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

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.

I love this thing for small chopping jobs.. when you don’t want to drag out that processor!. I was skeptical at first . I have lots of nice sharp knives , why do I need it? I’m a little OCD so if not every piece gets chopped the same size, well it isn’t going to work. This is good quality and well worth the money. High quality simple parts, sharp blades . Nice even chop for garlic , ginger, shallots , onions. It’s brilliant . All in one mirepoix … even chops stringy celery into nice even bits. Easy to clean and store though I rinse it clean and do not put in dishwasher because the lid has weep holes that collect water . Really such a useful, well engineered tool.

This chopper is top notch because: 1) ease of use because you don’t need to pull hard at all 2) it’s lightweight yet stays in place 3) you have more control as to what size to chop 4) a breeze to wash 5) small enough to store anywhere 6) blade is sharp and cuts easily and fast. Highly recommend!

Great chopper!! This is my second one. Good quality, easy to use and clean. You can chop as fine or coarse as you want with very little effort. I can’t be without it.

My fave chopper! Kuhn Rikon makes great products and this is a shining example. The bowl is large enough for decent chopping. The blades are big and strong, and the holder (for storing with the blades) is so good for safety. The pull handle is easy to operate, and does not affect my arthritis at all. I ordered another brand last year, used it recently and was so disappointed that I went back to Kuhn Rikon (why did I not do that in the first place?) I totally recommend!

It works well, but it’s small and can easily get stuck.

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.

This little gadget is simply wonderful! No more tears dripping down my face when I chop onions, because this baby chops them in 4 quick pulls. Garlic? No problem. Just peel and pull. I cook a lot, and I won’t ever be without one. It’s worth every penny!
