MaxamVegetable Chopper, Dynamic Food Processor with Stainless-Steel Shredders With 5 Quart Mixing Bowl

Very well built and functional! Certainly made cutting up vegetables so much easier and perfect cut!

I love this kitchen product. I use it primarily to make carrot salad and wouldn’t be without it in my kitchen.Just be careful not to press too hard when using very hard vegetables, like some carrots. Use gently pressure when the vegetables are very solid with no flexibility. Great product!

Where to start... I've been into fasting and raw foods for years. A former housemate used to have a hand crank grater and I used to make a huge carrot salad with it almost every day. Couldn't get enough of it. That was in the 90s. I've thought of that grater from time to time over the years, especially on the rare occasion I make a carrot salad, which is extremely rare because I have one of those typical knuckle buster things. I went looking for something more efficient a few days ago and came across this contraption. It was pricey but... you know a salad is good when you think about it for years....anyway, I bought it. It showed up the next day. I cleaned everything and went to bed, excited to try it out after a trip to the farmer's market today. I have to say, this is one of the best purchases I've ever made. A carrot shreds in mere seconds before your eyes with virtually no effort. I used the number 4 to thinly slice a cucumber into the salad and was enraptured. Cleanup was a breeze. I don't know how I lived without it. I've called friends. Might have a party for it. This thing turns chopping, dicing and slicing into a dream you look forward to.

It just arrived yesterday and already we can't get enough. We've been searching frantically through the fridge for things to chop and string and grate. It is fairly simple to use and it feels extraordinarily sturdy - However there are a few (minor) drawbacks. As much as we truly enjoy the unit the downsides are...1. The blades on the slicing cones (i.e. waffle and slicing cone) are not spaced far apart enough to get full slices of apples and potatoes. The slices look great and are excellent thickness but they come to an end before you reach the other side of the fruit (as the next blades has already begun slicing into the fruit before the first blade could fully penetrate through).2. There is not any safe/easy/effective way to keep food near the blade when the food size has decreased (example: the apple has been sliced with the waffle cutter until there is only 1/4 left but you want to get the entire apple sliced). The unit comes with a dark gray plastic food guard attached to the hopper for this purpose but we have found it to be largely ineffective without also using a thumb or some other finger to keep the food firmly pressed against the hopper and blade.3. There are not illustrated examples of proper food placement /holding techniques in the instruction manual. While they do offer a few written suggestions on how to grate, string, peel, etc. we found these somewhat confusing and difficult to enact without accompanying illustrations.Overall this was a very delightful and enjoyable addition to our kitchen and we would recommend this item.11/14/2023 edit... After learning and experiencing more, just buy a food processor 🤦🏾‍♂️

We bought the scratch and dent model, so it was like $80 instead of the usual $120, or the $400 for high brand ones. I love this! I'm trying to eat a lot of vegetables and this chopper makes it so easy! It's so versitile. You want zoodles? Put on the grater blade and wrap the zucchini around, best you can. You don't even need a mandolin or spiralizer. Scalloped potatoes, carrot chips, hash browns, carrot salad, cauliflower rice, Coleslaw, all easy. This will do anything that's firm, like cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, beets, parsnips, potatoes... The only feature that I think is not the best is the French fry chopper. (I like sweet potato fries.) It's more of a Frito maker. It needs wider holes, but I think it's mostly the turning blade model that makes really short fries. Otherwise, I love it. Couldn't have gone Paleo without it.

I ignored the reviews that it might not be an original maxam product but that seems true. The blades are not working as I hoped it will. I tried using cone 4 on vegetables but it was hard and difficult, definitely not similar to salad master experience.

Made of metal.Smooth rolling action.Much easier to clean compared to electric processors with plastic parts.Not cheap but worth it.Stainless steel bowel has thick walls and is well polished.

I had an older style salad master than has a suction cup at the bottom and a little lever to pull over and create the suction. It stopped working so I couldn't use my processor. This one just doesn't need the suction to attach to the counter and so it will never be unusable. I also had a problem with my old one where the cones were not tight and would fall off as soon as I stopped cutting. The cones on this Maxam have a tight wedge and do not fall off. It is awesome. The bowl is nice as it catches more food (or all of it) where just my regular household bowls are not as tall, or are not wide enough, or are too big and 1/3 of the cut veggies end up on the counter. I suggest buying the Maxam with the bowl.
