How fine will it chop garlic and other?

We use it as a dough knife most of the time. It will work for chopping, but we prefer a knife for that. It's great for gathering up chopped veggies or meat to transfer them to a pot or bowl.

It's for dough, not chopping. The edge is pretty blunt. I didn't read closely and thought I was purchasing a chopper. Caveat emptor, I guess..

This tool is more for use as dough-scraper, as a dividing tool (for, as an example, repackaging multipound hamburger into more usable sizes for freezing). The blade is not sharp enough nor thin enough to be a good garlic chopper (a utility knife would be better).

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.

My chopper is working fine. I used it three days ago to chop vegetables (onions, celery and bell pepper). No problems!

As soon as it doesn't seem to cut as well. PLEASE, get yourself a sharpening steel......what the chefs use. Works GREAT with just a few swipes! And PLEASE DO NOT PUT A GOOD KNIFE INT HE DISHWASHER!!!!!

Yes this chopper works well on foods. The more fine you want it the more you chop...the blade changes direction with every chop so it rotates the food easily.

You can chop anything in this handy little chopper. I love mine and use it for everything.

I bought this item as a gift for my mother. For her, it chops well, but she has not tried nuts or lemon zest. However, it chops up food finely and is working better than slightly bigger than choppers.

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.

The manufacturer advises not to twist or torque the blade. Also warns about not using it to smash a clove of garlic on a cutting board. Since this is ceramic, it requires a bit more caution, but it does slice and chop terrifically.

I haven't tried chopping any of those items, but I would guess it would work just fine. The blades are quite sharp and I've had no problems chopping large chunks of onion with mine.

It does normal food prep well. I have chopped garlic, onions, shallots, and lots of fruits . I have not tried nuts but I think it does as well as any other processor I have used. I think the key to chopping is timing.

I love this chopper. It cuts onions and other vegetables to the size you want just by turning the handle. The more you turn the finer it chops.You should cut the vegetables up a little. For onions I cut into quarters and turn the handle about 3-4 times. I cut up baby carrots (I have not tried the larger carrots) and they turn out great. The electric chopper I have just gets to bogged down with onions and other vegies. I will save it for chopping nuts. This chopper does require that you hold onto to it so it won't move, which can be a little cumbersome, but it is worth the effort.

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.

I usually cut cloves into small pieces and can chop several at a time. LOVE it!

It depends entirely on you. How long you crank the handle determines how fine the chop... The first time I used it I turned my tomatoes into almost Salsa, green peppers also. Then I realized that I had to not turn so many times and or so fast. I even go forward and backward. Probabaly only 5 to 6 turns sill make chop for say tacos. The more you spin it the finer you can make it.

Sure but it will just get cut up a bit more. We use it for cutting up vegetables and then using as a serving dish.

NO, It cant chop light bones, only meat and vegetable. You might chip the edge of the knife if u chop bone, since the edge is thin. To be save you should use the Shun Ken Onion 7-Inch Cleaver to chop bone.
