• "Overall, the item was fairly easy to use."
• "Bought this because I have one functional hand."
• "It worked good for onlons but I had to partially cook the carrots and celery."

Cons:

• "Cleaning the black ridges out was IMPOSSIBLE, even with a brush."
• "The alignment of the blades keep moving for the first use, because of that the plastic got cut and fell into the vegetables."
• "The area for food to be chopped is very small."
• "The second slice of onion then BENDS one of the rows of blades, so now that tool is completely useless."

• "This wouldn't cut a 1/4 onion unless you put all your weight."

Safety and Cleaning
