Is this a lever type chopper, or do you have to push the handle to move the vegetable through the blade?

With a vegetable in the vessel, you grab the handleand pull it pull it forward. This pushed the veggie thru the cutters. Works great.

It's not a chopper. It's a lever which pushes the potato through a grid of blades creating the shape of the french fry.

Not easily Patricia. It basically takes two hands. One to hold the body of the chopper, the other to push down on the plunger. I then just held the blades under hot running water. The blades have a very good finish on them, so the food particles rinsed off easily.Not wanting to break it, I couldn't see how it could come apart for easier cleaning. Hope this helps.

It chops well but it would be easier if the handle were taller. Its a decent chopper for the price but not as great as the Pampered Chef.

it's great. my wife says it's the best chopper she has ever owned. she says it will chop onions or any other vegetable as fine as you want them.

Its not a chopper. It does slice very thinly. You can criss cross over the blade and get a cubing effect.

I've had it for too long to remember, but it is pretty easy to operate, should be able to figure it out. I use mine with the triple chopper blade to make salsa. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, jalaps, 12 cranks and it's done.

No. Unless you have very small hands, the handle fits one hand, which is all you need anyways. One hand rock back and forth and you have the best chopper on the market. I dont think you need two hands at all.

No, it is a manual push. In fact, it is very easy to push. I'm not sure what the previous answer from Joe was referring to, but this mower need not be on to move around.

It replaces the chopping blade. Tried it once to make a salad dressing but it didn't work very well.

The handle locks in place, so you release it and then it pops up. You lift the lid, place your salad inside after you prewash it. Then place the lid back on the spinner, pump the handle down, it automatically spins taking out the excess liquid. It has an inner basket for easy removal. You disguard the excess water and can use the clear base to serve the salad. I use mine everytime I make a salad.

Yes! The blade is spring loaded and this allows it to move in and out following the shape of the apple. This lever can be moved away as there is a latch that allows you to core and slice the apple. To the best of my knowledge, all these types of apple peelers have this function.

Operates by cranking handle. Motor is separate attachment and not necessary.

it is a one lever system, very easy and not like other mowers. simplest i have seen.

Yes there is a release lever inside of the knife. You push it to the side and the blade releases from its locked position.

No, it just has the white plastic box shown in the photo, in which you place the cabbage. If I remember correctly, it didn't come with a pusher. I wear a cutting glove and use another pusher I have for a smaller mandoline, but the best bet is just to back off and not try to slice that last hunk of cabbage. This thing makes short work of the job and produces perfect strings for sauerkraut. The company is a bunch of jerks, though....I tried to get a better explanation of their faulty instructions for adjusting the gizmo and they just laughed at me.Caveat emptor.

It's flimsy and hard to use, to be honest. I've had some success with onions, and only if i cut up the onions in like 8 wedges, first. For carrots and harder vegetables the mechanism for the blades gets like stuck. Here's what was irritating to me.....It's not stable. It doesn't have any stability as you're trying to turn the handle to chop the vegetables. It's clumsy, and awkward, and to me it's not worth the aggravation.

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan
