Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased two of these to give as gifts this past holiday season. One of which went to my husband, my in-house chef, who seems to be constantly chopping celery or onions for various dishes. I'd seen the ads on TV for it and loved the simplicity of the device. I have an electric chopper, but thought the Slap Chop looked a bit more compact and would travel well for camping trips.
Out of the box I noticed that the plastic used in the device is fairly flimsy. The blades too are very thin. The entire product does not seem to be designed with durability in mind, and if used gingerly, it would probably stand up to a year or two of weekly, light use at most.
To test the product I tried a hard boiled egg first. The egg got stuck in the blades and really didn't get chopped as much as 'mushed'.
The next test was an onion. You have to start with a fairly small piece and yes, 'slap' the top which propels the chopping blades down in a plunger-type action to the cutting board below. It cut the onions, I then twisted the device to get another angle on the onions and did it again. The Slap Chop worked OK for onions.
Tomatoes were next. Starting with a quarter of a tomato, the Slap Chop did its thing. The harder and faster I slapped the blades down, the better the cut. Still, it seemed like a knife would work just as well and be just as fast considering set-up and clean-up times too.
Clean-up was easy, which is perhaps the Slap Chop's best feature. Not much more difficult than running your knife under the water.
The bottom line: a flimsy kitchen tool that won't replace a good knife. Not the amazing time-saving device I'd hoped for and not something I would recommend to my friends. It could be something for the picnic basket, camping or hiking gear kitchen, but durability is likely to be an issue.

The slap chop is your all purpose chopper for all your chopping needs.Food processors are too bulky, and most kitchen slicer choppers have too many parts and can become dangerous.With slap chop the more you slap it the finer it gets.We also include the amazing Graty.The Graty is an awesome device for grating all kinds of cheeses.It's lightweight, sturdy and designed to last for years.Easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
