Progressive International Onion Chopper Dices In One Swift Motion
December 5th, 2016
The Progressive International Onion Chopper is designed to take the work out of dicing onions. With this handy gadget, all you have to do is place an onion half on the chopper and press down the lid. The stainless steel blade quickly dices the onions without all the mess and tearful odors. There won’t be any guessing as to how much onion you’ve chopped either, as the clear container has printed measurements. To keep the device secure, four round feet steady the onion chopper and the device comes apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. A similar product is the Vidalia Chop Wizard, which features dicing blades and a clear container that catches the onion.
At double the cost, many consumers have put their trust in the Progressive International brand, as it has a similar design and a stainless steel blade. However, some product owners find that the Vidalia brand is better at chopping a variety of foods, including veggies, fruits and cheeses. With the strikingly similar designs, both products have received mixed reviews about their durability. The manual onion chopper has received a large number of positive reviews, as product owners stressed that this was the single most important gadget they used in the kitchen. And, product owners suggested helpful tips for using the gadget, such as tapping the device instead of just pressing down. Yet even with all the positive reviews, there were quite a few negative complaints that centered on the durability of the onion chopper. Many consumers found that the green onion slicer broke quickly and couldn’t stand extreme pressure. Although there are some mixed reviews, the majority of people have found that there’s no better way to dice onions than with this affordable, compact onion slicer.
