Brieftons Express Manual Food Chopper: Large 8.5-Cup, Hand Chopper Vegetable Cutter to Chop Veggies, Fruits, Herbs, Garlic Onion Chopper for Salsa, Salad, Pesto, Guacamole, Coleslaw, Indian Cooking

The Brieftons Express Manual Food Chopper is wonderfully simple and incredibly effective. The push‑down mechanism is smooth and powerful, turning veggies, nuts, and herbs into perfect pieces in just a few presses. It’s quiet, sturdy, easy to clean, and surprisingly fast. If you want a no‑fuss chopper that actually delivers, this one’s a standout.

I really like this. My hands are getting bad with trigger fingers so this has helped so much when I cut up vegetables especially for my homemade veggie soup. Great quality, great price, easy to clean. And a great feature is the blade has a plastic protective cover. I highly recommend purchasing this if you do a lot of vegetable and fruit cutting.

I have had a Cuisinart for many years, and it is a hassle to get it out put the blades of choice. It is very heavy! I just purchase the Brieftons 10-Blade Vegetable Spiralizer which I love all the different blades. I was on the Brieftons site and I was looking at a recipe and it suggested using the Brieftons Express Manual Food Chopper, well the spiralizer is great so I purchased the food chopper. I just got it yesterday and I am very excited about using it. I will get back to you all when I have used it. But it looks so easy to use!

First of all, this review is being written after a few uses of the chopper, rather than exhaustive use over many months. In general, I like it, and will continue to use it. It does certain things very well, and has some nice features, but it's not a replacement for cutting things up with a knife when precision control of the size of the resulting pieces is desired. I chopped onions, carrots, and celery with it. For onions, it makes very nice finely chopped onion bits, but it's not easy to make uniformly-sized pieces that are larger. For carrots and celery, it seemed easier to stop at the right time to have larger pieces. The design is like a tiny food processor with wing blades installed. The chopper makes very quick work of what you put into it, needing only a few quick pushes of the plunger to chop everything. It has some nice features, like the non-skid bottom on the base and the button that locks the plunger in the down position to make it smaller for storage. The design makes it pretty easy to clean, though you're not supposed to immerse the top portion that contains the plunger mechanism. Pros: - Easy to use - Chops very quickly and easily - Non-skid base provides good stability - Easy to clean Cons: - Difficult to achieve a uniform size of the chopped veggies, if not going for a fine chop.

I had a similar chopper to this, but it was smaller. I like the size of this one. It is sturdy, easy to use, and easy to clean. Be careful cleaning the blades as they are very sharp. I use it to chop my vegetables for soup or to add as a vegetable topping to my fish and chicken, since I prefer smaller pieces. I would recommend this product.

This is a great food chopper. I had my reservations at first, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it chops. There may be an occasional larger piece of food that you can pick out from the whole container, but it’s still wonderful. I used it to chop a massive red onion, using smaller portions as directed on the chopper package. I think I overfilled it because it was a little tough to get the blade to move at first. Next time I’ll decrease the amount I put in it. It chopped as finely as I wanted, pushing the plunger less for larger pieces or more for smaller pieces. It’s super easy to use and clean. The blades are incredibly sharp, so be careful when washing them. I also recommend keeping the cardboard/paper sleeves that come covering the blades so it can be safely stored. It’s not absolutely necessary because they store inside the bowl/container easily without, but I have a poor history in the kitchen around sharp objects so.... Anyway, a great medium size chopper for all your regular chopping needs - if it’s difficult to chop with a knife, it will be difficult to chop with the chopper. Great for making pico de gallo. It’s not meant for purées. It’s perfect for chopping onions and peppers to avoid the stinging or burning though.

Sorry this took me so long but I have had this product for almost a year and it has saved me a tremendous amount of time. It is quick and easy and takes up less space to store that your traditional chopping products; both manual and electric. I have recommended this product to several of my friends and they also agree. I would order again in a heart beat. Will now look at some of your other products. Thanks for coming up with a practical time saver.

i impulse bought the smaller version. worked great, but had to chop ingredients (for guacamole) one at a time. so it was so easy, but this larger version - bigger but not huge - sounded like a better fit. and yeah it's awesome. for a bowl of guac just chop up the ingredients into chunks, all of them in the bowl with seasonings. a few quick pumps and voila. i add a little lime juice after and pump a few more times to blend in. perfect, easy. washup - can put everything but the pump in the dishwasher, but it's so easy to just do a quick rinse i just hand wash. there's a mixer attachment too, tho i just use a spoon. and the pump handle snaps down to save a little space (doesn't go all the way into the bowl, but cuts down the height by about 1/3. i'm making guac a lot more often now already, it's just so much easier. be great for salsas and dips too.
