Kuhn Rikon Pull Chop Chopper/Manual Food Processor with Cord Mechanism, Green, 2-Cup

I saw a late-night TV ad for a similar pull chop gizmo and decided to see what Amazon customers had to say about it. Then I saw this Kuhn Rikon model, read the rave reviews, and figured a Swiss company might have the "edge" when it came to sharp-bladed choppers. No joke! Compared to the Progressive slap chopper I had before, the blades of this pull chopper are razor-sharp. So sharp, in fact, that the company includes a plastic sleeve to cover the blades when not in use. And as another reviewer pointed out, the blades here only come in contact with the food, not the surface of a cutting board, so the blades should keep their sharp edge longer than those used by slap choppers. And while I used to have to slap and slap the plunger on the Progressive chopper to chop the food fine enough, three pulls or less on this whiz-bang device does the job lickety-split. In fact, I almost think this chopper works TOO well. I used it last night to chop onions, peppers, and celery for a spaghetti sauce, and it reduced the veggies to such fine pieces so quickly, I'm glad I didn't follow the instructions, which said five or more pulls on the string would be necessary. The device is also very easy to use -- just cut the pieces of food to fit inside the chopper, give a few pulls, and you're done. It's simple to clean as well. There really are only two parts to clean, the clear plastic cutting container and the blade assembly. The manufacturer tells you not to immerse the top assembly, so I just wiped the inside bottom of that piece with a damp sponge and dried it with a dish towel. What can I say? The Swiss Pull Chop makes quick work of food prep, and it's compact and easy to use. A winner in every way... PROS: * Works much faster than comparable slap choppers. * Easy to clean. * Components, including blades, appear to be high-quality. * Compact, easy to store. * Reasonably priced. CONS: * None that I can think of at the moment.

I love this thing for small chopping jobs.. when you don’t want to drag out that processor!. I was skeptical at first . I have lots of nice sharp knives , why do I need it? I’m a little OCD so if not every piece gets chopped the same size, well it isn’t going to work. This is good quality and well worth the money. High quality simple parts, sharp blades . Nice even chop for garlic , ginger, shallots , onions. It’s brilliant . All in one mirepoix … even chops stringy celery into nice even bits. Easy to clean and store though I rinse it clean and do not put in dishwasher because the lid has weep holes that collect water . Really such a useful, well engineered tool.

This is an awesome product, I first saw it on a cooking show and ordered one. It’s so easy to dice onions garlic celery anything you want to with just three or four pulls on the cord and it’s all done. It’s very easy to clean.

I've been so impressed with this manual pull chopper. When I ordered it, I wondered whether this was going to be a piece of junk. Quite the opposite--this chopper is so useful. It cuts pretty much any vegetable one puts in it. You control how fine it is chopped by how many pulls you give on the pull bar. For most veggies, five pulls cuts the veggies pretty fine. Two or three pulls cuts the veggies to a medium size. This device is not a slicer but a chopper as it says. It does a wonderful job at chopping veggies into smaller pieces. You need to do a little work to cut the veggies into pieces that will fit into the chopper. After that, just pull on the pull bar and in a matter of seconds, you chop the veggies to the size you want. Really great device that is easy to clean. Be careful because the blades are very sharp. I've had the chopper for 6 months. I've had no problems and it is as good as the day it was first delivered.

This works really well. I knew it was sharp before I used it because when removing the plastic guard I cut my finger and my thumb. 👍 first thing I did was I put some more baby carrots in there and they cut them up really nice great for my salad.

Excellent, super sharp blades and easy to use and clean. Very expensive however, to be seen whether it is worth the price

this is astonishing! It is amazing how easy it is to use. Perfect for aching hands because you don't have to bash it to work it. And just 2 pulls on the easy to grasp cord gives you finely chopped onions, garlic, carrots and such. I have bought 3 for gifts that have been welcomed. and no aching hands!! Takes up very little space as it is simple compact item. Do yourself a favor if you love to cook,try it!

This item is fantastic! It saves sooo much time. It's easy to use and clean! Fabulous pull chop chopper!!! I bought one for each of my family members last Christmas!

This thing is amazing! I can't believe i never had this in my kitchen, it's a must have!! The product is very sturdy and good quality. It also has a non slip bottom and it works very well. It's extremely easy to use and only a few pulls go a long way. The more you pull the smaller the pieces are cut. For better results, try not to over stuff the container. I can't say enough good this about this item, it just works really well. I feel like buying a bunch of these and giving them out as gifts, that's how great it is!

I have only used this so far, on dicing onions, which was excellent, and a few fresh basil leaves. As there were very few basil leaves to chop, I did not expect too much, but was pleasantly surprised that it did a really good job, considering the very few leaves the chopper had to work with, and being so light in weight. I do recommend this brand, and I am glad that I also bought the bigger size.

Small, yet very effective

Very happy that I found this. I bought it in 2022 and it’s still in very good condition. The blades are still sharp although they were extremely sharp when I bought it. It’s better now as it’s easy to clean now without the fear of cutting my finger :) Highly recommend this amongst other choppers.

This is an excellent unit. it does chopping with ease. However, don't put in hard vegetables whole, cut them into smaller pieces first. Will have years of service. Great product.
