I have the Mueller version in the center. I did my research and chose this model on a few factors. I love soup so having this has saved time prepping veggies. You still have to cut them but onions, potatoes, peppers are no issues. Be aware of carrots however, you need to basically half and quarter the carrots without risk of bending the blades. I've broke on other model, I guess I'll never learn.
It had a larger cutting area, most were 8 x 8, this was 9 x 9.
Larger bowl but it is not as thick as I hoped. I also handwash this so it doesn't crack. Not sure how it would fare in dishwasher.
I bought it because I was tired of killing (3) the Vidalia Onion Chopper. I was always bending the blades with carrots. I HATE prepping them. And I seemed to have always cracked the plastic bases.
Price was also $10 more then Onion Chopper when I bought this in 2019, (now the Onion Chopper is just as much) but you got a few more accessories then just two blades.
I tend to only use the chopping blades. Only issue I noticed is I think I bent the fine square chopper. Used it last week and I could feel the blades move when I washed it. So I'll probably have to replace.
I thought I'd use the other accessories but I have a shredder and mandoline slicer that do a much better job.
I'd suggest if you really eat many vegetables and hate prepping. I make soup at least once a month if not more. I personally think this saves me so much time prepping so I will buy another model when I break this one.
If you only prep once in a great while then get a good set of knives like others have suggested.
