss Comfort Chopper, Red (Kitchen)

I was critical of the Zyliss chopper (the cheaper model) in an earlier review, but now, after several weeks of using this one, I feel I need to give Zyliss its props for having got it right. Although herbs sometimes still need a little extra poking and prodding to get the mince right, on the whole, this model is so much better than the other that it's remarkable to think they're manufactured by the same company. Not only are the blades sharper and the plunger easier to depress, but cleanup is streamlined by virtue of the hinged sides on the body of the chopper. When you're finished, just pop all the detachable bits into some hot, soapy water, then grasp the sides of the chopper and separate them like wings on some huge post-modern insect. The whole blade is laid bare for rinsing, and fast drying time.

I'm really impressed, but I wonder why Zyliss bothers with the cheaper model when this is so obviously superior. Anyway, you need one of these for mincing and chopping. Honest.

4.0 out of 5 stars An improved version!, November 18, 2001

This review is from: Zyliss Comfort Food Chopper, Transparent (Kitchen)

This Zyliss Chopper is easier to clean than its non-dishwasher safe alternative. The big plus here is that it opens for cleaning AND is dishwasher safe. (Now, cleaning that very sharp blade is actually a possibility.) I think it's often a better choice than a food processor because you have more control over how finely you chop the food.

Sometimes, though, for real precision, I'd still use a basic old knife. But for saving time for regular chopping, this product helps out!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Quality, January 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Zyliss Comfort Food Chopper, Blue (Kitchen)

After owning Zyliss's other chopper and replacing it with this one has shown me once again that Zyliss works hard to keep up with the demands of customers. They improved the over all comfort first of all by adding rubber grips to the sides which is a great safety feature. The biggest improvement is now the sides open up to give you the access you need to clean the blades properly. Safety and quality was in mind when they remade this chopper. It comes with a chopping mat and has different colors to chose from. Its a few dollars more but well worth it.
