Kuhn Rikon Pull Chop Chopper/Manual Food Processor with Cord Mechanism, Green, 2-Cup

This is a fast and effective chopper/mincer that really works great. You can make a tuna, chicken or egg salad in a flash right in the little container if you want, just be careful when removing and handling the sharp blade. I wasn't making those salads as often as I like because I am not a fan of a big dice for a sandwich salad and don't have the patience or skill to dice the celery or protein up to a tiny size. I have various chopping devices, but none worked very well for the protein and although I could use them to dice the celery, it took a bit longer than I wanted. I decided to try this device when I saw it on QVC and immediately loved it so much I bought one for my daughter too. It does a really good job and allows you to make not only finely minced salad right in the container (just remove the top and blade, add mayo and stir), but also chops nuts quickly and easily, makes quick salsa or a fine garlic mince to add to a dish you are cooking. It's very versatile.It's also easy to clean. You can't put the top in the dishwasher, but it's easy to rinse off or wipe off manually. I find it easy enough to clean all the parts manually I never put them in the dishwasher. One thing though is that the blade is small and can fall down the disposal. :( Oh dear. I had to buy a new unit because the blade got all bent up. I got it out of the disposal but it was too barked up to use anymore. The good thing is that I now have an extra bowl if I want to store something in the fridge. I looked on QVC when I needed the replacement, but didn't need the extra bowl they offered and it was considerably cheaper here. Very pleased. It is well designed with a rubber ring on the bottom to give stability on the counter. You just place one hand on the top to hold the unit it steady and pull on the handle to spin the blade. Amazing how well it works. Highly recommended.

I saw a late-night TV ad for a similar pull chop gizmo and decided to see what Amazon customers had to say about it.Then I saw this Kuhn Rikon model, read the rave reviews, and figured a Swiss company might have the "edge" when it came to sharp-bladed choppers.No joke! Compared to the Progressive slap chopper I had before, the blades of this pull chopper are razor-sharp. So sharp, in fact, that the company includes a plastic sleeve to cover the blades when not in use. And as another reviewer pointed out, the blades here only come in contact with the food, not the surface of a cutting board, so the blades should keep their sharp edge longer than those used by slap choppers.And while I used to have to slap and slap the plunger on the Progressive chopper to chop the food fine enough, three pulls or less on this whiz-bang device does the job lickety-split.In fact, I almost think this chopper works TOO well. I used it last night to chop onions, peppers, and celery for a spaghetti sauce, and it reduced the veggies to such fine pieces so quickly, I'm glad I didn't follow the instructions, which said five or more pulls on the string would be necessary.The device is also very easy to use -- just cut the pieces of food to fit inside the chopper, give a few pulls, and you're done.It's simple to clean as well. There really are only two parts to clean, the clear plastic cutting container and the blade assembly. The manufacturer tells you not to immerse the top assembly, so I just wiped the inside bottom of that piece with a damp sponge and dried it with a dish towel.What can I say? The Swiss Pull Chop makes quick work of food prep, and it's compact and easy to use. A winner in every way...PROS:* Works much faster than comparable slap choppers.* Easy to clean.* Components, including blades, appear to be high-quality.* Compact, easy to store.* Reasonably priced.CONS:* None that I can think of at the moment.

Okay, so, my family LOVES Mexican food (I don’t). It seems I’m always chopping onions and jalapeños and crying rivers of tears. Also my left fingers are always burning from holding these spicy veggies while chopping. Now, OMG! this veggie chopper is an absolute life saver, am so in love with it. It works like magic. Three pulls and all the chopping is done! (The rubber bottom really stabilizes when pulling.) And only three parts to wash up after, so easy. And what a time saver too! There are some big chunks once in a while but that’s rare, and I simply snip them with my kitchen scissors as I’m cooking, no biggie. I highly recommend! (note: Do NOT wash the lid, just wipe clean)

I've been so impressed with this manual pull chopper. When I ordered it, I wondered whether this was going to be a piece of junk. Quite the opposite--this chopper is so useful. It cuts pretty much any vegetable one puts in it. You control how fine it is chopped by how many pulls you give on the pull bar. For most veggies, five pulls cuts the veggies pretty fine. Two or three pulls cuts the veggies to a medium size. This device is not a slicer but a chopper as it says. It does a wonderful job at chopping veggies into smaller pieces. You need to do a little work to cut the veggies into pieces that will fit into the chopper. After that, just pull on the pull bar and in a matter of seconds, you chop the veggies to the size you want. Really great device that is easy to clean. Be careful because the blades are very sharp. I've had the chopper for 6 months. I've had no problems and it is as good as the day it was first delivered.

If you want to actually enjoy prep—not dread it—this little gadget is worth every penny. It’s efficient, easy to clean, and cuts dishes down to prep time in half. I’ve gifted it to friends and they all agree—it’s a game changer.

Excellent, super sharp blades and easy to use and clean. Very expensive however, to be seen whether it is worth the price

Handy kitchen tool that we did not know we needed.... until we tried it. Works well for our primary useage making jalapeno salsa and has gradually crept into almost daily use for many things.Seems like good quality and easy to clean.
