Amazon.com Review
Work smarter, not harder with Progressive International's helpful onion chopper. Just slice an onion in two, set half on the stainless-steel blade, then close the hinged plastic lid. Voila! Dice onions without all the mess, odor, or time-consuming cleanup. The reinforced storage container is clear so it's easy to see how much you've chopped, and measurements up to two cups are printed on the sides. The compact tool stands on four round feet that keep it secure on the countertop or table. When the top is closed, the blade is protected and safely away from a busy chef's hands. This chopper stores easily in a drawer and comes with a tool to clean the lid easily. --Kara Karll

 Great product January 6, 2009
I really like the way this chopper works. It saves so much time chopping. I also like the fact the it is dishwasher safe.
Love it, but does take some effort December 23, 2008
I love this thing. Makes quick work of onions and bell peppers. The other reviewers do have a point. It does take a bit of effort. I'm not a big guy, but I am a guy. I can understand how an older woman might not have as much fun as I do hammering down on vegetables.
That the bottom section is graduated, allowing you to measure without transferring to another container, is a nice feature.
Oh, and don't ever try to dice a tomato with this. It's not pretty. :)
 I can chop onions faster and easier by hand. December 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I chop a lot of onions in my house - I mean, a lot - and I've wished for one of these choppers for a long time. I finally allowed myself to buy one a few weeks ago. Boy, what a disappointment. The first time I used it I thought, "Well, it's not great, but at least it does the job." Then I tried to wash it - yikes! It may be dishwasher safe, but the dishwasher can't get the tiny holes in the blade, nor the grooves in the lid, clean. It took me ages to clean both of those parts by hand after it had gone through an unsuccessful dishwasher cycle. The lid/pusher is also extremely difficult and time-consuming to clean, even with the included scraper.
In addition, the onion must be cut into such small sections by hand before it can be put into the chopper, that it defeats the purpose. I can literally chop up an onion by hand faster and easier than I can with this item, and cleanup is a WHOLE lot faster that way.
In addition, as I attempted to use the chopper subsequent times (I really wanted to like it; I hoped it would, "grow" on me), I found it very difficult to chop even small sections of large onions. It would leave the outermost layer of the onion uncut, and no matter how much force I put into leaning on the lid, it would not cut through the last part of the onions. I ended up with quite a bit of waste.
This item came with a satisfaction guarantee (the reason I finally purchased it, as the guarantee was noted on the outside of the box), so I decided to get a refund. When I called the company, however, they informed me that the guarantee only covered replacement with an identical item (this was not noted on the package). So it really isn't satisfaction guaranteed at all, it's just warranted against breakage.
Definitely not a recommended item. I'll take my cutting board and a plain ole' knife any day.

A repurchase. This was a a gift. I own and have recommended this chopper to many friends. Make sure you do not lose the cheaning tool; it is a must and makes cleanup easy.
Awesome Chopper October 25, 2008
This is my second one. After two years of constant use, the hinge shattered, and I ordered my second one immediately. I find it useful for chopping celery, carrots, and potatos. For onions, just make 3/4 in slices and cut for easier use after removing outer tough layer, that can be chopped separately.
