Does anyone have this if so is it as easy to use as it looks?

I do have this, and it is fairly easy to use.  It does a good chop of chopping things like onions and celery, which is what I mainly used it for when I used it.  There is sometimes a little "drag" when you pull the cord, I don't know how to describe it best.  It's not smooth as silk the way it appears during the TV demonstrations, but it does work well.

Having said that, I have to admit, I never use it, and didn't use it a lot even when I first got it.  I don't have to chop large quantities, so it's just faster and easier for me to chop by hand, I enjoy doing that.  For me, this was just another gadget that wasn't necessary and now takes up space.

It does what it's suppose to do, though, and does it well.

I have one (different brand) I got from HSN last year. I wanted it for chopping onions and celery for turkey dressing. It seemed to work well for that, but that's the only resaon I bought it, so will be using again this Thanksgiving. That's the only meal I cook all year.

It's very easy to use.  I've had mine for a few years, use it at least once a week, and it's fine.  I used it last night to chop some onion, garlic, and jalepeno for tortilla soup.  Sure I could have done it with a knife but this way my hands don't still smell like onion, garlic, and jalepeno.

It does a great job and if you only use it to chop onions it's worth it.

I recently got the Prepology 4-cup press chopper; also for my DD. We both love this thing!  K66599

Yes, it's as easy to use as it looks. I've had it for years and have gifted it to friends who love it. One of those friends, who considers herself to be a foodie, gave it to her adult children and kept a spare for herself. Although I'm still using my original one, I also keep a spare, just in case. In addition to using it for chopping celery and onions, I use it to chop nuts (anything from rough chop to pulverized) and make fresh vinaigrette salad dressing. I like the fact that I can mix the vinaigrette ahead of time, put the lid on it and store it in the fridge until I'm ready to use it. I don't need it all the time but, when I do, I'm really glad I have it. Clean-up's a breeze. Everything but the pull-top can go in the dishwasher. I usually just wipe it with a damp sponge, making sure to keep the string section dry. 

ETA: It's also great for making soft bread crumbs to use in meatballs and meatloaf.

I have the larger one and it works great.  It was a good purchase from the Q

@Imaoldhippie  I'm on my second one, because I wore out (cracked) the first one over the course of several years. I have also given them to friends and family. Love it! I use it every week for mincing  onions and when I have lots of garlic and hot peppers to mince. No tears. I've used it for basil, parsley and nuts as well. The only thing I've found it doesn't work really well on is when I have to grind flax seeds. They really need a spice grinder or blender.

One of my favorite QVC purchases.  Use it all the time for onions.  You can use it on peppers and celery, but not really hard vegetables like carrots.
