by Progressive Fruit and Vegetable Chopper,White

If you're a family that wants to eat a lot of veggies, looking for a product that lasts, chops up vegetables quickly (cube sized) and easy to clean- LOOK NO MORE!! I bought this in July 2010, and its Sept 2013 now, and I haven't got enough words about this little thing. I use it at least 4-5 times a week to chop up vegetables (we're vegetarian, so that's the main component in our diet)-- it does a small size cubes and a medium size cubes that are all great for our curries. It comes with an egg slicer that works for slicing softer things like boiled eggs. Vegetables I have used it for: Onions, Carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, beetroot, radish, squash, pumpkin, peppers, eggs, cheese, and more Indian vegetables like guards (bottle guard, snake guard, etc) all kinds of fruits for a fruit salad/fruit custard/pie - like apples, bananas, strawberry, kiwi, grapes (yes) cantaloupe, melons, etc. It works like a charm and cuts my veggie prep time in a third. I still have to peel and prepare the vegetables- but that's close to nothing. Some hard veggies like carrots and beetroots need extra pressure, I get a small step stool (I`m 5'2") for the extra pressure it needs to cut harder veggies. Sometimes I microwave/steam them first before cutting them up. It would be great if Progressive can incorporate blades with some other shapes in this other than cubes, like thin long rectangular shape- they could also incorporate a grater blade into this. but of course, they're quite clear it only chops up cubes. This is easily the most durable gadget in my kitchen. I bought it for less than 25 bucks back then, seems like progressive has increased the price on this item, but I would still buy it for the current listed price if I knew the worth! I was looking for this to send it to my sister in India, and I`m ordering one right away :)

I have had this chopper for over a year now and just love it! In the summer it makes quick work of salads and ceviche, in the winter it's great for veggie prep in soups and stews. There is a very slight learning curve when starting to use it...applying the right pressure, quick blows work but slow pressing will squash any soft veggies. I find that you have to ensure that the veggie fits within the size of the grate and if not, I cut it to size. For summer salads I cut my plum tomatoes in half and then put on a half, cut side down on the grate and get the most perfect little cubes for my salads. As soon as I'm finished I run in under warm water with the attached comb and have never had a problem. I find I don't need to put it in the dishwasher, but I sometimes do anyway just to sterilize it. This not only cuts prep time to a fraction, but the uniform pieces look very professional in it's presentation. I have bought the other two sizes as well, the smaller grate I use for finely chopped peppers and onions and the smallest for garlic that you want minced, not pressed. If you like egg salad, chop your eggs, onion, celery and whatever else you like in it and stir in the mayo for a salad in 60 seconds! You don't even have to empty between chopping (unless of course your using the veggies for different dishes). The storage case is handy and keeps everything organized and easy to find. Pay attention to the blades that say soft fruits and veggies only...I think this is why some people wrote negative reviews...they really need to read the directions...bet they are mostly guys ;) Addendum: It's been nearly two years and it still works like new, I still love it, still easy to clean and I haven't lost or broken any parts...I was sure by now I would lose the comb but because of the case, I still have it. On a slow week I'll use it twice in a week, on a busy week, several time during the day. I have more recently been using it for fruit...apples, melons, pineapple...and it is the best for strawberries. I have the hardest time using it for yams and turnips but still use it...just requires a little more muscle and no stacking of slices. Summer salads are a breeze and what would take me an hour for a large bowl or two, now takes minutes. I've learned never to leave a cut end of a juicy fruit or veggie facing you...it will squirt juices on you...instead if possible I put the cut side down or face it away from me. I still use the other two smaller units but not as often as this one...it is truely a staple in my kitchen. UPDATE: it’s been 11 years now, and my bin just cracked. I thought about looking for a replacement bin. I have tested other units and I just don’t like them as well. Since I’ve had this unit for 15 years, I think it’s well worth the money to buy the same unit all over again… May I get another 15 years out of it. The blades never dulled in all of 15 years! Other than the bin cracking from my forceful, slamming down over the years no other parts were ever lost or broken. Thanks to the plastic holding bin. Most of the other units that I’ve tried had smaller surface areas. Most did not have the feet on the bottom to keep the unit from sliding and it’s likely what kept it from breaking for 15 years. It went in and out of the dishwasher for 15 years with no issues. Very few units have the little fork that can clean out that upper great and it’s so important! And Very few units have the little fork that can clean out that upper grate and it’s so important! And no other unit has a holding bin to keep all of the parts intact. And although I have two other similar units from other brands, I’m gonna spend the 40 bucks to get this again. I give this unit my highest recommendation!

We got this chopper because our knife skills leave something to be desired and I wanted uniform pieces for cooking. Ordered it on January 18th, 2014. Threw away March 18th, 2014. Was not pleased throughout most of our use, very difficult product. You have to cut items pretty small to get it to fit on the chopper and thin enough that it can actually cut through them. I'm not sure about the "side blade" it mentioned, we had to cut our items small enough to fit within the metal grid, which isn't really very big. It took a lot of muscle to push it down to get things to chop, even for soft items like onions. On the flip side, if the item was too soft (such as strawberries for a salsa I made) they smushed and got kind of gross. Eventually we had to push so hard (While cutting a red onion cut into 8ish pieces first) that the piece of the base holding the lid on broke. Then you had to clean it! The little tool they give is very helpful for cleaning out the top, but the blades held on to food like nobody's business. I'd have to wash this thing 2-3 times before finally getting it all. Forget about putting it in the dishwasher, it can't get the stuff unstuck at all! We were just not satisfied with any of this product!

This Fruit and Vegetable chopper by Progressive works like a charm. It makes food prep a breeze and is easy enough for everyone in the family to help with dinner. It is much sturdier than the previous model I bought 4 years ago so I have no doubt it will last a long time. I also like the slicer attachment which its predecessor did not have.

Funciona muy bien y como debe, pero es necesario agarrarle el chiste, necesitas aplicar fuerza y agarrarle la onda, pero era de esperarse ya que las navajas no son lo mas filoso del mundo. Como tip te puedo decir que bajes la tapa hasta que este en contacto con la verdura, y despues rapida y fuertemente bajes todo, justo en donde viene la instruccion de donde empujar, si no lo haces bien desde la esquina vas a tener que aplicar muchisima mas fuerza, y si lo bajas lentamente, puedes terminar solo embarrando todo en las navajas, asi que... rapido y fuerte, solo ten cuidado con no machucarte!!!! El producto es de buena calidad y es resistente!

Amazing quick tool !! Spend more money (for this product) and save YOUR TIME !! Top level plastic quality and metal elements.

主に、パスタに入れるたまねぎのみじん切りに使っていますが、カッターの網目の一番小さいのでも、網目が長方形で、少し大きい気がします。同じメーカーの別のものには、それがあるのですが ... スクエアタイプのものがあれば別売りしているといいのですが ...
