I hesitated to buy this but as ever so happy I did.  I love to cook but hate peeling and cutting veggies.  I peeled some potatoes and put them in to dice them.  At first I could not get the machine to work.  What could be wrong?  Well once I realized I forgot to put the blade in the problem was solved.  Potato diced in a flash.  Also I cannot stay in the room with a peeled onion.  They bother my eyes so much I cannot open my eyes.  Again problem solved.  Peel, dice right into the pan put on stove and cook.  No more burning, running eyes.  I just love this product! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
