I have the Genius Nicer Dicer for 2 years in use, only now showing the knife "fatigue". It had a New ago. Have only a 20 Euro cheaper variant ordered through another mail order - but it was only for a ton (The blade inserts did not fit, the lid clamped when cutting ...). One must buy the original, on the lid must Genius stand and just so you can be satisfied! The Nicer Dicer is a wonderful maid service, a Happy and Guillotine. A big bowl full of mixed salad is ready in 10 minutes. I am very pleased with this unit.
