 Good only for the first few timesJun 19, 2010
I had high expectations from this product. Based on other reviews, I made sure that the vegetables I use to cut are fresh and I used a smooth and firm stroke. It worked for me first 3-4 times. But after that, it doesn't cut anymore. Probably blades went bad. Didn't expect such cheap quality blades from Alligator. Don't waste your money on this product.

Does it work easily? No dice.Apr 04, 2010
The dicer works well enough. As noted in other reviews, it works best if you slam it down with your fist rather than trying to press it down. I keep thinking I'll have to buy another one soon, but so far it has held together. Two caveats: 1) Make sure the collection shield is in place before smashing it down; 2) Tell your (very sweet and dear) wife not to try to clean the grid by pressing her fingers on the sharp side.

It does the jobFeb 07, 2010
My old Progressive food chopper finally started wearing out and the blades were bending from too much use so I thought I would try the Alligator because it had good reviews. It definitely does the job, but I do not find it as study as my old chopper. The collector is nice, but I wish it had a lid to store the chop items if you are not using them right away.
With both my old chopper and the Alligator, it is important to pre-slice your vegetables for an even, unified chop. I find, however, that even pre-slicing the onions, it is sometimes hard to get it to go through without leaving behind some residue. There are instances where you have to press pretty hard to get the onion to go through. I have used it for onions, peppers, carrots and garlic so far.
All in all, it is a nice slicer. Certainly a lot easier and more uniform than trying to chop by hand. My only recommendation is that all of these gadgets be washed by hand rather than the dishwasher because I believe the dishwasher dulls even the sharpest blades.

 Better than before!Jun 24, 2009
The Alligator was already a popular choice to dice onions, sweet peppers, tomatos, etc. I have even used mine to make matchsticks out of sweet potatos. Now that it has this clear plastic collector it is even easier to use. Sometimes you need to press pretty hard to push the vegetables through the blades and this keeps them from ending up all over your workspace.

 OK productFeb 25, 2009
I liked this product a lot until I put a parsnip in it. I guess the parsnip was too tough as I bent the metal pieces that do the cutting. My husband tried to fix it, but it's not the same and I haven't been able to find the company contact info to let them know. It broke after only a couple months of use.
