Brieftons QuickPush Manual Vegetable Chopper: 8-Cup Push-Down Onion Dicer & Food Chopper, 3 German Steel Blades, BPA-Free Container with Keep-Fresh Lid and Cleaning Comb - Manual, Dishwasher Safe

This chopper suits my needs. It is easy to handle and to clean. I have had choppers before that were too hard to use but so far this one has done the job with little effort. I have arthritis in my hands and the way this chopper is designed means that any stress points are in the palm of my hand and away from the thumb joint. The way the leverage works means that it doesn't take much effort to chop food. It is a good size for storage in a small kitchen. The compartment under the blades comes with a lid so I can chop ahead and store in the 'fridge. It is economical enough that someone like me can afford to have some of the convenience of expensive food processors. An added benefit that I didn't expect-- it came while I have the flu. Not wanting to stand in the kitchen and cook I had been making due with ramen noodles. I just used the chopper to quickly fix a nice vegetable meal and clean up after. I foresee that this device will lead to healthier dining even when I am not feeling so good. A note about the sellers... they seem to have a real interest in the outcome of their product and have made available recipe books and other informative ebooks about the health benefit of natural foods. I haven't had any problems with their products but I get the sense that if I did they would be friendly and approachable. I was just going to add that I was chopping some medium sized red salad potatoes. It was really easy to chop the whole potato without pushing very hard at all. The only time this chopper seems to hang up is when any part of the item bulges over the plastic surrounding the blade grid I tended to get discouraged until I looked close and determined that all it needed was a little trim. I like this device a lot. I had a nice potato soup that day. Another add on. Yesterday I made short work on four large onions. I quartered them so they would fit on the grid and chopped away. It was the fastest easiest onion chopping I could imagine. I make a big batch of soup and this particular chore is one reason I put off doing it. Not such an objectionable deal now.

I just love the QuickPush Food Chopper, it is sturdy, doesn't slip on my countertop, has a storage lid, it is not hard to push, and is easy to clean up! I tried to put it through its paces. I started with potatoes and an onion for home-fried potatoes. At dinner, I peeled a few extra potatoes to try my QuickPush. I dislike cutting potatoes into cubes, one of the reasons I don't make home-fries often. I used the 1/2" dicer and cut my potato in about 1/2" slices, within seconds I had all the potatoes cut into beautiful 1/2" cubes. Up next was the onion, I used the 1/4" dicer and again cut the onion into 1/4" slices, again it was so quick and I had perfect diced onion. The best part, I left the potato and onion in the container, added water to cover the veggies and left them in the fridge all night. In the morning I drained my veggies and made my home-fries! It was great!! I then decided I would do a stir fry for dinner, I pre-cooked my carrots so they weren't to hard. I wanted them like shoestring cuts, so I used the 1/4" blade and cut my carrots in about 2" lengths, but it sure did the trick, I tried green and red peppers, I cut them in half lengthwise and than in half across the pepper, using the same blade, I started the cut by pushing the flat end onto the blade and used a slower push. It didn't do too bad, I had some shoestring cuts and a few diced peppers. In my mind it was good. :) Overall, I was pleased with my stir fry. My last test was to cut cheese for Mac and Cheese the next day for dinner. When I make this my husband, wants Sharp cheese, so I used the 1/2" blade and a block of cheese cut into about 1/4" slices, plus an extra cut so it would fit the blade. It was the fastest I have ever cut up cheese it was Great! I can see lots of use for my QuickPush when summer's garden starts producing. Thank you, Brieftons for another great Kitchen tool that makes my work easy and should I say fun! :) Oh, if you haven't tried their Spiralizer it is another wonderful product that makes my time in the kitchen so much easier.

I absolutely love this product! Normally I use my food processor to chop things, which is alright, but it doesn't get those absolutely perfect cuts. This gets absolutely perfect cuts. I've been using this for a couple weeks now to make salads, and the device has held up very well. In all honesty I thought that a 19 dollar chopper would break after a few uses, but it's just as good as new still! The square blades don't look very sharp, but please don't let that fool you. I've sliced my fingers a few times because I used my finger to try to get a bit of extra food off, or rested it on there. Also, the little plastic brush you get with this is absolutely useless. I used it once, and after one very gentle pass through it broke. A stiff kitchen brush does the trick though. These are my thoughts on the veggies I've used it on so far: Mushrooms - Don't use it for mushrooms. It cut the mushrooms perfectly and I had the world's most amazing looking mushroom cubes, but oh my was it a total pain to clean. The soft mushrooms get stuck SO EASILY in the green grid at the top, and it took a solid 30 minutes to clear it. Definitely will be using the food processor for mushrooms still Onions - If I only got one food to use with this, I would pick an onion. All I did was cut it in half (thirds or quarters for larger onions), put it on the chopping part, and got diced onions without any tears or hassle. Since the onion already has rings, it makes it probably one of the easiest veggies to chop with almost no prep. Bell peppers - Absolutely perfect as well. My one minor issue with the bell peppers, is that they need to be cut down to size a bit to fit completely in the square part. If they sold a larger version of this, I'd buy it right away so I could just put a whole section of bell pepper easily Cucumbers - Same thing as bell peppers. Once they're cut a bit to size, you can just throw a piece on there, slap it down and get perfect diced cucumbers. I'm sure you could also do cucumber strips, but that's not usually what I need so I haven't tried yet Cherry tomatoes - Doable, but be careful! The tomatoes tend to roll onto the sides of the cutting area and get pushed down strangely. They also get EVERYWHERE because some of them will pop and explode. I found tomato bits 2 days later on a wall like 4 feet away from where I was. I can't wait to try it with normal sliced tomatoes though, since I don't think they'll have the exploding and sliding problem. Even with the mess it made, dear god were the tomatoes absolutely perfect. After sitting in the container for a bit while you chop more tomatoes, the juice naturally separates from the tomato bits, and you can spoon out tiny little perfect tomato pieces. You know how nice salsa looks when it doesn't have a ton of juice and seeds? Think that. It's fantastic. Carrots - I'll stick to grating them in the food processor. It's not that you can't use this, it's just that carrots are quite hard and you need to put a lot of pressure to cut it, so it's way more work (for me, I'm not strong) than just chopping by hand or grating in the food processor. TL;DR: -It's perfect for medium hard veggies like bell peppers, onions, or cucumbers. -The softer the veggie, the more of a pain it is to clean -The harder the veggie, the more pressure you need to cut it, so it might not be worth it.

I purchased this product instead of the comparable OXO version because it looked sturdy. I initially had issues with figuring out how to remove the blade, but followed the instructions, used a little more strength and was successful. I like the fact that the blades snap in and stay in, so a little extra elbow-grease is no big deal to me. I also realized pretty quickly that overloading it before trying to use the chopping level is counterproductive. I simply decreased the quantity I cut at one time and it works like a charm. For celery, I find that the laying them curved side up so the spiny portion is exposed to the lid pusher arm works best. For bigger ends of carrots, I sliced them length-wise and put the flat side down -- no problem. I like the cleaning tool that comes with it to clean the smaller, tighter grid surface area of the green lid pusher that does the hard work. That tool and the sprayer feature on my kitchen faucet worked fine to clean that part of the contraption in a minute or less (I noticed someone complaining about it taking 30 minutes to clean -- my impression is that just depends on how you try to clean it; if need be, I will use the tried and true "soak it in water first method -- I have not tried to use this with cheeses but imagine that soaking the pusher in warm water before cleaning may be required). I would have given this device a 5 star rating but I would like to see it with a cutting surface that is a bit bigger. Having said that, I realize that may not be the most ergonomically sound revision to the product, also taking into consideration that the container and lid are sized for ease of refrigerator storage. I liked this so much I have already bought several more for Xmas gifts. I plan to give it to my friend's who like to cook and my young grandson who is a huge fan of fresh veggies and apples. It's high time he learned to make his own snacks and school lunches and I know he will find this device fun and easy to use!

I love this kitchen item. Chopping onions is my LEAST favorite thing to do. My eyes are sensitive. I cry easily from it. This chopper has been a game changer for me. It saves me time too. I use this chopper to make potato salad and it saves me a bunch of time AND My salads look so uniform and professional. I do have to create reasonable slices, even for onions. But I press the latch down and bam, my food is collected in a nice container and I keep going. Making chili is now a snap. Chopping veggies is so much easier now than every before. I also don’t have to worry about knife cuts. You DO have to stay the heck away from the blades on the inserts though. Don’t touch them. They are seriously sharp. So far I’ve used this to chop veggies for soup, stew, chili, salad, potato salad, and for pickling veggies. This works great for making pics de Gallo and salsas. I’ve even made a ragout with it. One of my best kitchen gadgets that not only saves me time, it saves me onion tears and cleanup is a snap. I rinse the blades well, I use the tool to clean the grid on the lid, and it goes in the dishwasher. Love this item! Update: I had a problem with one of the blades (the one that makes the largest cubes). I contacted Brieftons via email and had a response within 24-48 hours. They sent me a replacement which arrived about 10 days after my contact. Very easy to deal with them and I’m back to chopping with ease!

After using another brand of food chopper for years until it literally fell apart, this one was an absolute upgrade in every possible way. Honestly, my old chopper breaking was a blessing because it led me to the Brieftons QuickPush Food Chopper—and I couldn’t be happier with it. The container capacity is a total game changer. It’s more than double the size of my old one, which means fewer batches and way less mess when prepping onions, fruits, or veggies. I also love how easy and convenient it is to switch out the blades, and the fact that it comes with three different blade sizes makes it incredibly versatile for everything from fine chopping to dicing. One of my favorite features is the keep-fresh lid. Being able to cover leftovers directly in the container is such a smart, practical addition and saves me from transferring food to another dish. Everything about this chopper feels sturdy, well-made, and thoughtfully designed. I truly love this product and am so happy with it—highly recommend to anyone looking for a durable, high-capacity, easy-to-use food chopper - and for the price it literally cannot be beat!

While there are many other styles of choppers on the market, finding something to chop large quantities of onions has been problematic. Very small batches can be quickly done with a "slap chop" style hand chopper. But that gets tedious for large batches. Food processors and blenders tend to produce bitter tasting onions. This chopper works well for large batches of onions while still being easy to clean. I've also tried it with eggs using the largest grid for a cobb salad and the middle grid for egg salad made with mayonnaise. Both came out well. The receiving container is a nice plus when you are doing a variety of veggies for a single dish - think cobb salad or vegetable soup. The ease of use is enhanced by decent ergonomics. Easy to assemble/disassemble. Smooth chopping motion that requires little strength and no torque on hands or wrists. The little cleaner brush works very well but you may want to keep a kitchen brush available to clean out the corners of the blade grids. A few other minor caveats. Anything you want to chop must fit on the blade grid or else your food won't chop. If you want cubes, use food slices the thickness of the grid you are using. The quality is serviceable enough - especially at the price - but Lastly, the blades on the top side are sharp. Take care when cleaning and handle from the underside where the blades are intentionally left dull. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. It fills the need it was bought for.

Item is not as good as the first Briefton I purchased. The cover does not stay on, does not seem heavy duty as described

Received Breiftans QuickPush food chopper. Started using it. Chops very well. Definitely speeding up my food prep time.

Chops pretty much everything. Such a time saver

I have been using this chopper since 1 month and I'm really happy with it, I tried another one before and since it had a lot of stuff I wasn't satisfied. This one instead it's easy to use, have multiple sizes that fit perfect common needs but does one thing and does it well, I used it to keep our most used vegetables before frozen them.

I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a vegetable chopper of these for ages; then people in my SlimmingWorld group started talking about them and how much time they saved so I decided to investigate further. I was bewildered by the amount of choice but decided on this one as it had as a lot of positive reviews and seemed to offer good value for money. I am so happy with my purchase! The blades are very sharp and chop vegetables in seconds – onions, peppers, carrots, potato etc. It has already saved me so much time I wish I’d found it years before. It’s not difficult to clean, especially with the little cleaning comb provided, just take care with the blades as they are very sharp – which is obviously why they work so well. I would recommend this to anyone looking to save hours in the kitchen on food prep.

Very good , saves loads of time.
