Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Prepworks by Progressive Nut Chopper with Non-Skid Base I decided that I needed a nut chopper and purchased this item based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. My first use of this chopper was for chopping pecans and I was immediately disappointed with the size of the chopped pieces. Even on the course setting, the pieces seemed very small to me - just short of nut meal. I haven't tried the fine setting, as I have no need for nut meal. I remembered as a kid my grandmother had a crank nut chopper that seemed to do a very good job of chopping pecans so I started looking for one of these vintage nut choppers on eBay. As it turns out, there's a never ending supply of those old Androck brand nut choppers being sold on eBay. I quickly bought an Androck chopper that looks very similar to the one I remembered from my childhood. After thoroughly cleaning the item I put it to use and was surprised to find the size of the chopped pieces to be almost identical to those produced by this Prepworks chopper on the course setting. I find the small pieces of nut produced by both choppers impart a different taste to foods as compared to larger pieces of nut that get noticed when you bite into them. Since the Prepworks chopper only provides the choice of either very small or tiny pieces of nut, I'm deducting one star. I've only used this chopper for a few small tasks, but it seems to be sturdy and well made. It produces very small pieces of chopped nut, and performs this task very well. If you don't mind the small pieces, you will likely be happy with this item. I've decided to go back to a sharp knife, where I can chop nuts to the exact size I want.
