Compact Mini Dicer - Perfect for Quickly Cubing and Dicing Vegetables, Vegetable Chopper and Cutter with Manual Hand Chopper for Onions and Small Veggies

This chopper is great, so easy to use, easy to clean and just the right size to keep on the counter. We've used it every day since purchasing a week ago, chops onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, any fruit or vegetable with ease. Highly recommended!

I love this simple gadget for dicing onions. It's very sharp and well made. Exactly what I need without all the unnecessary bells and whistles. And it's compact and doesn't take up much room. I will use this often!

I had a Pampered Chef food chopper for nearly twenty years that was easy to use, easy to clean and I couldn't believe it lasted that long. But when it finally started falling apart, it was time to get a new one. This chopper is made of more metal parts and appears to be very sturdy. I am hopeful that it won't crack in the same places that the PC plastic one did. This chopper does come apart into a few more parts than I'm used to, but it is all dishwasher safe, and is still easy to disassemble and to assemble. I have used it twice already and been very pleased with it.

I had a cheaper version from walmart. This product was so much better. It feels like it is of better construction. The design is better; for example, the food doesn't get caught up between the blades egregiously like it was on the prior version I had. It also cuts so much better. It seems to cut through everything effortlessly (including garlic cloves).

I like things that make my life easier and spend hard earned money on quality things that enrich our daily life's. This little Kitchen gadget is one among them. It really makes my life a bit easier in the Kitchen . I have tested this on multiple items and here is my honest feedback. Anything soft it stumbles a bit , like tomatoes, cilantro and green onion ( it crushes them instead of chopping them) . Its not the choppers fault as even my well sharpened knife did that on very ripe/soft tomatoes. Anyways a well crushed tomato is not that bad as its perfect for Salsa or Pasta sauce or even curry sauce.Now the good stuff. Its excellent in cutting nuts ( peanuts, pecans , almonds and walnuts ), regular and sweet potatoes, all types of onion ( red, white and yellow ), amazing with carrots, celery , mushrooms , broccoli, cabbage ,cucumber, jalapenos , serrano's and even crushes ice easily( though not a good thing to do often ). I also tested it on apples and it was good. But the thing I really like about, is its cutting skills even on very small stuff like a clove or two of garlic ( most processors don't do this) and even a miniscule piece of ginger for my tea in the evening. Many folks think that this chopper has very small cup size ( 1 cup ) , but don't let that fool you. You can directly chop this on a wooden or plastic cutting board without the bottom cover and seriously not have any limitation on size. I was able to mince and chop 5 large onions for a party in 3-4 minutes right on my cutting board. Finally the cleaning part. This is where it excels most others on the market. The whole thing comes off for easy cleaning and reassembly . Please see Di Reggale's youtube video for assembly instructions. Its really easy once you get the hang off it and it becomes second nature ...Saving the best part for the last is the customer service. When was the last time you saw a company standing behind its products for Life ?Nancy has been a source of terrific support in answering any questions on the product and really walks that extra mile to support her customers. This type of customer service is really rare these days and happy to support folks like them.Buy this product, use it with care as it was designed to be and I bet you can get years worth of service from this little gadget .

Works great chopping and dicing food items. Much easier and faster than a knife.

I bought this compact mini dicer specifically because I did not want to use or to store a large bulky device.1. I am especially impressed with the cutting blades. They are so thin, I thought they would not be strong enough and that they'd bend and break. But the blades are powerful enough for the cutting I do - even raw potatoes. I have also diced, onions, tomatoes, and pitted olives with this dicer.2. Once the device is assembled, the pusher and the blades line up perfectly. Push hard enough and a batch is diced. (Very nice) I did buy another dicer (also being returned) and the pusher and blade are aligned prior to each push by trial and error. It can take many attempts before you have a diced result. I mention this because importantly, the Vivaant Compact Mini Dicer has been successful in pusher to blade alignment. The device stays aligned until you disassemble.I am disappointed in a few things and believe they can be improved. I would try this product again if these improvements are made.!. The device is not easy to clean. Neither the blades nor the pusher can be cleaned by rinsing alone (as stated on the website) or using the cleaning brush provided. Cleaning the pusher is the hardest, most time-consuming, and most tedious. The spaces are arranged (reasonably) in 9 columns and 9 rows. To clean all the debris, I have to push a slim blade (I have not yet found a brush that works well) up and down between each of the 9 columns and then back and forth across each of the 9 rows. I usually have to do all of that multiple times to purge all the debris. It takes far too long to push debris out of the pusher. The pusher is not removable, so you can not push debris through it to the other side.2. The container needs to be taken apart to clean. This is also a nuisance. Assembling and disassembling the device is not intuitive and requires too much attention. The top has to be aligned at a specific angle before pushing onto the base or removing from the base. There is no visible mark to id this angle when removing the top. I get it wrong far more than I get it right.3. The device comes with 2 dicers of 2 sizes. (Nice) The spare dicer is stored in the top. (Nice). I can not easily pull it out. And it's even harder to reinstall it. It only fits one way, but since the blade device looks almost the same from the top or the bottom, from back or front and from side to side. (perhaps a future version can simply include alignment markings on the parts needing to be aligned.) It's not always obvious and thus takes too long.4. I really like the idea of a small 3x3" blade. Unfortunately, inside the frame, the blade size is (about 2/3/4" and is not large enough to accommodate many of the vegetables (eg. medium onions about 3 3/8 diameter") I routinely want to dice. Therefore, I must trim too many pieces to fit with a knife before placing in the blade area. I'd probably prefer a 4x4" effective blade cutting area.5. The front of the container is open, perhaps to make it easier to empty the container between veggies or if it gets full. (Nice) Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that when cutting a juicy item, like tomatoes, if you don't cover the opening you, your counters, and maybe your floors, will get sprayed with the juice. While dicing one onion, I found out, that the container is not large enough for a whole medium sized onion. I was almost done with the onion, it looked like there was more room in the container, then BAM - the newly diced pieces jettisoned a bunch of previously diced pieces from the container, hit me and landed on the countertop and the floor. The assembled device is a bit large and awkwardly shaped for my small hands and I really don't want to stop and empty it for part of a medium onion.I like the uniform dices created by this dicer to using a food processor/blender. But I'm returning this one, because using it irritates me.

I love how easy this is to use and clean. It has a shorter stroke from a different appliance I used to have, but it works fabulously to mince crying onions.
