Most members are satisfied with this compact and easily stored food processor that allows cooks to chop an onion in seconds without shedding a single tear or having to deal with the smell of onion on their hands. The chopper works for all kinds of fruits and veggies as well. Member MommyMart writes, “I use my chopper all the time. I love it! It saves me time with dinner prep. I use it to chop all my salad veggies, finely chop onions, mushrooms and more.”
Pampered Chef Mix N Chop
Our members love mixing and chopping all kinds of food with this Pampered Chef product. From chopping ground beef to smashing potatoes, the Mix N Chop helps many of our cooks spend less time and effort getting the job done. Members reveal that this durable kitchen tool chops food evenly while you mix. Member cjsime007 comments, “I am still finding new ways to use this. Besides just using it for ground beef I like using mine for chunky mashed potatoes, smashing tomatoes, hard boiled eggs . . . On and on! Love it. (have to agree with other reviews, it can be a pain to clean, BUT the ease to use it is worth it IMO).”
Black & Decker Handy Chopper
Most members agree that this compact inexpensive chopper is a huge time saver in the kitchen. The electric chopper has a single one-touch button with pulse control and works for chopping meats, veggies, fruits, and nuts. Member mamajama explains why she chose this chopper over all the rest, “Choosing just one product was tough but I have to say that the mini chopper is one of the best gadgets that I have in my kitchen...I think every person should have one in the kitchen...I bought it at Shoprite for $5.00 and it works just as great as those more expensive brands...when it breaks or dulls in about 5 years or so, I just buy a new one, its so cheap...You would be surprised at how often you would use it and how handy it is...I would say i use this product the most out of all my other products!”

LOVE my vidalia chop wizard. slice and chop!
I have one of those choppers but honestly I find a nice sharp knife and cutting board more effective!
I just love Pampered Chef!! There chopper is great, I use it all the time!!
I use my Zwilling Henkels knife or Zyliss mandolin.
I chop with a knife and a plastic cutting board. I slice onions in half and then from top to bottom so that when I cut slices it is pretty much already diced. I also have a food processor but still choose a regular knife to avoid having to clean the machine. Wish I had a better way.
I always just use a good knife and a cutting board...less clean up : )
I have always used a knife and cutting board, but lots of positive remarks about these make make wonder if I should make the switch...
I have the Vadiala chop. Very easy to work and No more tears, Ladies. LOVE IT
I pretty much always use a knife, except when I am cooking a large meal.
i chop with a knife, i have one of those choppers but find them hard to store and then forget about them at times since they blend with all the other items in my pantry
I love my Pampered Chef chopper. I have nearly worn it out, I like it so much!
Vadiala chop.. simple and easy. but Mine is broke so I am trying to find another one. ARGE... I do have a pampered chef hand food chopper that works pretty good.
I have the Pampered Chef Mix N Chop and I absolutly love it!!! I don't know what I would do without it. I chop up everything from ground beef, chicken, mushrooms! It's very handy, easy to clean and is dishwasher safe! I swear by Pampered Chef products!!
I do have a Pampered Chef hand chopper, but most of the time I just use a knife.
Always wanted to try one of these...but I stick to the good old fashioned way...a great Santoku knife and a bamboo cutting board :-)
