The Original Vidalia Chop Wizard Elite - 30% More Chopping/Dicing Area Than Other Brands

So I hate chopping veggies. It’s time consuming and annoying. About ten years ago a friend got me one of these handy dandy contraptions and let me tell you, life got better. I use it for everything! That thing lasted me ten years and then one of my kids broke it :( I had to get another one! The only thing you have to be careful with is the plastic part that the top part swivels on. If you’re not, it can break. If you hate chopping fruits and veggies, get one of these! You won’t regret it!

I'm pretty fast at dicing a single onion without even using a cutting board (and I start just about every dish with my onion, garlic, olive oil base). This baby comes in handy when I'm doing more and one or when I'm chopping multiple items - I get perfectly even diced veggies with very little effort. I've used one for YEARS and finally needed a replacement and like this one much better than the original.. The bad reviews are probably due to usage error. You can't put half an onion on there and then expect to just press down! Of course it doesn't help that the picture on the box is doing exactly that. If you are realistic, then it works perfectly. For bell peppers I split them open and lay them flat for chopping - overlapping is ok. For onions I make 4 or 5 slices out of the onion then dice each slice. It barely requires pressure when you're using thin slices and then you get very finely diced veggies. I really enjoy the little cleaning comb too! It makes cleanup fun.

This was recommended by my dog's trainer as a quick and easy way to chop treats for training the dog. The trainer uses a meat roll and the two blades work great (slice the meat thin to use the large chopper and thick to use the small chopper and the treat size can be tailored to the size of the dog you're training. It's been a huge time saver, since I no longer have to hand slice and dice treats. I chop the treats into the different sizes then put in a freezer bag and freeze by size. When I'm ready for more treats, remove them from freezer. Takes hardly any time to thaw and they're ready to go.

I don’t really see much of an advantage over the regular version. You still have to chop everything into 1/4’s or they get jammed up. And if you use too much force it feels like it will break. Often they break at the hinges. Cleaning is always a pain. Especially the blades. Skins always get stuck even when rinsed and put in the dishwasher. It just comes out with dried on onion, tomato, pepper skins etc. And to keep track of the cleaning tool is another story. The tool only helps clean the lid. I use it almost everyday and would still recommend though

It incredibly speeds the process of cutting vegetables and fruits. It takes little imagination resulting in various shapes and sizes. Requires little force for cutting a hard onion. Does not work well on soft tomatoes, unless you remove the end slice with the peel. I have the cheper version without the metal plate, my daughter uses this one. Both work great. We use them for a year, and they still work, did not crack, and stay sharp.It jamms sometimes during cutting, but this is result of build up of vegetables' particles, and not removing them during the process of cutting larger portion.

This is now my 3rd vidalia chop wizard. It will be my last.The first one broke at the hinge point, but it lasted 5 years and saved so much time (and at the time a lack of similar items) I felt it worth buying another one.The 2nd one, one of the plastic feet cracked and caved inwards. This one lasted about 3 years. Was going to go with a different brand but saw the Elite version was out and thought I'd give it a shot. Plus I still had the blades and the lid from the old one that I could use as spares.Unfortunately, the only difference in the Elite and the regular chopper is a weak metal plate on the lid. There is no real benefit for using the Elite and after 6 months this time the base broke, again. Again it was one of the feet cracking and caving in.If they wish to product improve the chopper, the base needs major redesign.

I LOVE the Vidalia Onion Chopper so much. I just bought my 6th one! Mine gets tons of wear & eventually ‘tear’. I love the new improvement of Reinforced Stainless Steel Lid. Now I wish they would design steel measuring cup base, as thr current plastic base is why I have to keep ordering new choppers. The little plastic ‘knob’ (?) the lid sits on to chop breaks, eventually. Notice, I like it well enough that I keep ordering a new one every time it breaks. That’s how much I love it!

I love the Vidalia Chopper and have used my chopper often. It's easy, quick and no tears Was going to give it as gifts but decided against it after the chopper broke at the hinge twice for me, even with careful useage, not putting in the dishwasher and cutting large vegetables into smaller pieces beforehand. After seeing all the people who have had the same issue, I just don't understand why the company hasn't changed the design of the hinge. I'm thinking that the plastic gets brittle after a while and that's when the break happens. I sent an email to the company and am waiting to hear back. If they don't replace the bottom for free ( I paid for the first replacement) then I will never buy or recommend this chopper again.

Love it

サラダ用に購入しました。以前購入した商品が最悪だったので、こちらは本当に素晴らしい商品です。固めの人参はやっぱりそれなりの力がいりますが、それでもちゃんと切れますし、それ以外の野菜もサクサク切れます。升目が小さいサイズが付いているので、チョップドサラダには最適で見た目も綺麗です。星が4つなのは洗う時、蓋が少し外れにくいので初めての方は要領をつかむまで苦労するかと思います。切る時の音はこのタイプの調理器具ならではの大きな音もしますので気になる方はフードプロセッサーを。
