Brieftons QuickPush Food Chopper (BR-QP-02): 200% More Container Capacity, 30% Heavier Duty, Kitchen Vegetable Fruit Dicer, Onion Tomato Potato Fries Cutter, with 3 Dicing Blades & Lid

I have been using the QuickPush Chopper everyday for about 1 week now and I am stunned to find myself describing somethign as simple as 'a veggie chopper' as being "Outstanding". I say "Outstanding" because: 1. The design is simple, uncluttered, unfussy and effective - simple to use, simple to clean, simple to maintain. 2. The manufacture is of a very high standard and is all the plastic and moving parts are robust, and the steel blades are sharp and also robust. 3. The effectiveness of use is consistent across a wide range of foodstuffs - soft, squishy, ripe tomatoes through to tough, thick sweet potatoes, turnips and cleriac; hard leafy cabbage to soft leafy lettuces; dense winter squashes and softer, summer squashes; onions, leeks, fennel and shallots; apples, pears, bananas and mangoes. Quality. When I watch adverts promoting American household items the main 'selling point' usually seems to be "time saving". Well, I live in rural France and, although I am British, I love cooking in the French-style. Quality and consistency are the critical success factors in French cuisines, not speed or convenience, and here is where I see the outstanding benefit of Brieftons Quickpush Chopper. The shape, size and consistency of chop, irrespective of the foodstuff, is fantastic - far superior than anything I can manage with my best Sabatier-K knife. (And, by the way, in a fraction of the time!!) I have been surprised and delighted by something I bought initially as an 'extra bit of kitchen kit', primarily to help my otherwise non-cooking partner, when they do make an effort to rustle-up a "spag-bol" or veggie casserole. This 'extra bit of kitchen kit' has rapidly turned into 'an essential bit of kitchen kit' and could well be putting some of my Sabatiers out of work! I strongly recommend the Brieftons QuickPush Chopper. PS - The Brieftons Spiralizer is fantastic as well!

These are a brilliant addition to any kitchen to make healthy meals quickly. They provide neatly and evenly chopped vegetables to pop in your meals. It helps us to sneak in vegetables to pasta sauces, for a very picky daughter. The blades are very sharp so you do have to be careful when cleaning taking apart, but the design means that it is safer than trying to chop onions into small pieces by hand. This is our second one of these items as we had used our previous one so much it finally went blunt. However, I can say that they are sturdy products as our first lasted 5 years of abuse! Based on that you can safely say they are good value for money. The instructions say hand wash only but also dishwasher safe. We pop it in the top rack of the dishwasher to clean.

I bought this for chopping salad vegetables and for chopping vegetables small enough for my four-year old son's meals. I'm pretty pleased with it so far, so here's the pros and cons Pros: 1. If you have a lot of veg to do, any more than one or two pieces, this is definitely much, much quicker if you're not a samurai with a kitchen knife. 2. Some veg are an absolute breeze - potato cubes, radishes, sweet potatoes and so on are cut in no time 3. It's very easy to separate into parts and clean. The comb thing works well under running water. Cons: 1. You have to chop harder root vegetables pretty small before using it as they're liable to get stuck halfway through requiring a lot of pushing to finish the job off, especially with the smallest blade. So carrots, for example, I always chop into 1cm discs before dicing them smaller. 2. I discovered the above the hard way. As a result of using a thick piece of carrot with the smallest square blade I shaved a small piece of plastic on the upper part off when trying to force it through, which fell into the veg. 3. I don't think it's great with fleshy veg. Onion, which I like in small pieces, often gets stuck. Cutting a pepper to the right shape to then dice is not worth the hassle. Cucumber only works if you go with thin discs like the carrot I find. So now that I've learned its good points and its limitations I'm pleased with it. It's a clever design. I like to make up enough mixed salad to last a couple of days and also things like stews, so 4 out of 5. It loses a star because it's not perfect and it's a bit pointless if you only need to chop a couple of individual pieces. But if you're careful with it I think you'll be pleased.

Brieftons QuickPush Food Chopper is the best gadget I have bought in the past 3-4 years. It is very simple, and has only two blades - I have not tried the small one so far, because the bigger one (which is small anyway), answers to all my chopping needs - be that chopping veggies for a Russian salad or for making soups or cooking other dishes. It assembles and dismantles easily, it is easy to wash - complete with a tiny but precise comb for making sure the top bit grate is washed properly. It is exactly what you see on the picture - and yet surprisingly useful Husband said the pieces were too small when I first used it to chop veggies for a Russian salad - but now even he thinks the chopper is good :) it definitely saves time and effort in the kitchen. I am very pleased with it. Still have not found a good mandolin grater - bought zillions of various novelty sets - to no avail... Adding this just to show that I am not a very easy one to please. However, the chopper is just the right one so far :)

I have used a similar product in the past (the first nicer dicer that came out). We were thinking about getting a new nicer dicer as the old one was not so great anymore-bent blades etc. Decided to go for this lower priced one instead after seeing how highly rated it is on Amazon. So glad we did as it does work really well, the 3 sizes of blades are great for different applications, and I like the big container, as can chop many ingredients for a single dish into it before emptying, or just make the recipe in there such as a salad or a sauce. It is relatively easy to clean, and has a little tool to clean between the plastic teeth (or between the blades if anything gets stuck). The blades are sharp enough to also slice through tomatoes, although the small blade would mash it a bit. Overall it makes dicing much faster, and generally easier and is great for dices salads, salsas, diced veg for steaming or roasting, and many other things.

I am 82 with arthritic hands. I have tried many such gadgets in the past, but the BRIEFTONS QUICKPUSH FOOD CHOPPER BR-QP-02 is outstanding. The three different chopping blades are super sharp and require little effort to operate. The rubber feet on the sturdy container make it safe and easy to use. Simple to wash by hand or in dishwasher and the components all store in the plastic container. The food looks attractive when chopped and is easy to store in the lidded container. I am well pleased with this versatile equipment.

I have previously used the Alligator chopper which I found to be really good, however, the plastic is not sturdy enough and it never lasted very long. After reading reviews for this product, decided to give it a go. There are two main things I have issues with. The cutting area. This is too small. You need to cut up onions/peppers etc into smaller pieces to fit them on the cutting area - so more chopping sort of defeats the object. Secondly, the lid. Yes a lid is helpful, but it doesn't actually 'fit'. So if you prepare food and put the lid on and knock the container, the lid will come off. So it's sort of pointless. A fitting lid will stop things spilling out and keep the contents inside fresh. To top it off, the very first thing I tried to chop was a pepper, which didn't chop very well and a lot of it got mushed up. On the plus side, it's easy to clean and the container is a good size. But overall I wouldn't recommend this. I think I'll save up and buy the new Stainless Steel Alligator Chopper.

Item consists of 1) a very strong plastic tub with 4 rubber feet to prevent slipping. 2) A normal plastic container lid. 3) The actual chopping mechanism. 4) 3 Different sized chopping grids. 5) A cleaning device. 6) A set of useful instructions. If anyone has ever owned a 'chipper' its very similar to this, but the design of this is much improved over previous incarnations. We use this mostly for onions - to do this you have to peel the onion (remove top bottom, half, remove skin, and half again). Once you got the peeled onion in quarters, you're ready to go. Simply attach the chopping mechanism to the container, taking a little time to ensure you 'catch' it onto the plastic lip on the container. Once done, raise the lid, slot in the chopping blade of your choice - the instructions do make recommendations. For onion, we use either the small or medium one. Then using a bit of strength, just press the chopping mechanism lid onto the onion, which presses it onto the blade, and within seconds and a single push, you have diced onion. Use what you need, then put on the container lid, and store in the fridge. The instructions recommend part boiling harder root vegetables. Being honest, we didn't bother and just used some strength to push it through. The chopping mechanism is very sturdy, and the non-slip rubber feet on the container really work well to stop it from sliding around when cutting. The blades are very sharp. I was inquisitive (and stupid) enough to feel the blades when it arrived only to slice my finger! The container is also larger than anticipated which does mean it needs a little more cupboard space than expected, but the benefit of that is you can potentially chop a whole meal in it! Cucumber sticks, cheese sticks, carrots, potatoes, onion, peppers, you name it, we've cut it!
