Get to da choppa!
OXO Good Grips Chopper, White
Handy device for chopping onions, veggies, herbs etc
CamelCamelCamel.
Agreed on the $70 price but it does say all the pieces come apart and can be chucked in the dishwasher.
Reviews say easy cleanup
I already have a food processor, so trying to hold off buying this. I love kitchen gadgets, and this brand.
On Amazon the Australian version (different shape) is $48, still too rich at this price.
I don’t have this but their other products are expensive but seem to last. Happy to pay more if the product lasts, at this price though, it’s great.
Never paid $70 but use mine heaps. Lots of dishes start with a fine diced onion or onions and this (similar model) comes out, does the job in seconds and then just dishwashers.
Also use for mincing bulk garlic, peppers, chopping walnuts and green peppercorns.
Herbs you say? What type?
Have used a slap chop on the herb that you speak of. Works pretty well but better to just have a hand grinder thing.
Kmart Coffee Grinder is the best

Get to the chopper!

Is this as good as the Slap Chop?
Hmm, Looks like a clone of the original.

Thank you.
Welcome.
Definitely would be better to use a food processor. Even for camping just use a manual cord version as it's still easier.
ah the old manual cord camping food processor, of course.
any deals?
Love it
Haha I wish
Kmart offers cheap alternatives and we love them. We've been using them maybe once a week for the last year and can't fault them for the price:
* Quick Chopper, $12
* 2-in-1 Chopper, $7.50
That said, the OXO one looks more of a vertical blade chopper rather than horizontal. Probably a significantly different outcome to these.
Did they increase the price on those? Pretty sure the 2in1 was for $5 o $6
I have the Kmart chopper for about four or five years and it is very good for light duties i.e. the blades can rust easily if not dried after washing immediately and it will not cut large or hard vegetables - the blade will stick. Cutting soft vegetables into smaller pieces helps. The string is starting to fray so it may become a failure point soon.
Generally I find OXO products to be great in quality. I have a peeler from their range that has last several years and the blade is as sharp as new without any rust of faults.
it is very good for light duties
Is the chopper on workers comp?
It was part of CFMEU chopper union
Totally different blade action. I have this style attachment in our hand blender and it tends to mash the ingredients which is what you want.
Kmart rubbish tip quality vs OXO quality, I know which I'm choosing.
Any thoughts on how this compares to something like this OXO Good Grips Vegetable Chopper with Easy-Pour Opening, White https://amzn.asia/d/06dWsuSZ?
That just looks like if you want something diced for specific reasons, the chopper allows you to cut things to a smaller pieces, but you control how small it gets by how many times you chop it.
Who has used one of these and thoughts? We do a fair bit of home cooking, this could be helpful for kids to help safely with the prep.
Originally used to get these for disability support, then my kids and now me.
Think peel and half an onion then let the kids at it. No tears or smelly hands, very little cut risk and dinner is underway.
I am pretty good with a knife but for a quick fine diced these are so fast and easy.
Is this the same one that James May used?
Same as this from AU?
That's the other model. It has a little sweeper arm that scrapes off the sides of the chamber on each push.
Recommended model. It is insanely priced at $70 but it ofen goes for $35.
Thanks OP
Anyone used this for quite hard ingredients, eg. coffee beans, coriander seeds/etc. to make indian spice mixes????
Get a cheap coffee grinder, even a bladed one will do a better job.
Cheers OP, I was literally crying this morning cutting onions. Are they pumping the onions with hormones or something cause why are they so strong these days!
maybe your knife is getting blunt
Keep onions in the fridge and they are less likely to make you cry :)
Seems design flaw.
You have to put veg/carrots first and then the blade. Which has the probability not getting lid closed. For small quantity, may work fine. But I really think this is not going to be painless considering sometimes you may want to chop some good quantity of veg.
For reference, here’s Kmart one.

Not comparing Apple vs Oranges but at least that flaw is sorted in Kmart one.
I'm not really convinced this would be easier to use than a knife in terms of cleanup etc also.
Even though it pulls apart easily for the dishwasher etc, would you really want to be doing that everytime you have to chop veggies, vs just cleaning a knife under the tap?
Same thought for me, plus the space taken for another tool isn't helpful. I think it's definitely useful for some.
I wouldn't use this for everything, but it is handy for stuff you want really finely diced like carrots/celery for a Bolognese sauce. My knife skills aren't great so I just rough chop into large chunks, then smash em with this for 20 seconds or so and they're perfect. No way I'm getting it to that level of dicedness with a knife alone.
came here looking for this comment
I came here to recommend the same thing, absolutely great device. Only downside is the blade can't go in the dishwasher (the bowl and lid can though). Brilliant design with the electrics in the top piece that never gets exposed to food, so it just stays plugged in for me and permanently on the kitchen counter.
I looked at a tonne of chopping devices after seeing James May using one, this one won out.
Is it just a mini blender?
Basically, but the blade is designed for mostly even chopping rather than blending. This will cut onions into small pieces with a half second blitz. A blender will just juice the part closest to the bottom.
I find it better than a blender for things like dips too because you don't need to add liquid to get it going properly.
How fine can it chop? Need to disguise the veggies from the kids
Down to about a 3 or 4 mm dice
Upvoted for Choppa
The one I got is pretty crappy for moist veggies… just sticks to the blades and jammed up.
Hehehe moist
Hehehe moist
Not design for wet 🤣
Does Peter Russell Clarke use these?
Who is James Mary and why should be care what kitchen gadgets they use?

How can someone honestly think this is worth 70 bucks at full price.
I also imagine clean up would be a bitch
