Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Choppers
I am trying to cut down on the French fries that we made years ago with the older Veg-o-Matic. I have 7 pecan trees and make all sorts of goodies using pecans. I keep looking for a way to chop pecans into uniform chunks. The food processors I have do a decent job, but the variation in size is unacceptable. Commercial nut choppers are too expensive for me. I bought this Veg-o-Matic as an experiment to see if it would work, off label, as a nut chopper. So far it is my tool of choice for making small chunks. I use the dicing blades and chop about an ounce at a time. I do have to tape down the blades, since the pusher, as it retracts, tries to remove them from the base. Since it takes some time to clean the pusher, I chop a pound or two at a time and keep the chopped nuts in the freezer. Works well for me. Read full review

I tried to dice a fresh onion from the garden. Quartered it and still couldn't push it thru the blade. Ended up cutting it up with a knife. Not very good. Seems like it is made out of cheap plastic. No where near as rugged as the original ones. Hope it will at least slice my beets after then are cooked. I don't really hold out much hope for slicing apples. Oh well, guess I was hoping it was like the old ones were.

I had an original Veg-O-Matic years ago. It had only two blades, for thick or thin slices or French fries. It was perfect for making pickles, which is why I bought this new one. It DOES NOT HAVE STRAIGHT BLADES! I called Ronco and they said the old blades are no longer available. So I wasted my money on this one.

Blades are deeper, stiffer and set in plastic rings. Where the old model had thin ribbon blades or wires strung on zinc (or aluminum) rings. It cut the potatoes with ease. Great for slicing large quantities as you can set it in a large pan and just keep slicing.

I went on a hunt for this food chopper after remembering the one my mom used to have. I read reviews and saw where some said the blades were not metal - these were. The first potato I sliced was like a trip down memory lane (smile). I set the potatoe upright, pushed on the top down swiftly and viola! I had french fries! It is exactly as I remembered it to be and I have used it several times since it arrived. It does everything I need and then some!
