I really love this product

I really love this product! I usually use my food processor to cut food and that's fine, but it doesn't produce absolutely perfect cuts. Get absolutely perfect cuts. I've been using this to make salads for a couple of weeks and the appliance has held up very well. To be honest I thought the $19 chopper would break after a few uses but it's still like new! The square blades don't look very sharp, but don't let that fool you. I've cut my fingers a few times from trying to use my finger to remove or put on some excess food. Also, the little plastic brush you get with this one is utterly useless. I used it once and after a very careful play it broke. A stiff kitchen brush will do. Here are my thoughts on the vegetables I've used it on so far: Mushrooms - don't use it on mushrooms. He cut the mushrooms perfectly and I had the most amazing diced mushrooms in the world but oh my god the peeling was unbearable. The soft mushrooms get stuck SO EASY in the green mesh at the top and took a whopping 30 minutes to remove. Will definitely be using a mushroom food processor. Onion. If I could only use one product, I would choose onions. All I did was slice it in half (thirds or quarters for a larger onion), place it on top of the sliced portion and get diced onions with no tears or hassle. Because onions already have rings, they're probably one of the easiest veggies to chop with little to no prep. Paprika is also absolutely perfect. My only small issue with the pepper is that it needs to be trimmed down a bit to fully fit the square piece. If they sold a larger version of this I would buy it right away so I could just put a whole batch of peppers in it. Cucumbers are the same as peppers. Once they're trimmed a bit, you can just toss in a piece, smack it, and you've got the perfect diced cucumbers. Of course you can also make cucumber strips, but that's usually not what I want, so I haven't tried cherry tomatoes yet - doable, but be careful! Tomatoes tend to roll down the sides of the cutting area and bunch up in odd ways. They also hit EVERYWHERE because some of them crack and explode. I found chunks of tomato 2 days later on a wall about 4 feet from where I was. I can't wait to try this with regular chopped tomatoes as I don't think they will have a problem with popping and shifting. Even with the mess he made, oh my god the tomatoes were absolutely perfect. After sitting in the container for a while, chop more tomatoes, the juice will naturally separate from the tomato chunks, and you can lay out tiny perfect chunks of tomatoes. Do you know how beautiful salsa looks when it doesn't have that much juice and seeds in it? I think that. It's fantastic. Carrots - I'll grate them in a food processor. It's not that you can't use it, it's just that carrots are pretty tough and you have to press hard to cut them, so it's a lot more work (for me, I'm not strong) than that cut by hand or grate in a kitchen combo. TL; DR: - Perfect for medium-firm vegetables such as peppers, onions or cucumbers. - The softer the veg, the harder it is to peel - The harder the veg, the more pressure you need to cut, so it may not be worth it.
