Our Review Factors
We rated this kitchen tool based on its design and performance.
Would it fit both traditional and modern kitchen spaces? How was the overall operation?
1. Design
How is this kitchen tool designed? Is it handy, portable? Does the handle have a comfortable grip? Is this electric chopper easy to move or is it too bulky? Is assembling and dismantling easy?

Finally, we gauged the design in terms of the cleaning process.
2. Performance
How efficiently does this tool perform with a variety of ingredients? Does the motor generate too much noise or was it barely noticeable? What about the blades, are they sharp enough to chop through harder veggies? Uniformity of sliced and chopped veggies?
Or is this just meant for smaller, softer ingredients?

How we tested
To give readers a detailed insight of this ‘hammer’ chopper, we chopped several veggies like carrots, chillies, coriander, ginger, spring onions, among others to test the performance and efficiency.
Our Experience
Charging
Before beginning the review process, we let the electric chopper charge for a little over 30 minutes. There is no indication that denotes ‘charging’, ‘fully charged’, or ‘low battery’. Before we could finish chopping two of the ingredients, the battery ran out and we had to pause the review, recharge the chopper.
In regards to the design and construction, this gets a thumbs up. It is a sturdy chopper with a fairly comfortable grip. Even the space from the button to the handle has been well thought of. The charger port has a flap rubber cover to enhance safety.
As mentioned above, we tested ingredients like carrots, ginger, and coriander. Due to the massive amount of positive experiences with green chillies and spring onion online, we added these two to the list as well.
With carrots, we had a mixed experience. These worked well in the slicer but there were quite some large pieces that seemed to get stuck between blades. As for the chopper attachment, this was a big thumbs down.
Coriander was a no-show with the slicer attachment. But when it came to the chopper attachment, it took approximately 30 seconds for a fine chop that could be used as a garnish on curries.
We had a completely opposite experience with ginger. Here, the chopper attachment was a flop. In the slicer attachment, we got some thin slices but the pieces were flying out of jar. To fix this, we tried using the plastic insert which slowed down the motion of the slicer, thus bringing down the overall convenience.
Next, we had green chillies. We tested these with the slicer attachment. There were some longer, diagonal cuts, and other smaller chops. This was relatively better than other ingredients, but still not uniform.
Our experience with spring onions was BLEAK. Sure, the stem and the bulb were chopped but it was uneven, rough, and not really ideal for usage. When using it for the slicer attachment, there was only the juice of onions and stems getting collected in the jar below.
Cleaning the device was almost effortless. We’d advice to ALWAYS let the parts dry before storing them.
To sum it up, the blades are sharp but when it comes to movement, they don’t run fast enough. Medium to large-sized pieces of the veggies were constantly getting stuck between blades. And whatever the end result was, was not uniform.
The whole point of this chopper being convenient and helping reduce time and effort was invalidated.

1. Is this vegetable cutter dishwasher safe?
The jars may be dishwasher-safe, but the blades and handheld tool must be washed manually.
2. Is this vegetable chopper portable?
Yes, it is quite lightweight and easily movable.
3. Can this vegetable cutter grind onion and garlic?
During our testing, harder vegetables worked better in a slicer than a chopper (like carrots). The chopping mechanism does not produce uniform results.
4. Is this vegetable cutter durable?
It has a rechargeable battery, and the overall construction seems sturdy. Durability can only be tested over time.
5. Is this vegetable cutter value for money?
Not really. Our experience does not let us believe that this was worth a buy.
Final Words
However, there were a lot of aspects that didn’t work- like the movement and speed of blades, the versatility, the battery life, etc.
How this became an internet sensation, is a question we seek answers for. We do not recommend this, but would you be intrigued to try?
