ZylissEasy Pull Food Processor & Manual Food Chopper - Vegetable Slicer & Dicer - Hand-Operated Salad Veggie Chopper - Kitchen Essentials

Great product. Strong and compact. Slices perfectly with just a few pulls of the wire, vegetables, fruits, nuts of all kinds. You name it. Easy to clean and maintain. We bought the first slicer over 5 years ago and it still works like new.The current purchase is for a gift.

Incredibly handy little chopper. No cords. A few pulls and bingo! Done! Washes easily.

Quick & easy to use, to clean, and to store. Fun design, fun to use. Minimalist. Works in power outages ;-)I use mine to make organic walnut butter. It takes about a minute, is absolutely fresh, is about half the cost of buying ready-made, and eliminates packaging (normally glass jar + lid). Ingredients: organic walnuts. That's it. 3 pulls yields chopped nuts, but for my purposes I give it 30 pulls to yield a nice fine texture about like brown sugar. I store my "walnut dust" in a reusable container in the fridge. At breakfast, I drizzle olive oil on toast, then put a spoonful of my walnut dust on the bread and spread it around with the back of the spoon. Tastes great as is, or top it with cinnamon. At first I assumed I'd add some oil to make the consistency more like peanut butter (which you can do by adding an oil of your choice), but I prefer the mealy dust consistency for simplicity's sake: faster to make, no mess to clean up, easier to store, zero waste.New topic: I routinely make one dish skillet meals using half a dozen or so different veggies, and I initially bought this hoping to speed up veggie prep, but I wasn't thrilled with the results for that purpose. Within the first few pulls, you end up with partly pureed mush and partly unchopped pieces. If you keep pulling to make the big pieces smaller, you end up with ever more mush...more like a smoothie. Cooked veggie smoothie anyone? Exactly. So I'd recommend using this for things you want to puree...salad dressings, marinades, sauces, dessert toppings, guacamole...and of course it's great for chopping nuts. For veggies though, I went back to using a knife. (Feb. 2019 update: for veggies & hard fruits like apples, I've been using, and recommend, Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder. I use it every day.)Would definitely buy again. Has paid for itself many times over.(2019 Feb. update: I've been using the Zyliss for over two years now and it's still going strong!)[2023 Nov. update: it's *still* working fine! Mostly using to chop frozen walnuts, which are not easy on it; although I'm careful not to overload it...just doing a medium handful at a time. Also for processing cilantro and/or parsley with nuts & oil etc for quick/easy pesto type condiments.]

This is an incredible manual food chopper, well worth five stars with a couple of common sense caveats.The blades are razor sharpe. Don't get your fingers anywhere near them when removing or washing. And if, like me, you could see no way to remove the guard and the instructions made no sense, play safe and find a utube video.Secondly, some reviewers have complained about water getting inside the lid. Of course it does! Use your eyes, people. There's a hole in the lid for the pull string. Don't put the lid in the dishwasher or immerse it in water. Cover the hole with your thumb when you rinse it under the tap, or wipe carefully around it.This cutter has saved me hours of time. I've already gifted it to several people, explaining rhe caveats, and they too are thrilled. Buy it, mind the blades and the hole, and enjoy!

Excellent product. They all seem to look alike but they’re not! Blades are very sharp and it takes seconds to do the job and super easy to take apart-even with my arthritic hands.

The good is this chopper is great and makes easy work of chopping harder vegetables like carrot or broccoli a breeze and things like salsa or relish in just a few pulls and it is very finely chopped and is a time saver. The bad is liquids will make way into the lid which is enclosed put not water proof put has a small screw plug that can be removed to rinse and drain the inside lid area. I've made hummus with the zyliss and make mine to a cake batter consistency and to get the enclosed part of the lid clean it took around 6 fillings and shaking then draining to clean.well now I just chop the dryer ingredients in the zyliss and mix in the wetter ingredients in a separate bowl so to sum it up the zyliss is a great chopper and easy to use but can be a hassle to clean the inside of the lid/drive but it is something I can accept put if the lid was waterproof or more resistant to liquids would definitely rate a five stars product. Happy cooking!

I purchased this item because the mini food processor I had would get stuck when chopping nuts. This food processor worked like a champ. I just chopped fish cake, water chestnuts, and green onions for a dip. It usually takes me some time to do this by hand and the food processor did it so easily. Easy to use, easy to clean. Great purchase!

I've had one of these for years, my mom had one and i had to get one for myself. Bought 2 for gifts. I use this to shred meat, any vegetable, fruit. It's a staple in our kitchen for any and all meal prep. Easy to clean up, sharp blades (so be careful) and so slick. I've also used it to chop nuts, make salsa, and like i said, shred meat, made chicken salad with this tool. Highly recommend.
