After 15 years, I finally wore out my Pampered Chef Chopper. My research revealed the Cuisinart Stainless Steel Chopper, a significant improvement over a plastic one. After using the Cuisinart chopper for the first time I discovered that you can't clear/clean behind the blade without expending significant time/energy. Very disappointing.
This was a replacement for another brand which cracked. I love the ease of use and cleaning. It is small and doesn't take up much room in the cabinet. Great product. Thank you.
I received the Cuisinart chopper as a gift from my daughter, to replace a chopper that I'd had for years that was wearing out. This one chops food excellently, and is very comfortable to use. Most of the lower chopper parts come apart for ease of cleaning. The blades are retracted up into the casement, and come down when the black handle is pushed. When washing the chopper, I push the black handle down to reveal the blades for cleaning. The one drawback is that water gets up into the casement when washing, so you have to shake it to get out as much water as possible, then let it air/drip dry to completely dry out the inside of the casement. Overall I really like this chopper!
I've used this product to chop nuts and it has been easy to use and chops them well even if you want the nuts very finely chopped. It works quickly and enables you to chop a lot of nuts in a small amount of time. It comes apart so you can wash it. The only problem I have with it is that I can't seem to disassemble the top part where the blades are so that makes it harder to clean the blades. But I really like that it is made of stainless steel and therefore is very strong.
