Brieftons Express Food Chopper: Large 6.8-Cup, Quick & Powerful Manual Hand Held Chopper/Mixer to Chop Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, Onions for Salsa, Salad, Pesto, Hummus, Guacamole, Coleslaw, Puree

I bought this to chop onions (as I have a really bad allergy response to them) and I wanted to chop onions really finely. It was easy to put together and I first used it this evening; it was brilliant. No more sore and painful eyes and the onions were chopped really finely with only 3 plunges of the chopping blades. The blades are really sharp so care is needed with handling, but a protective cover for them is included which, if used properly, doesn't cause a problem, and they are very effective. I'm very pleased with this reasonably priced kitchen accessory and it's a relief not to suffer any more!

I read all the reviews for similar items and purchased this item. I am so happy that I did, it is perfect. It even chops a few garlic pieces into very small bits...now that is really telling you something! Chops anything you put into it perfectly and cleans in a flash. Thx, I love it.

A little expensive but good performance overall

This item has been sitting on the shelf for a few weeks waiting for a suitable chore to come along.My daughter is under the weather, and all she fancied eating was Angel Delight. So, I decided to see how quickly the Express Food Chopper mixing paddle would whip it up - the answer is extremely quickly, with very little effort, and no mess.Washing up the pieces after took no time at all either. All the parts are of very high quality, and based on other Briefton items we own, will easily stand the test of time. It will be interesting to see how well the driver handle that spins the paddle (or blade) lasts, but it certainly looks and feels substantial, and I have no reason to suspect that it will break after just a few uses.One warning note - the blade mentioned above is of extremely high quality, and consists of 3 angled blades set at different heights on a central spindle. These blades are EXTREMELY SHARP so please handle with care - you have been warned. I tried chopping an apple and a potato before washing up after making the Angel Delight, and it made very short work of them.All in all, a very good item - well done Brieftons.

Bought this last December. I wanted it badly because I wanted to chop a lot of onions without tears. It was easy to assemble but can be tricky to use at first. With trial and error, I found it will be easy if you cut the veggies (onions in this case) into quarters and place 2 or 3 pieces on one side of the blade. Bear in mind it should be placed between the gap of two blades not on top or bottom of either. If you cram it up (like what I did the first time cos I was excited) the blade will be stuck to the veggies. Once you are able to dice through a few (after two or three push), then you can add a bit more. Teeny problem with this is that the first batch will be miniscule in size so better to have 2 or 3 batch then remove and then start anew if need more. Washing is easy as I soak it with soapy water after use and clean it properly later. Blade doesn't look that sturdy so I don't know if it will last long but at the moment I am happy with it.
