I bought this to replace my 7 year old vidalia chopper. Unfortunately I didn't read the newest reviews written by other customers. I used it to slice mushrooms, one of the easiest things to cut. But I'm glad is was something that's normally such a muted color. I first noticed the problems getting it to line up properly. I didn't pay attention. I dumped the mushrooms into the skillet to sauté. That's when I noticed something odd. There wasn't supposed to be anything green but there was. The skillet wasn't too hot yet so I was able to pick out the little green thing. It wasn't plant matter, it was plastic. It was the same green as the base that pushes the veggies through the slicer and chopper. The same thing that wasn't lining up right. I tried picking out the plastic shards but I kept finding more.
I contacted customer service, their solution was to give me a $3.00 credit. I paid $36 for it. I can't use a quarter of the product. That quarter was the whole reason I bought it. That doesn't work for me.
I will be returning the whole thing and ordering a totally different brand. Next time I'll read the reviews.
