OXO Good Grips Vegetable and Onion Chopper with Easy Pour Opening

Fantastic and easy
I was given this for Christmas last year and was not sure if I would actually use it. I have had so many different types of choppers, and either they are a pain to clean or they end up actually being difficult to use or something.I wanted it to be easy. I was not sure about this since I did not pick it out myself.It is everything I wanted. It is super easy.Read the directions. They help.In order to clean it all you do is raise the lid and lift it straight off. Then separate the bottom two parts. They seem like they’re hard to get apart but practice with it before and you’ll see they are super easy.There’s also a purple thing that you pull, and it prevents any food getting stuck in the lid.I have developed some little hints that I think work well. I chop the broccoli first because it is the messiest. Everything else after that helps clean all the broccoli off of the chopper.Things like carrots can get stuck but the trick is to put more carrots on top of them which push the first carrots through. Then it’s easy.I have not tried onion because I don’t care about onion. I have chopped zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and some other vegetables.I make myself vegetable soup every day and I chop enough to last for a few days. I use old (clean!) peanut butter jars to store the chopped vegetables. In the glass jars, the vegetables stay very fresh.I have never washed this in a dishwasher because I don’t have a dishwasher but I’m sure this would do very well.It’s so nice and such a good value that I ordered three more for gifts. This is the only chopper I have ever used consistently.

Seems solid, easy to clean and use
Wish had more than 1 chopping size option but I do like that it’s straightforward, the base locks on and it’s one solid piece which would make cleaning the top half easier but perhaps not the chopping part. The base comes off easy enough and I love that its non slip.If want something simple, this is it. I have not used it as it has a flaw and want to address that so I am not risking bacteria growth where it seemed to have melted when putting the non slip rubber on the top.Update: Tried it last night and sorta worked good. Had issues with it not chopping fully, chopped zucchini, summer squash, Onion, red potatoes and bell peppers.When I went to dump out the backside it didn’t dump and had to reach in to get quite a bit as well as tapped it with my hand too to try to knock out.Pretty sure it will be returned, sadly.

Not a good choice
I bought this based on a Consumer reports recommendation, but I was misled. I was concerned when there were absolutely no instructions included. The label in the lid saying “Press here to snap purple grid into place” is confusing since pressing there will do nothing, but it did make me curious about removing the grid. It is a cleaning aid. However, after removing and replacing the grid, the first time I closed the device the plastic grid fell off and was cut up by the blades. It will now no longer stay in place as designed, although another reviewer showed a photo of putting it in sideways, which does help, though more difficult to remove.The container is small, so it must be emptied frequently so it does not overflow out the back. “Wet” items, such as tomatoes and other juicy items, stick to it and do not simply pour out. In fact, my experience with tomatoes is not good, since they also get stuck in the blades, or run down the sloped front of the device onto the counter. I could not find out how to take the body of the device apart for cleaning, until I saw another user’s video.In short, I would not buy this again. See photos for illustration of some of these issues.

Can’t handle large onions
I bought this specifically to dice the large yellow onions I cook with virtually every night, but it can’t do the job. If you trim the ends and outer layer from a large onion and stand it in the device like the instructions say, it won’t fit. If you cut the onion in half and put each flat side down, the blades are not sharp enough to cut through the top layers of onion skin. Worse, what does cut comes out in 1/2″ chunks, so big I had to dump them onto my cutting board and hand cut them further for a dice. This device may work for soft fruit or vegetables, but definitely not for more challenging ones with tougher skins. A very rare failed OXO product. Am returning it.

This is a superb bit of kit. I have used it every day so far. Even if I only used it to chop onions ( the bane of my life) that alone would justify the purchase. But I also find it useful for chopping other vegetables such as carrots and courgettes and celery for my soup maker or even making soup on the hob. It’s definitely time saving and everything is contained in the container. I have a little trouble opening it for cleaning but it’s not essential for every day cleaning. It is sharp. Keep your fingers away from the cutting blades.

It is very well made but it cuts pieces into rather large chunks. I thought it would be much finer…
