It saves so much time chopping. I really like the way this chopper works. I also like the fact the it is dishwasher safe.
It does take a bit of effort. 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.
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.
I love this thing. It's not pretty.
Makes quick work of onions and bell peppers. The other reviewers do have a point.

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 finally allowed myself to buy one a few weeks ago. 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). 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.
So it really isn't satisfaction guaranteed at all, it's just warranted against breakage.Definitely not a recommended item. 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.
It may be dishwasher safe, but the dishwasher can't get the tiny holes in the blade, nor the grooves in the lid, clean. 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. 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.
It took me ages to clean both of those parts by hand after it had gone through an unsuccessful dishwasher cycle. 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. I'll take my cutting board and a plain ole' knife any day.
This was a a gift. I own and have recommended this chopper to many friends. A repurchase. Make sure you do not lose the cheaning tool; it is a must and makes cleanup easy.
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. This is my second one. For onions, just make 3/4 in slices and cut for easier use after removing outer tough layer, that can be chopped separately.
