Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Proctor Silex 72500RY 1-1/2-Cup Food Chopper
Customer Review: Great tool.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great chopper. It is small, so don't expect it to handle large tasks, but because it's small I use it a lot -- not much cleanup, and it's not difficult to pull out of the cabinet. I use it for onions (you have to cut them in half first), because chopping onions by hand is a pain. I've also made delicious pesto in it; just put the basil, olive oil, nuts, garlic, and a hunk of parmesan in it and twist the top to make it go. The blade is sharp (I cut myself while washing it once) so be careful. Fortunately, it doesn't start unless the top is on and twisted into the closed position, so you don't have to worry about chopping fingers by accident.Customer Review: Does what it is supposed to but a bit annoying
Summary: 4 Stars
It does what it's supposed to as far as chop small quantities of vegies, like an onion, etc. That is why I got it. It comes apart easy for cleaning too. The only thing that annoys me is the way you have to set it up and start it. First you have to make sure the bowl is situated properly (there is a tab on the bowl that has to fit into the correct spot on the base), then the top has to be on correctly to slide into the groove and then you have to hold it to do the actual work (oy). I don't mind having to hold it but the other set-up steps can be a bit cumbersome. It is merely annoying but not enough to actually hate it.Customer Review: Truth In Advertising
Summary: 4 Stars
Those who purchase the PROCTOR SILEX FOOD CHOPPER expect to get a chopper that can do the following: easily chop a variety of food, be space conscious, be easy to clean, be reliable/sturdy, and be reasonably priced. This chopper does all the above. I do have a caveat though. The advertising suggests that the prospective owner intend that he/she use it with only that single person in mind. If you have a family of more than two, you may find that you are spending tedious time chopping lots of food. Thus, the advertising is correct and truthful. Just be sure that you fit the bill.Customer Review: Very Unsatisfied-waste of time and money
Summary: 1 Stars
I put a single star for this item because no 'Zero' star option is available in the review form. Please never buy this item. It is wastage of money and time. I bought a lot of items from Amazon, everything else was good but this is garbage. The motor turns only if the jar is empty or water in it. This is not even capable of chopping some spinach leaves. I am positive because I tried it. I bought this item by seeing the multi-star reviews and awesome comments. Please do not get cheated by that. Normally I never write reviews but this product made me to write this review.Customer Review: VERY SATISFIED - GOOD FOR SMALL JOBS
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a nice little gadget. It's great for chopping or grinding small amounts (3/4 of a cup) of almost anything. I've used it to cut up olives, cooked beets, herbs and onions. I've even used it to grind boiled chicken for my cat when she was ill. You do, however, have to cut things into small pieces before placing them into the chopper.
You can't use it to chop anything hard such as nuts or coffee beans, as they will cause the cup to crack.
In a nut shell - it's fast and easy to use, it does a good job, it cleans up easily and it's inexpensive.
