First I must say that I have owned a different chopper of this type (Shoof X-chop) and loved how it worked in our kitchen. Unfortunately, that brand doesn't appear to be selling anymore, so I thought I would go with the Brieftons QuickPush Food Chopper. Overall I like its operation and will give a list of pros and cons.
Pros:
1. It contains three different blades for varying chopping sizes; though I particularly like the small size for making salsa and such.
2. It cuts with efficiency and one can cut through a fair amount of fruit/veggies rapidly.
3. It can be taken apart and cleaned fairly easily and fits nicely into the dishwasher.
4. I like the fact that the bottom container has a lid and am wondering if I could buy more of the bottom container without the upper chopper part (for storage).
5. I like that is relatively compact in my cupboard and certainly takes much less space than my Shoof X-chop before.
6. I really like the fact that one can buy replacement blades for fairly cheap (~$10 for a set of three), though I do wish I could either buy the smallest blades set alone or a set of three of just the smallest size, as it sees disproportionately more use in my kitchen. Ultimately, it was the inability to replace the smallest blade size on my Shoof X-chop that put me on the market again.
Cons:
1. I wish the blades were a bit bigger; I could fit more on my Shoof X-chop due to bigger blades.
2. The chopping at an angle is a bit annoying as it limits the amounts one can load. This is one clear advantage of the Shoof X-chop is that it loaded from the top and had a plunger (for lack of a better word) that push down vertically. This is especially useful in making fries from potatoes.
3. As mentioned before, I wish I could buy a 3 pack of their smallest blade size. I would pay $2 more to do so.
Otherwise, great chopper and I am happy with my purchase.
