wish it could be sold part by partGreat little thingie. It made my life so much easier, I can do pies, lasagnas, ragouts etc. etc. in minutes which enriched greatly our menu. My favorite is “baked veggies with whatever”; I chop everything I have in the fridge, put it on a baking sheet in layers, add spices and salt and some oil, and bake in the oven until ready. Smells and tastes great!I bought already 3 of these. The problem is, the transparent bottom is made out of plastic that is much more breakable than the green top or the cutters. So it was the first to break in the two previous ones. Wish I could buy the transparent bottom separately instead of ending up with 3 green tops and 3 sets of cutters.The newest thingie had a plastic mesh that goes between the pushing pegs in the upper green part. Great idea, made it so much easier to clean the upper part, I didn’t even have to use the white scratching fork on this new one.Also, don’t buy the set with blades that are supposed to make long thin slices. It never works, you will have to push the slices diwon with the back of a knife, and the blades might damage the green pushing pegs. But the two sets of blades to make square pieces, one for smaller, one for larger, work great.Would give it 5 stars if it were not for durability. Also, last time it broke, I had to throw the whole batch of chopped potatoes away because the transparent bottom broke similarly to glass, in a couple of large pieces, and a bunch of smaller needle-like splinters that I was not sure I could take out of the potatoes.With all these caveats, and possible improvements, I love this thingie, it is so helpful and made my life so much easier.

Want one of these? Do this.If you want this product, and have never owned a chopper like this before, buy the Vidalia Chop Wizard first. It has two blades, chop and dice. More than likely, it’s molded hinge pin will break. Then you order this product. It only has the dice blade, but the Vidalia Chop Wizard’s blades will fit, and this product costs less. Now you have three blades. However, this chopper will probably break on one of the front feet. The molded hinge pin a little thicker, but the breakage just moves to a different location. I am now on my third Progressive International Chopper.If anyone ever comes out with a metal version of this chopper, they might go out of business because the replacement due to product durability failure will be so respectable that you won’t have to replace it every 1-2 years.

Love itI have been buying this chopper for over 10 years. It usually lasts me about two years which is not bad at all for the price. I love it.

Replacing one that was great for over 30 years!!I had one that I used at least 3 times a week for over 30 years. It broke (user error) and I have missed it. So very glad to have a new one and love the new cleaning grid.

Game changer!Sooo much easier than hand chopping. Cleans up good in dishwasher but make sure to get bits out of holes prior to dishwasher. Works good with green peppers too.
