Tefal5 Second Chopper Manual Chopper – 900ml, Black & Green, K1320404

Purchased the Tefal Easy Pull over alternatives due to the reviews and Im not disappointed. The 900ml size is great for larger portions but easy enough to store. Small rubber feet to prevent slipping but you do need to hold it down firmly to counter the force of the pull cord. The key is to pull firmly and quickly, being careful about it doesn't chop the food. The lid twists on to lock in place and the blades are very sharp.If like me you have kids which can be a little fussy if they see a courgette or mushroom on the plate this chopper is a quick way to finely chop food down to hide say in a pasta sauce, its much quicker than chopping finely with a knife (and I have good knife skills!) It does work better when chopping small for overall even sized pieces. Hard carrots can be blitzed in seconds with a few pulls. Even for large protions simply fill chop empty an fill again. When doing a pasta sauce for speed I used to use a bigger food processor, but never enjoyed the clean up. This makes if much quicker as just rince the blades carefully as super sharp and then rince out the plastic container.Its great if you want a quick salsa, just throw in some cucumber, tomato, onion and herbs etc and in a few seconds you have a nice finely chopped consistency, add some oil and red wine vinegar and you have a healthy side dish to a meal in as little as 3 minutes. Used for a few weeks now with various veg and fruit and its handled all with ease, the electric food processor hasnt been used since, even when making a meal for four its easy enough to empty and refill for larger portions and the time saved cleaning up is a big bonus. With a decent guarantee its been a great purchase.

Makes light work of chopping finely and some food processing, without having to get the electric processor out.I was sceptical after using one of those push down choppers a few years ago, but this style, pull mechanism is much better.We bought this size after using the slightly smaller version for a few months, but both are brilliant. This size is ideal for chopping a few things at once. I usually use it to chop the onion, carrots and celery very finely for sauces. It doesn't have any issue chopping through an onion in 2 or 3 pulls of the handle.It's also ideal for things like salsa and guacamole, and I have even used it for houmous.It comes apart easily for washing, but be careful as the blades are incredibly sharp.My mum sometimes struggles with wrist pain but tried this out and found it very easy to use!Overall, very happy with this.

Great for making salads or dicing large vegetable quantities.Easy to use and wash. Only the lid needs hand washing (everything else in the dishwasher). Veggies need chopping prior to dicing, but this is super quick. And the tool allows you to dice things up so finely - you could almost make a soup using this! Great piece of kit and definitely worth the price.

We've had a few disappointing electric processors over the years; I picked this up to tide us over while comparing more expensive (huge, worktop monstrosity) electric ones. Wanted to give it a bit of use before reviewing and we've actually decided not to bother with a motorised processor. This robust little guy does everything we need and is extremely satisfying to use; there's something about the manual yanking of the rope (via ergonomic handle) that makes all the tension of the day melt away. Have successfully chopped nuts, garlic, herbs, tomatoes, vegetables and onions in it.It is pretty simple to clean; I guess you want to avoid getting water inside the lid/rope mechanism, but that can be avoided by gently wiping rather than dunking the whole thing in the basin. The bottom slicer (plastic one) tends to drop off during cleaning but can be easily re-clipped into place. And, of course, being manual, he even works in the apocalypse.I've rarely had as much enthusiasm about a kitchen item as I have about this little chopping beast; highly recommend.

I love that I don’t have to chop onions and garlic myself anymore and it’s done instead in only a few seconds. The chopped ingredients come out a good size, better than if I had done it with a knife. The only annoying part is to get everything out of the bowl once it’s chopped because the bits get stuck on the ridges and it’s fiddly to get everything out without wasting most of it. It works best with a brush though. That mainly applies to finely chopped garlic and onions.

Great for chopping vegetables

I am so thankful i got this product. Very practical, easy to use, can control the chop speed. Good product

I love this chopper, was looking for a while for something to easily chop onions, tried a couple different ones before trying this and can say it is the best one! Not just for onions but all veg, and I have made salsa and guacamole in it easily. The best part is that it is not electronic so its really easy to quickly set up and use. I had 1 for a year when the string seemed to break so had to purchase a new one, had the 2nd one for nearly a year now and its still going, so not the best durability perhaps but as the price is good I believe it's still worth it
