I too am quite surprised positive opinions. The product is admittedly small, not too bulky but of poor quality, and convenience, we can forget. Too narrow chimney for most vegetables. We must indeed cut them into small pieces, which is basically not embarrassing for julienne or shredded, but the major problem is when you want to slice sliced zucchini or potatoes gratin. The cone sends grated or chopped food from all sides. There is too much play between the cones and plastic fireplace, and invariably, a thick vegetable strap comes inevitably become trapped, making it extremely difficult to extract the cone after use. Arm yourself with a knife and all his dexterity to do this ... The engine is underpowered. Even more annoying, it takes more than two hands to use the device, or call Shiva Nataraja: one to press the button continuously, the other to press the vegetable with great force, and he be two to hold the tilted bowl just below the outlet to prevent the vegetable is not dispersed happily on all sides ... It's annoying enough in itself when a carrot grater or a cucumber, but I let you imagine the carnage when it comes to chop a fresh tomato ... I advise against it. This comment was motivated by my only frustration ... :)
