Brieftons Express Vegetable Chopper: 1.6-Litre, Manual Hand Operated Tool to Chop/Mix Veggies, Fruits, Garlic, Onion Chopper for Salsa, Salad, Pesto, Coleslaw, Puree, Indian Cooking

A simple, well constructed device that does the job perfectly and is easy to clean. I empty in half a bag of crispy salad and after a few presses I have an evenly chopped salad base, ready to stir in whatever I fancy for an easy-to-eat healthy meal.

The chopper arrived fairly quickly and safely in the post in a good strong box. I bought this item a few months ago and it was a while before I used it. It was an unexpected nice surprise when I first did use this nifty machine, So from a visual and practical view point, it is bigger than you think but is compact enough to store away easily. It seems well made and it is easy to clean. It has two simple blades options which are all it needs. It took a few goes to get the hang of the downward pressure to needed to use, once you do, its easy peasy !!. Onions and celery were no trouble, the harder vegetables like carrots need to chopped smaller but it chops stuff in seconds. I would imagine kids may find this fun to use helping out (with supervision). It does chop veg pretty small. The surprising thing is the bowl capacity, it is large so doesn’t get filled too quickly. I’ve used this a few times as it saves getting the electric one of the cupboard. All in all a safe product for all to use and easily washed. So a useful item to own. Thanks

Does a great job and saves me a lot of time when preparing my birds veggies, you just have to make sure you don’t put in too big chunks as the blade gets stuck especially on Brussels sprouts. Turned what took an hour job into 10 minutes, I’d recommend this product.

Easy to use . Save my time chopping a lot of garlic and ginger

I bought this to chop onions (as I have a really bad allergy response to them) and I wanted to chop onions really finely. It was easy to put together and I first used it this evening; it was brilliant. No more sore and painful eyes and the onions were chopped really finely with only 3 plunges of the chopping blades. The blades are really sharp so care is needed with handling, but a protective cover for them is included which, if used properly, doesn't cause a problem, and they are very effective. I'm very pleased with this reasonably priced kitchen accessory and it's a relief not to suffer any more!

Good not excellent product

Bought this last December. I wanted it badly because I wanted to chop a lot of onions without tears. It was easy to assemble but can be tricky to use at first. With trial and error, I found it will be easy if you cut the veggies (onions in this case) into quarters and place 2 or 3 pieces on one side of the blade. Bear in mind it should be placed between the gap of two blades not on top or bottom of either. If you cram it up (like what I did the first time cos I was excited) the blade will be stuck to the veggies. Once you are able to dice through a few (after two or three push), then you can add a bit more. Teeny problem with this is that the first batch will be miniscule in size so better to have 2 or 3 batch then remove and then start anew if need more. Washing is easy as I soak it with soapy water after use and clean it properly later. Blade doesn't look that sturdy so I don't know if it will last long but at the moment I am happy with it.

This item has been sitting on the shelf for a few weeks waiting for a suitable chore to come along. My daughter is under the weather, and all she fancied eating was Angel Delight. So, I decided to see how quickly the Express Food Chopper mixing paddle would whip it up - the answer is extremely quickly, with very little effort, and no mess. Washing up the pieces after took no time at all either. All the parts are of very high quality, and based on other Briefton items we own, will easily stand the test of time. It will be interesting to see how well the driver handle that spins the paddle (or blade) lasts, but it certainly looks and feels substantial, and I have no reason to suspect that it will break after just a few uses. One warning note - the blade mentioned above is of extremely high quality, and consists of 3 angled blades set at different heights on a central spindle. These blades are EXTREMELY SHARP so please handle with care - you have been warned. I tried chopping an apple and a potato before washing up after making the Angel Delight, and it made very short work of them. All in all, a very good item - well done Brieftons.

I read all the reviews for similar items and purchased this item. I am so happy that I did, it is perfect. It even chops a few garlic pieces into very small bits...now that is really telling you something! Chops anything you put into it perfectly and cleans in a flash. Thx, I love it.

A little expensive but good performance overall

The Brieftons Express Manual Food Chopper is wonderfully simple and incredibly effective. The push‑down mechanism is smooth and powerful, turning veggies, nuts, and herbs into perfect pieces in just a few presses. It’s quiet, sturdy, easy to clean, and surprisingly fast. If you want a no‑fuss chopper that actually delivers, this one’s a standout.

i impulse bought the smaller version. worked great, but had to chop ingredients (for guacamole) one at a time. so it was so easy, but this larger version - bigger but not huge - sounded like a better fit. and yeah it's awesome. for a bowl of guac just chop up the ingredients into chunks, all of them in the bowl with seasonings. a few quick pumps and voila. i add a little lime juice after and pump a few more times to blend in. perfect, easy. washup - can put everything but the pump in the dishwasher, but it's so easy to just do a quick rinse i just hand wash. there's a mixer attachment too, tho i just use a spoon. and the pump handle snaps down to save a little space (doesn't go all the way into the bowl, but cuts down the height by about 1/3. i'm making guac a lot more often now already, it's just so much easier. be great for salsas and dips too.

I have had a Cuisinart for many years, and it is a hassle to get it out put the blades of choice. It is very heavy! I just purchase the Brieftons 10-Blade Vegetable Spiralizer which I love all the different blades. I was on the Brieftons site and I was looking at a recipe and it suggested using the Brieftons Express Manual Food Chopper, well the spiralizer is great so I purchased the food chopper. I just got it yesterday and I am very excited about using it. I will get back to you all when I have used it. But it looks so easy to use!
