Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper
Customer Review: Best Manual Chopper You Can Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper that I've purchased. I have one back home--bought three years ago--and I needed another for my Florida residence. The handle is easy to use, and the unit is very easy to clean. It does a good job even with almonds, which are very hard, along with the pecans and walnuts. My husband and I are very health conscious, and we include nuts in our daily diet--both at breakfast time (on our cereal) and also in the evening, mixed in with our salad. Electric choppers tend to pulverize nuts, making them akin to breadcrumbs, so all nut eaters need a hand chopper, as well; this one is the best.Customer Review: It worked for a while

I bought this thing out of a catalog from my daughters school, around Christmas time. I was thrilled when I received it as I make Red Velvet Cakes as extra income. To say the least, one of the teeth or grinders actually broke off into the cake batter and baked in the cake. When the cake was served, one of my customers bit on the medal piece. She brought it to me furious. I compared it to the nut chopper and saw that one of the teeth were actually broke. Now, the customer has filed a lawsuit against me, and I am in turn, filing a lawsuit against the manufacturer. So say the least, business has not been the same.Customer Review: Opinion of a 95-year-old Baker

My Mom has been using a much earlier version of this chopper for years; needless to say,it got a bit worn out. So, for her 95th birthday, I ordered one of these, among other gifts that were a bit more glamorous. Well, you would think I had given her a gold-plated luxury automobile to hear her talk about her "favorite" birthday present! She bakes the most wonderful carrot cakes with cream cheese/nut frosting, so chopping nuts is part of her preparation for family gatherings. She is delighted with the chopper, and the rest of us are benefitting! Great product; my sister-in-law has asked me to order one for her!Customer Review: Pretty good
Summary: 3 Stars
This nut chopper does, indeed, chop nuts, and quickly and easily. I would have liked to find that the nut pieces were fairly uniform in size. In fact it yields a range of sizes, with say 20% in a fine powder and 80% in nice-sized chunks. I tried sharpening the tangs, but the result is the same. So satisfactory, but not as good (and not as time-consuming) as taking each nut and cutting it with a sharp knife.
Given the price, it is a very good deal. One can always filter the result to take only the larger pieces for a demanding recipe or garnish (and use the dust somewhere else).
Customer Review: Almost there

I bought this chopper a couple years ago and so far have not had any trouble with the teeth bending or breaking off, even when using frozen nuts. From the photo provided here on Amazon, it looks as if they've changed the design of the lid. I hope that is so, because the two lids I have (one for each side) are incredibly cheap plastic. A really bad fid onto the unit and one lid completely tore so it couldn't be used anymore. the other side is nearly as bad. It's only kept in place to keep the nuts from falling through the bottom. With a better lid, I would rate this 4 or 5 stars.
