First - it's not new - just another style of an old but not so good item

Over the years and just last year - bought the 'latest and greatest'.  Parts would not fit together = trash can

Other ones:   slamming veggies down chopper hole = not as easy as the Chef makes it - they must par-boil their demo foods. Raw takes a hard SLAM.

If you're impressed with this glass version - suggest you sleep on it.

So you’ve already had this one?  And why throw it away?  Past the 30 days?

 I‘ve had more than one slam chopper. They have worked as advertised. I’d expect this newer version to do the same. 

[fthunt]

Yes, way past 30 days.   Read reviews - too late - and others couldn't get the parts to line up so screws could be inserted.   Obviously Tony's doesn't have screws; but I bought a bigger - thought stronger - unit.

Glad you've had good luck.

Don't know why posters always question why item went to the trash bin.  Reason:  past the 30 day policy.

So, why did you order this 'another style of an old but not so good item'? 

And if the thing did not work, why didn't you send it back?

As a contrasting point of view, I own the original large version of the chopping bowl with inserts as well as the popular smaller rectangular version that debuted a couple years ago, and they have worked perfectly for me since I purchased them. They get regular workouts in my kitchen, especially at this time of year with all the salad and fruit/veggie prep. I've also given a couple of the rectangular ones as gifts to family members, and they also love them and highly recommend them.

I have to say 

I’ve been disappointed in most chopper gizmos the I’ve purchased. The one exception is the Kuhn Rikon Pull Chopper, that one is a winner.

The worst thing I’ve found about any of these choppers is storing all the pieces.  It’s a shame they didn’t say anything about storage with this one. Even if all the “blades” fit inside, that storage lid will have to go somewhere else.

@esmerelda - In case it's helpful, with my versions where the blades all fit inside, I just attach the storage lid and close the tabs to keep everything secure, and then the chopper lid sits right on top of that and doesn't take up much extra space.

That's good to know.   I ordered one of those pull and chop machines when it was on the air several months ago, but have not used it yet...

I also love the pull-and-chop; it does far more than I ever thought it could. Kuhn Rikon has some really great products!
