Alligator Vegetable Chopper with Container | Food, Salad, Veggie Dicer, Manual Onion Chopper Vegetable Cutter | 3 Stainless Steel Blades Included | Perfect for Kitchen Prep

What a time saver!!! This thing can chop an onion in a heartbeat! I've just put 18 quart bags of peppers in the freezer with more to go. It really made my job a lot easier and didn't even flinch! The fact that the blades cut so uniformly really helps for dehydrating as well.As with most things, there is a bit of a learning curve. For instance, [and it was spoken of], that the height of what you chop comes out that length. So, if you want all short pieces of whatever, be sure to cut them that height before chopping so that some don't come out twice as long as you expected!The construction of the blades is really top notch. Compared to the plastic type that aren't even glued in the ends and bend easily, these are there to stay. Very impressed. Also it is quite safe. The blades are conveniently marked "caution" on the sharp side so that you know which side you can touch and which you can't. Do be VERY respectful though, as those blades are sharp as can be.The food container looked so small in the video that I had my doubts about it. However, when I got it I was pleasantly surprised at how much it holds and how easy it is to empty. Just a gentle push inward on the side with the single clip and it pops right open....same for re-attaching. It does help to turn the whole thing upside down when dumping it, especially if it is really full.As for cleaning...it's a breeze! Just be sure to rinse as soon as you are done. I did find that when I wasn't ready to chop the next thing quite yet, if you leave the food container on, it keeps the blade from drying out in the meantime while you are preparing another veggie or fruit.Being a vegetarian, I feel sure this Alligator is going to get plenty of use and do me well for a good long time. Even though it is pricey, it is well worth it to have a sturdy tool that can do the job without falling apart in a short time. I love it! Don't know how I've done without it.

So far working very nice. Its sturdy, much better weight than my older plastic Alligator, which the blades finally were too dull to cut after 20 years.

Hello there!! Queen of all things kitchen. I have every kitchen gadget known to man that will make my life easier preparing food in the kitchen. So, when my 600 year old plastic chopper broke I decided that for the amount of food I chop I should invest in a good sturdy model. So I bought this one.Oh boy. What a huge mistake that was.First, there are design flaws. The plastic clip on container that is supposed to clip in place doesn't. You are supposed to slip 2 tiny plastic pieces into two slots to secure the cup. Took me 20 minutes to get it in there without snapping off the little plastic pieces. It is difficult to maneuver if you can get it into place at all.Then you have to use the flimsy plastic cup to hold onto while slicing. That's the only "handle" on this chopper. The base is flat against the counter so you can't grab that.The base is very sturdy and well made. However, trying to push the newly sliced food into the plastic cup on top is not practical. It jams and applies undo pressure on the cheap plastic cup. Another design flaw.The one positive comment I will make is the blades are beyong sharp. I cut myself pretty good just holding it under the faucet sprayer in the kitchen sink.If I could sent this back I would do that immediately! However, I tried to figure out how to make it work and by doing so missed my return window. Huge and costly mistake on my part.Don't make the same mistake. Do not consider this item.

Worth the money. This works best for hard vegetables like onion, carrot, celery, apple etc. I haven’t used it for potato or sweet potato yet but I’m certain it will work for home fries style cuts. This is not big enough to make fries you need a julienne slicer for that. I used it for softer veggies - green and yellow bell peppers and it still works but you have to cut them to the right size and place them properly. Sounds complicated maybe but it’s easy trial and error to get it.I’m a food prepper so this is worth its price for me bc I prep massive amounts of veggies each week. This is a real time saver. Due to the cleanup you wouldn’t break this out for a veggie here and there - if you’re breaking this out and gonna have to clean it you need to really get your use from it.My only reason it’s not getting 5 stars is the box is a little small requiring frequent emptying but it’s surprisingly more voluminous than it first appears. I chopped a half bag of baby carrots before emptying. I did a whole large cucumber then emptied. An entire Granny Smith Apple. A whole white onion. It’s big enough for a residential kitchen. Not commercial grade size by any means. Its built well and will last.Note you definitely have to pre cut or slice everything larger than half an Apple before you put it in. For some that may be annoying for me it was no big deal. I cut the onion in half and then bam it was diced! Cut cucumber into quarters. Baby Carrots don’t need pre cut. Celery cut into thirds. Anyway it’s a very good product that does what it says and is built to last. Not to mention I won’t be slicing my fingers anymore with my ceramic knives now that I have this!
