Worked great ... ONCE ... then broke
By MADbookshelf
The second time I used mine the bottom part broke by the feet. The clear plastic shattered. It was with a small onion. A great idea, but a bit expensive for chopping only 2 onions.

Useful, but needs a little TLC
By Diana Major Spencer
When my original Progressive International Onion Chopper broke, I replaced it with another Progressive for several reasons: First, I prefer the chopping container to the more expensive Alligator's (I've had one; it also broke) upward chop, which scatters the chopped food all over the countertop. Second, until someone decides to use stainless steel or industrial grade plastic for the "ears" on the chopper, breakage will continue to be an issue with any chopper. However, care in choosing the vegetables to chop and sizing the chunks so as not to exceed the size of the grid will prolong its life considerably. Trying to bully it into chopping too big or too hard things will obviously break it.

Third, my choice to replace my original Progressive with another of the same brand was largely determined by the price of competing choppers. Amazon's price plus shipping costs totaled much less than price alone for other brands. Also, the Progressive offers a replacement guarantee. Those reviewers who are so aggressive about their dislike for this product are probably also aggressive in their chopping behavior. Lighten up! The world will treat you more gently as you do.

Onion Chopper Review
By Christine C. Belknap
Good thought, but when you put an onion on the metal crossblades and try to push down on the top handle thing it is really hard to do and the cutting mechinism doesn't work well. It seems to be sharp but does not cut the onion easily.I purchased this chopper for my mom who is 70 and she could not chop an onion with it. My kitchen aid chopper does a much better job as does my black and decker electric chopper and they are dishwasher safe also. I would not recommend it at all. There are other choices out there for good deals.
