When using the chopper, does it chop or pulverize the nuts or onion?

Just chopped onions yesterday. Whether the onion is chopped or pulverized depends upon how long you operate the chopper. I watched as the onion was chopped and stopped when the desired fineness was achieved. Worked great.

My Smart Stick died after a year. But when it worked, it did chop onions very small. I don't think pulverize is accurate. I never tried it with nuts.

Yes it sure can. However, sometimes I find that it does "too good of a job". On things like onion used in a potatoe salad, it comes out more minced than my husband and I like. Sorta ends up mushy and I have to drain the onion juice away from the end product. It might be me though... I prefer to chop onion with a manual chopper. "Carrots, etc?" I love it!!! You will too!! I can't recall the differentiations of this model vs another as I did a comparison with a good share of other models and brands a long while back. it has done a superb job!.... Hope this helps.

It is quiet and does not howl. It is "noisy" when it is actually chopping, but one would expect that. It chops quickly so you do not want to leave it on too long. An onion the size of a baseball is chopped in 10 seconds or so.

Absolutely cuts raw onion, I would think it could cut potato & beetroot just as well but I haven't tried those.I only have this chopper a short while and loving it. Cleans extremely easy. I think stainless blades neverneed sharpening. Two year limited warranty. Booklet that comes explains in detail.

I've chopped a variety of vegetables, dried fruits, and nuts. It also does a great job of making nut butters.

Its not a chopper. It does slice very thinly. You can criss cross over the blade and get a cubing effect.

It doesn't mush some of the food before the rest is chopped. you have great control over size of chop. It has a sweeper on the bottom that moves the food around well.

I haven't used it in that way. I use it for chopping vegetables and nuts. If needed just drain it by pouring excess off.

The piece you use to chop whatever you are chopping come off an as the blade in in can be washed easy. that part comes off easy. The handle part holds the electrical parts you just wipe it with a damp cloth. I love mine. It does a great job on sliceing an on salad stuff. This one came with two blades, I had all the other blades with the older one I had an thy work with this one.

You don't turn the black piece. It pushes up and down. That motion is what makes the blades of the chopper turn However, I find that if I fill the container too full or with large pieces, the black top will not come back up and I have to open the container to let the blades release before the black top can go back down again. Also, I sometimes cut my onion into smaller pieces before chopping them extremely fine in the chopper. Hope this helps.

I have chopped nuts but not ginger or bok choy. It worked great. The blades are REALLY sharp.

No, I don't think that will work. Baby food is usually much softer than what works best with this chopper. It works well with firm textures like garlic, onion, other firm vegetables and most nuts. I think you need a small food processor which is also available on Amazon. Hope this helps. :)

Yep :) No problem! The V-shaped blade (I can't recall it's proper name at the moment) is the one I use to chop nuts with, though I think its also possible with the flat blade ...

I use this chopper for onions, firm fruit and all most everything else but tomatoes. I think the tomatoes are just a little soft. I have some other chopprs but this one is the one that I use.

It will pick up acorns but it may hurt the impeller chopping them eventually. The metal impeller is much stronger than the plastic one in my older model that I replaced with this model so it may not be bothered by the nuts.

I haven't tried it. Are you trying to create slivered almonds? If you want chopped walnuts or almonds, use a Pampered Chef chopper; just a few chops and your done.

if they are thinly sliced vertically, not as well on thick round slices. Its just a quick chop that you hand turn, great for onion, bell peppers, squash, etc.
