• "Great product but it's only $11 through Pampered Chef. Not $22.50."

Cons:

• "a little expensive tho."
• "Yes, it's a great product, but as a PC consultant, I find it interesting that this $9.50 item is much more expensive here."
• "Like most Pampered Chef items, it's way over-priced for what it's actually worth."
• "$27?????? Yikes! On the Pampered Chef web site this item is 12 bucks. The meat chopper works great, but one star for being WAY over priced."
• "It does stink that it is so much more expensive here."

Authenticity

Pros:

• "Always love my tried and true Pampered Chef items."
• "Quality is always there with Pampered Chef!"
• "You don’t get better than Pampered Chef."
• "The quality of this pampered chef product will not disappoint."

Cons:

• "Handle hurts my hand because jagged plastic sticks out from seams. I called Pampered Chef to complain, but they DO NOT SELL ON AMAZON."
• "The Pampered Chef has done a terrible thing. This IDEA is a great one- it was invented by a Colorado man and patented. The original is the ChopStir. Pampered Chef stole the idea and with their deep pockets held off the lawsuit to defend the inventor."
• "This is not a Pampered Chef product this is a knock off and all the people that are saying it’s Pampered Chef and Amazon this is poor marketing!"
• "Ordered Pampered Chef expecting to get a Pamper Chef product. What I received was a knock off."
• "This product works as advertised. This is not Pampered Chef quality, own many of Pampered Chef products, this isn’t one of them."
• "You are being ripped off if you buy Pampered Chef product from this seller."
