has anyone used this to chop celery?

Yes Irene, I have and the double bladed chopper cuts through it like butter. It chops veggies effortlessly!

Yes my husband used it to chop celery for Thanksgiving. It worked like a charm...no issues!

Unlike other reviewers, I found that it didn't do a good job with celery. I wonder if the product I received is defective (dull blades).

Sorry, we haven't used it to chop meat yet but my thinking is it would do the job.

I have not used it for this purpose. I only use it for scooping up chopped veggies a la Rachel Ray. But with the serrated edge it might work. It is well made and sturdy stainless steel. And at the low cost, worth a try.

I wouldn't recommend it as the blade isn't heavy enough. Nowhere in their advertisements or instruction book does it have a recommendation to chop ice. You will only shorten the life of the machine if you use it for other than it was designed for.

I haven't used the chopping function -- not sure there is one but I suppose you could try. It's a blender so does great at pulverizing. For any chopping I use my knife...and in some small instances will use food processor.

This item is much cheaper when you go through a Pampered Chef Consultant. Go to the official Pampered Chef website. YES it will cleanly chop celery. Just cut into chunks and chop without the cap on a polyethelyne cutting board. Chop a few chunks at a time. It works fast!

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

Yes, it chops really fine. I'm not.a ran of a blender except for milkshakes. I use the food chopper for everything else. Be careful not to hold down power button too long though because it will make micro pieces. Powerful little thing.

Yes and I've used it. Works very well for onion slices. NEVER slice without the holder. The blades are very sharp. Which, of course, explains why it works so well! ;)

no, I have not. The two-blade system makes me think it might clog up when cutting cheese. I use it for breads and cooked cuts of meat.

I wouldn't chop with this...I would rather use my good knife. I bought it to use as a scraper and for that it is great.

Yes. It chops anything I have tried on it, including thick slices of ham. Mine stayed sharp for about ten years.

I haven't tried cabbage yet. It does a great job on shredding carrots, slicing peeled cucumbers, and shredding frozen green peppers. I definitely like mine.

I take a knife and cut the celery on a cutting board. Using the Nicer Dicer is ridiculous. I tried many times and it does not work the way the guy on tv showed us. Sometimes I make a mistake in purchasing an item. This was one of them.

I wouldn't use this to chop, really. It really shines in picking up things already chopped with your chefs knife or any other knife. Cheese and other soft things can be chopped with it but this tool is basically a "picker-upper" tool.

You can pulse the unit which gives a chopped feel. If you are looking for something that evenlys chops items you might buy a chopper. I use this to make pico de gallo and it comes out great.

No I haven't. I've only used it for sauces and absolutely love it. It is so powerful though I would think it would work just fine.
