 You just need to turn it upside down! July 1, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I can't believe the bad reviews for this excellent gadget. I use it every day, mainly for making salads. The trick is to position it upside down (mesh side down) over a sturdy plastic bowl, place sliced vegetables (or onion halves) straight on the mesh, then bring the other half down over the vegetables with a short sharp 'Karate' chop.
It works well for tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onions, pitted olives, celery... etc. Carrots are a bit too hard, but you can do them as well if you slice them reasonably thinly. You'll get a bowlful of lovely healthy salad in no time at all! Really useful!
It's a knack February 20, 2008

This is a great gadget, producing perfectly cubed onions with ease. The onion does have to be peeled and chopped in half and placed cut side down, then you simply bang the top down, it wont slide through the onion so some force is required, but a short sharp bang works best and the cubed onion is caught in the container on the top. It's also great for potatoes, carrots, cucumber, peppers etc etc. Not so great with tomatoes(too soft), parnsips(the woody centre gets caught)and swedes(too hard). Just a note that everything needs to be chopped to fit on the grid on the bottom so everything goes through the knives as they come down. Once you've got the knack it's a real time saving gadget.
 Not that good. December 3, 2007

Any time saving cutting device, be it a food processor cutting discs, a mandolin (v-cutter) or this onion chopper is a compromise between how good you are with a knife, how many vegetables you have to do and how much washing up it requires when you are finished. I would rate myself about average with a knife, well below TV chefs but better than my wife and I think a knife is less work overall than this machine for the average domestic task. I agree with the other reviewers that it requires too much force to make it work and I have only used small onions, I feel I will finish up breaking it. Also after you have done the first cut it is not easy to turn the onion around to make the small cubes, it falls all over the place. When you are finised and have to wash it up it is difficult to get the little pieces of onion out off all of the nooks and crannies.
I rate it below a mandolin which is also more versatile and you can get for the same kind of money on Amazon.

I suffer more than most with onion tears so was excited to buy this product. It's quite useless. The amount of pressure needed to chop an onion is so much I ended up placing the item on the floor and kneeling on it! Sometimes that works, other times you end up having to hack a semi cut onion out of the damn contraption. Suffice to say ours is now in the bin. If you want to cut onions quickly, albeit not 100% safely, go for the "V" Slicer. Great on onions and white cabbage, even potatoes and carrots.

Brilliant product, as long as you remember to chop in half before slicing into tiny pieces, more force required to chop a whole onion! It makes those quick stir fry meals even quicker. Less time for eyes to burn and kitchen to smell, I love it!
