Great product
I really like the way this chopper works. It saves so much time chopping. I also like the fact the it is dishwasher safe.
Love it, but does take some effort
I love this thing. Makes quick work of onions and bell peppers. The other reviewers do have a point. It does take a bit of effort. I'm not a big guy, but I am a guy. I can understand how an older woman might not have as much fun as I do hammering down on vegetables.
That the bottom section is graduated, allowing you to measure without transferring to another container, is a nice feature.

A repurchase. This was a a gift. I own and have recommended this chopper to many friends. Make sure you do not lose the cheaning tool; it is a must and makes cleanup easy.
Awesome Chopper
This is my second one. After two years of constant use, the hinge shattered, and I ordered my second one immediately. I find it useful for chopping celery, carrots, and potatos. For onions, just make 3/4 in slices and cut for easier use after removing outer tough layer, that can be chopped separately.
