Bought this for chopping pecans to a good size for overnight oats. Also have used for some vegetables. Works really well. Only reasons I didn't give it 5 stars: - When I chop a bunch of pecans at a time, the small pieces and dust start collecting on the rubber cover and it messes with the seal. The bottom will sometimes pop off while I'm in the middle of chopping and make a mess. I just put a clean towel underneath so I can collect what flew out and clear the debrie messing with the cover. - The plunger gets stuck down sometimes, but not from clogging on food, it just sticks. Can be easily pulled back up. - If I didn't have a dishwasher, I would hate washing this by hand. - Sometimes misses some big pieces, but I'm ok with everything not being super uniform.

Firstly the plastic bottoms does not stay in place. So if you are using this chopper use it on a plastic hard plate. Secondly it can get loud when using it. So if noise is an issue for you don't buy it. Third the container that is attached to the base does not hold a large portion or serving of any food. So if you are buying to do any meal prep for more one person you may want to rethink buying another chopper that is bigger. My estimation it holds less than a regular 6oz cup/glass. The fourth and final issues will make your skin crawl literally and this is the end result of not being able to properly clean after every use. You cannot clean behind the blade and when handling any type of food whether it be nuts or herbs cleaning is important because you don't want to be eating food or spices you had a month ago or more. You literally have boil this chopper to effectively kill bacteria or other (maggots) that have been forming from your last use. It is poorly designed for cleaning and that makes this chopper a food hazard and for this reason DO NOT BUY IT. If you did not get what was said before read this. This my experience with this food chopper. It is hard to clean especially where the blade is housed and for this reason I score this chopper low. I learned the hard way with any kitchen appliance that cleaning is important. After your first use food particles will get trapped between the blade and the spring and over time these food particles will eventually break down . Now when food breaks down they form maggots and bacteria which might end up in your next meal. Even after washing and sterilizing this chopper food particles will still remain behind and you guessed it will form maggots. The good thing is that it traps everything moving inside so nothing can escape. So if you like snacking and harvesting maggots then this for you and your family. Enjoy ☺️

I own a restaurant. I use a variety of kitchen tools. Most are more trouble than they're worth and don't last. This Cuisinart chopper was a gamble but it's worked well, reliability, consistently, and is perfect for smaller jobs that dont demand a true food processor. It's also easy to clean and inexpensive. FYI, this review is after three years of nearly daily use.

I can chop but not like a chef. I thought this would beat me but it doesn’t. Food sticks and moves a little bit with the blades, it doesn’t chop very thinly. I don’t think it’s an issue with the device, it’s more the fact that the general concept is gimmicky and gadgety. Unnecessary.

Dicing is super easy with this and cleaning is too

The chopper works very well.
