Good chopper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this chopper. Could be a little easier to clean. But the cleaning tool works well enough.

Horribe. Do not buy
Horrible. It broke within the first five minutes of using it. The small grid does not fit appropriately with the grid pattern at the top and the small grid breaks pretty much instantly

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Cuisinart® Fruit and Vegetable Box Chopper. To help ensure proper operation, we recommend confirming the cutting grid is fully seated and aligned before use and avoiding excessive force when processing firmer fruits or vegetables; however, the grid should not break within the first few minutes of normal use. If the small grid was damaged during initial use, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190. Thank you for sharing your feedback; your comments regarding the grid fit and durability will be shared with our product team for review and consideration.

Broke 1st Use
Broke the first time I used it. Box says “Lifetime Warranty” but doesn’t give any contact information. Frustrating.

Inferior small blade
The device is well-made, and the large blade has proven useful; HOWEVER, this morning. I used the small blade to dice an onion, which I sliced into 6 slices, and then quartered prior to using the device to chop. On the first slice, a blade fell out altogether! On a subsequent slice (which I accepted would occur without one of the vertical blades) two additional blades failed (came loose). The device is a great concept, and the large blade has worked about three times; however, the small blade is useless.

Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901097609 so we can assist you with available options. Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback; it has been forwarded to the appropriate team, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.

Chopper Issues
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Plastic container at bottom cracked When you make the new version think about saying “front” and “back” to avoid this from happening
1 reply from Cuisinart team - 2 months ago
We're sorry to hear that the container on your PrepExpress® Vegetable & Fruit Chopper cracked during use. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the directional labeling, and can certainly understand how using "front" and "back" markings may help make assembly and operation more intuitive while potentially reducing stress on the container. If you need assistance with your product or would like to discuss replacement options, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901066442.

Convenient, but Small Grid broke on first use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the large grid a few times and it's worked great, but the first time I used the small to chop onions one of the blades bent and popped out. I was mindful not to try chopping too large a piece, but it didn't matter. Disappointing durability/quality for what would be a very handy product.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the PrepExpress® Vegetable & Fruit Chopper. We're sorry to hear the small chopping grid blade bent during use; to help reduce stress on the blades, we recommend cutting onions and other ingredients into smaller, uniform pieces and ensuring they are centered on the grid before pressing. A bent blade is not the experience we want for our customers, especially after limited use. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901058086 so we can further assist. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us better understand our consumers' experiences and continue improving our products and support.

Hard to clean
Chops well but taking it apart to clean is way too difficult. The food guide ( the part in the lid is a nightmare to remove to clean. If you do not remove it water gets stuck under it.
1 reply from Cuisinart team - 2 months ago
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the PrepExpress® Vegetable & Fruit Chopper. We're glad to hear the chopper performs well, but we're sorry the cleaning process has been frustrating. To help prevent water from becoming trapped, we recommend carefully removing the food guide from the lid after each use and allowing all components to air dry completely before reassembly. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us better understand our consumers' experiences and continue improving our products and support.

Bent Blades
I bought this dicer roughly 2 weeks ago after my old one broke(different brand). I went to dice onions today for our chili, and on the first use with the small cutting dicer the blades got bent and damaged. I didn’t overfill the chopping area so I didn’t understand why. I tried fixing it with a pliers but the blades won’t go back in place. After that I used the large dice setting and was able to finish dicing my onions and that worked so smoothly. Cut like butter. I also noticed that the top piece of the equipment got damaged as well when dicing it. Almost as if the slots didn’t line up correctly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought used3 times locking tab broke! Used duck tape to hold blade in. Then about 6 or 7th time small chop 2 blades came completely out. Too much money I vested to throw away wouldn't recommend it at all!

Only lasted 3 uses
We had our previous chopper for years and it worked great before a small plastic piece broke. This one lasted THREE uses before one of the chopper blades broke off into the food (green peppers, not even a hard food). Do not recommend this product.
