I love this food chopper! 3 cups is the perfect size for most everything I use it for! I had a one cup before and it just didn't cut it! This 3 cup is big enough for all the chopping I need in my kitchen. I love how easy it is to assemble and clean. It chops the food amazingly well. I have chipped everything from Graham crackers for crust to tomatoes for salsa without having to chop in batches. It has definitely replaced my old one!
