StoreHappily 12 in 1 Vegetable Chopper with 7 Stainless Steel Blades, Container, Lid and Cleaning Tools Review

The StoreHappily Vegetable Chopper is a manual press chopper that cuts vegetables into dice, slices and julienne shreds. The title calls it a 12 in 1 tool, but the listing details point to 7 blades plus accessories such as an egg separator, which together make up the extras.

The listing says the blades are stainless steel and sharp enough to cut food into pieces of different sizes, slices of different thicknesses and julienne shreds. You choose the blade, place the vegetable on it and press the lid down.

A large food storage box catches the cut vegetables. Small drainage holes on its side let excess water drain, which helps when chopping washed produce, and the box has a non-slip base so it stays put while you press.

The set includes a cleaning brush and scraper, a hand protector to keep your fingers safe, an instruction manual and a presentation box, so it works as a gift as well.

The set includes 7 replaceable blades. Different blades produce different sizes of dice, thickness of slices and widths of julienne, so one tool replaces a knife, a mandoline and a grater for many tasks.

The food container is large capacity, with water drainage holes on the sides. The lid has handles, and the bottom has a non-slip design. The listing says this gives better control of the chopping action and saves energy.

The listed dimensions are 8.89 inches long, 4.31 inches wide and 2.68 inches high, with a weight of about 0.92 pounds. Those figures look like the packed size, so the assembled size will be larger.

Accessories include an egg separator, a cleaning brush, a cleaning scraper and a hand protector. These are what make up the 12 in 1 count, along with the blades.

The workflow is simple. Choose a blade, place roughly prepared vegetables on it and press the lid down gently. The listing says this cuts vegetables to the desired size and significantly reduces prep time.

Results depend on the produce. Soft and medium vegetables such as onions, peppers, cucumbers and potatoes suit a press chopper well, while very hard or very large items may need pre-cutting, which the listing hints at when it says to place simply processed vegetables on the blade.

The hand protector keeps fingers away from the blades while pressing, a worthwhile safety feature for a tool with sharp blades.

Cleaning is eased by the included brush and scraper. The listing says to give it a gentle scrape and rinse with water, and sharp edges need careful handling.

The drainage holes help when chopping washed produce, but wet vegetables can slip, so dry them where you can.
