This chopper is an absolute work-horse. It would easily stand up to daily use for years. No flimsy plastic and it will handle the largest of potatoes with ease. The long handle provides very good leverage to get through the toughest of cuts. You will need a good amount of space to store this item because of its height and footprint so if your space is tight, you might consider an alternative. The two minor issues I have with the unit are most likely unavoidable given the functional design. First, changing the blades involves partial disassembly of the mechanism. The designers did help overcome this with the quick release handle fastener pin. The second is the way that the cutting guides are attached. Thumb screws are used to secure it to a plastic housing. If you happen to have large fingers, you will need some type of pliers to loosen the thumb screws and I am wary of the impact of time and multiple blade changes may have on the plastic housing. So far it has been fine so the concerns may turn out to be unfounded. Overall, if you have the storage space, this is a terrific product and I would purchase it again.
