If you love diced veggies and salsa… this is for you!
Well… I read all the reviews - even those saying that people cut themselves on the sharp blades.I thought… “Note to self… I’ll be very careful. I won’t cut myself.”Well, I took it out of the packaging and upon my FIRST attempt to use it, I sliced 3 fingers in multiple places. They bled for hours… every time I took the towel that I used to put pressure on it, my fingers would bleed again. Not worthy of a hospital visit. It worked itself out with constant pressure - just took longer than anticipated. A few days of bandaids all over the tops of my fingers and I’m all good 😊Is it just me… When you reach into a bowl of diced veggies mix it up… don’t you naturally reach into the bowl from the top (above)?That said, I automatically went to reach in (top was open) to see how the diced veggies came out.BIG MISTAKE. I essentially hit my finger tips into the blades on the small dicer and immediately cut myself. That’s all it took!So… when you want to check out the finely diced veggies… REMEMBER to slide the drawer open first, then reach in there - not over the blades 😊Aside from that, as a lover of tabouleh salad and huge salads with a variety of diced veggies, this is a great purchase.Making my famous salsa and tabouleh salad was a pain because I hated the prep work it took to finely cut all the veggies.With minimal prep, this gadget is AMAZING m, makes dicing a breeze, and it’s easy to clean.I still have to try the other blades but so far so good.I’m curious how long the blades will stay as sharp as they are initially - warranty with normal use.With weekly use, 2-3 times a week, I hope they last at least a year.Great buy though! Almost $45 seemed pricey for a small kitchen gadget, but worth it.

Works really well at dicing
The harder you hit it the better it works! People who complain about it not working well don't hit it hard enough. I have always been a had slicer and dicer but this thing is fun to use to get the job dont for big batches. Well built. Most of the attachments I don't use but still worth the money.

I love this thing!!!
I'm a disabled person who can't stand for long periods to do food prep. Prepping my favorite foods like chow mein & spring rolls was just killing me. I wasn't eating the healthier foods because I just didn't have the "spoons" to do the food prep.I first bought a mandoline to shred the cabbage, but the resulting shreds were so thin that I was back to square one. I bought this & it came a couple of days ago. I tried it today & got an entire gallon freezer bag of cabbage in 5-7 mins & that included putting together the parts I wanted to use & doing it for the first time. It'll be so much faster on subsequent times, probably 3 mins for a whole head of cabbage. There's a lot of waste, but I saved some choice stuff for my dog who loves cabbage & some for the deer & critters outside. If *someone* is eating it, it's not really a waste in my book :DI also shredded a whole big brick of cheese in about 5 mins as well. That was actually my first experiment. Again, there's a lot of waste & my hand crank cheese grater is actually faster for cheese than this thing with basically no waste, so I'll continue using that for cheese.It's made julienning carrots so much faster as well, which was the 2nd miracle I was hoping for & wasn't disappointed. I hesitated spending $40 for this thing, so it took me a few months of being on the fence before I finally bought it, but it's well worth the money. I feel like with this use it already paid for itself just because it saved me so much pain & time. And I got more out of it than I would have if I spent longer doing it by hand.So, if you're like me at all & pain is keeping you from healthy food prep -- JUST BUY IT. Do this nice thing for yourself because it'll pay off in so many ways. Just be extremely careful with these sharp, sharp blades. I didn't have a single mishap.Others have said there should be a lid on the blade holder box, but it really isn't needed because you can store the sharp part down, so the part you grab to get it out of there isn't sharp. That's what I did & it seems that's exactly what was intended. Treat it like the dishwasher & load the sharp bits pointing DOWN.Anyway, totally worth the money & I give it 5 stars. When I wear this out, I'll absolutely buy it again. I wish I hadn't waited so long.
