I love all of my Hamilton Beach appliances, but this is my very favorite! I dread prepping for meals. Chopping by hand takes forever! This chopper lets me chop, mince, dice in seconds! We love Salsa, and we can literally make it in the chopper in less than ten minutes! Of you love too cook, but not the prep I highly recommend this for you. The price is so affordable! I save a lot on fresh produce using this, because there is less waste.
