Having purchased this chopper mainly because of the Cuisinart name, I can say that I am quite dissatisfied with its performance.  It will easily chop boiled eggs, soft olives and nuts.  Anything with a skin such as green or Kalamata olives and especially bell peppers ends up sort of hacked, but not quite cut through.  You have to remove the pieces and continue to cut them with a knife.  If I had kept the box and receipt, I would have returned this item.  It is not worth the price.
