i really liked this thing for chopping up my chillie peppers the metal shaft that is aluminum broke needs a stainless shaft so it doesn’t break where the shaft screws into blades this could be very much improved good idea.

This thing is a giant piece of crap. The commercial is hilarious and makes it look great…reality is another thing altogether.

I HATE this thing!! It DOES NOT work like they say it does. I still have to chop my garlic and onions with a knife, like I did before. I do like the grater. Does anyone know of somewhere I can buy just the grater, without having to buy another one of these stupid, worthless Slap Chops?

A hazard to your Life! In my first use to chop up 2 small onions, the Splash Guard split into several small pieces which were the same color as the onions. We didn’t suspect anything was amiss until we started eating the potato salad we had prepared. When I almost choked on a small piece of the plastic, we then started looking further and found that part of the Guard had shattered. Largest piece we found was about 1/8″x 3/4″ and smallest was about 1/16″x1/8″. Several pieces were not found!!!
I have filed a complaint with the Company,the BBB of CT and my VISA card company.So far all I have heard is Slap Chop wants their product returned at my expense.
Although, they charged me $25 shipping, FedEx will only charge me $15 to ship it back.
The product did a fairly good job of chopping,but I prefer my onions without plastic. The company obviosly does not stand behind their product.

Piece of junk! Got it at Home Outfitters for $9.99 (half price). Still way overpriced. Used it once for chopping chocolate pieces and still had to chop most by hand. Then tried to clean it- the blades very difficult to clean. Tried to put it back together but wouldn’t fit with the splash guard. Grrr… So found the bill since I’m not keeping this garbage only to find out it was final sale! Go figure!

I have had a Pampered Chef chopper for years (at least 5) and it finally broke. Loved it for cole slaw etc. This Slap Chop was more expensive at CTC and cheaper made. The plastice insert is very difficult to place and has the added featurte of coming loose as well as the ability to be broken easily. Wish they wouldf spend a little more time on tht item. Otherwise the idea, though not original, is great and does save time.

I received a Slap Chop for Xmas this year. So far, I am unimpressed.

The Good:
- It comes apart easily for cleaning.

The Bad:
- It is very flimsy plastic.
- It only chops a small amount at a time.
- It gets stuck in the down position and sometimes takes some coercing to get it to start chopping again.
- Food gets stuck in the blades… more food than actually gets chopped.
- The blades do not turn so it just keeps chopping in the same spot over and over.
- It didn’t so much chop the veggies as pulverize them to mush, and what wasn’t mush, was still in big chunks, and/or stuck in the blades.
- While it came apart easy, putting it back together was a little frustrating as the parts didn’t fit back together well or easily.

The Ugly:
- The knob on the top that you are supposed to “Slap” popped-off at one point and I very nearly impaled my hand on the metal shaft.

All in all, a waste of money. I can chop faster and better with a good sharp knife or my beloved Ulu.

worth the price, but don’t expect a miracle tool that makes breakfast for you.

I liek slap chop. I liek vincs nuts. Slap chop makes slapping nutz e-z. I haet when you slap nuts and they just bounce away – this is gud for slapping nutz a lot, they staye in the nut cup.
