UPDATE: 6/14/2022: I have been using this for 2 months now and it does great on slicing onions and potatoes. The very small slicer does not work. You also have to slice your onion and potato in half before using this kitchen appliance. I do not recommend this if you have arthritis or limit mobility in your wrist and hand. It does not stick to your counter top but it does do the job. it slices everything evenly and would be great for salads, or plate decorations. Its still worth the buy if you can get it on sale. Here is the link: amzn.to/39pCHxs
Small dicer is fabulous for jalapeños garlic etc. glad you figured out to use it. I absolutely love mine so much I bought my daughter and daughter in law one
The onions outer layers, and stem portion are very tough and no chopper will cut that part easily. Also, if the item overlaps onto the plastic area outside the cutting blade that will hold the chopper from closing /cutting. If the piece you're chopping fits within the metal area, this thing should slice like butter.
I just used the small chopper to dice an onion. I cut the onion into 3rds and it was easy to push through. It is still much faster and a lot less tears.
I bought this because I had just had surgery on my thumb and could not hold a knife safely to cut an onion. You definitely have to clean the before. You cut it in half and then place it on the slicer. Be careful not to have any onion hanging over onto the green part of the slicer. It worked really well for me because I was able to push down with one hand while holding onto the other end. When chopping bell peppers I cut them in half clean them and cut them in for in order for them to fit onto the slicer and not have any part hanging over.
I have been using this for a month now and its perfect. I recommend that for tomatoes cut the into halves with the open side facing down and for onions and bell peppers cut them into halves and then in quarters and you get it perfect and enjoy your slicer.
Using the dicer, I've only used it once to make some Pico, with purple onion, tomato and jalapeños topped off with lime juice. Quickly figured out if you bring the lid down firm and hard, with slight smack from the butt of your hand, it punches whatever you have on it through a lot cleaner. Plus don't put giant pieces on it...pieces that only cover up to ⅔ of the blade plate works good.
You need to slice veggies to properly fit with in the square, it's not meant to slice whole items. Also, when slicing skin needs to be down towards blade.. I love this little handy dandy gadget!!! It cuts the time in half.. literally!!! Hope this helps!
The onion has to be smaller than the blades. If it hangs over on the green part, it won't work!! I have a real mandolin and one and one by Cuisinart, and they both work the same way! You have to take time to learn the intricacies of the device!
I love mine so much!!! It saves me so much time for making soup!! You have to give it a good whack! Then you’ll love it!!! I like this so much better than the Pampered Chef Chopper which I used for 30 yrs!
Thank you for your review. I was going to purchase this item, but after watching your video .... Thanks so much for an honest review and saving me my $$$$.
Please don't review a product unless you learn how to use it. The way you trying to chop is onion is not right. Its is hard to press cause the onion is touching on the green blade frame.
@@Christinesworldspice Sweetheart, Manu is right, the way you demonstrated this product almost stopped me from buying it, however when I saw it demonstrated the correct way I went ahead and am very happy with it. Sorry if you think we are rude, but most people appreciate a proper demo before buying. I really hope you have learned how to use this product because I'm sure it will be an immense help to you
@@vickis3536 Thank you Luv for being respectful and kind with your words. I totally agree that this review did not do justice to this product. I actually used this on a video I posted today and in previous videos. It's a good kitchen appliance.
@@Christinesworldspice amen, I bought 2 of these things and am so disappointed, it seems that they are ten times more trouble than good.......I like to see someone tell me the truth
Wow, no creative thinking here. You have no idea what you’re doing. I have this and love it. I never even read the instructions. There was absolutely no need to.
Dang, really? No need for such a negative comment. I specifically pinned my comment and noted it in the description box that I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. I’m old school, a knife and a cutting board. I don’t like to do things the lazy or easy way. Have a wonderful day!
This is awesome!!! I don’t work for this thing or anything, but this thing works ! You just need to know how to use it I just made an amazing Mexican salsa !! It does even cilantro!!! Love it love it totally worth it to me ❤️
From observation looks like when you placed the onion on the slicer the green area is where the food is supposed to stay inside of if the fruit or vegetables are on the outside of the green area it will not be easy to slice or chop if the fruit has a wide body.
Now I can tell she can’t be no cooker because first things first, you know you’re not trying to have the ends of the onion end up in that container so cut them off! Second, the onion is obviously too dang big so cut in quarters before attempting to dice it! I just used mine for the first time yesterday and just came on here looking for more kitchen prep ideas I can use this for.
Honey pie you can be a cook and not know how to use this thing, especially if you’re use to cutting your veggies with a knife. This cheap ass component is for lazy people who don’t want to put in the work in cutting their own food up. Sorry but not sorry. I gave my opinion. I gave mines away because it was not useful. By time I cut my veggies I could of sliced it with my knives rather than using this crap. And Then you have to soak the parts in hot water just to get the access veggies from the blades which is sharp af! 🤔😳🥵😮💨🙄 nope! I rather not, but good luck! 👍🏾🍀
I’m a horrible onion cutter 😮😂. I just ordered on Amazon. I watched the video then read the comments on your video. so I’m looking fowArd on using this for thanksgiving dinner.
I updated my review in the description box... Did you not check it out? This piece is convenient but it is not meant for everyone. The instructions are not precise and the unit does not have suction cups at the bottom to prevent it from moving, which is hazardous. I find that an electric food processor/slicer would be more convenient and easier to use then this thing. But I would recommend this slicer for camping or off grid living. That is my opinion. Glad you like yours. Everyone has a right to speak their opinion and this video is mines.
I have used it as the slicer with moderate satisfaction, I'm not overwhelmed with it that's for sure. As far as dicing? It's pitiful tool for dicing. I sliced my onions in small rounds about a half inch in diameter and still not able to get good dicing. The potatoes? Well, forget that! I will not be using this one, it was a wasted purchase. I need something that is a much more efficient multi dicer for meal prep.
Sorry but this is not a fair review. Should be done in the kitchen and food needs to be prepared properly. Wash your potatoes and peel and cut onions ready to slice and dice.
I understand. Please read the post in my comments section that is pinned. I will do another video soon. After a month of using it I revised my review in the comments section. Thank u.
The older version is in the garbage. Poor performance, annoying cleanup. Chopping an onion with the small square unit? I tried everything and every way possible. Not recommended.
You shouldn't review an item until you know how to use it. You made several mistakes, which caused the problems you were having. And please, don't hold your thumb under the guard!!
Sorry but are doing it wrong tiu cut the onions in small pieces like cut it in half and the half you cut it in the middle that i cut mine and they come out perfect
1st you need a sturdy table, cut your onion where it fits in the center of the green square. i feel you cannot give a good review if you're not even in a kitchen or using a counter , you're on a computer unstable table thats not a very fair review.
My review still stands. It is not suitable for someone who is not very mobile in the wrist. I done it on a counter top as well and my review and opinion is fair and I'm sticking behind it. It does not have suction cups at the bottom to prevent the slicer from moving. And if I have to slice my vegetable or fruit in half just to use this then why not finish cutting it myself. 🤷♀️ if you have to pull a knife out why not just dice it yourself.
@@Christinesworldspice I think it saves time from cutting the entire vegetable or fruit...for me it's worth it as a time saver when making veggies. Also just fyi the newer versions of this product have black rubbers on the bottom to keep the machine from moving. I just brought mine last week off amazon, I guess they possibly upgraded the product
@@veve4ever my updated review in the comment section agree with you... oh wow thanks for informing me about the newer version I didn't know that. I will certainly look into that.🥰👌😁

I totally agree on the difficulty with cutting onions. It was a waste for that purpose. The mandolin is pretty good.
No I already returned it it wasn’t good enough for me//
Small dicer is fabulous for jalapeños garlic etc. glad you figured out to use it. I absolutely love mine so much I bought my daughter and daughter in law one
I like how everyone is defending the product. It tells me that it actually works and the user just needs to learn how to use it properly.
The very first thing I did with my chopper was onions and I was SOLD! Lovely little diced onions! I have since done peppers and carrots.
Sounds great!
I absolutely love mine. I cut my onions down about in thirds, and it works great. I use it for all of my vegetables.
Can you please do me a favour and measure the working surface of the the dicer tool? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

cut your onion into quarters and it works fine
Yea I did end up cutting it in half but I felt it’s useless if I still have to pull out my knifes.
@@Christinesworldspice not in half but cut it in four cubes and then cut
Your onion is to big and got stuck in the edges of the blades's frame
You have to get it in the square space only no overlapping
Thanks.

I first slice the onion to thick slices.
You are having to mash your whole onion thru the chopper. Watch some other reviews where they cut the onion and are doing a quick, snap motion.
Thanks, I figured it out. 😁
Great video!

Thanks for reading the comments😁 and watching the video. It is a handy to have because I foremost do not like cutting neither.
Can someone who owns the chopper measure the working surface of the dicer tool? I wonder how big a vegetable it can fit to chop it.
Thank you sooo much !!!!Was already in my cart. Not anymore. The reason i was buying because the onions.
You're welcome. It does cut the onions but you would still have to slice it in half before putting it in the slicer.
This thing is awesome, this lady doesn’t know how to use it !!! I will need to make a video ! Saved me a lot of time even works with tomatoes!!!!!

@@Christinesworldspice you did help me figure out how to use it though
How do you put this thing back together so you can store it!?
You have to whack it. You can't press down. Pressing down will just mash the food. Give a firm, quick hit with your hand.
Thanks for your positive suggestion. 🥰
It cuts ok not going to lie, but mine makes a loud noise every time i press it. Like annoying hurtful loud.
I totally agree!

Pretty sure you're supposed to hit the top and slam the stuff through fast, not press and squeeze it.
Yea I thought that to but I was suppose to cut the onion in half first.
I just purchased this and it didn’t come with the slicer holder. I’m gonna call the company on Monday
Did you buy it from Amazon?
