First of all, my husband and I totally loved the way it chopped up the vegetables. That was excellent for the zucchinis, onions, peppers and such. You must be extremely careful when cleaning the machine if you left the blade installed. It was very sturdy and the handle was greatly appreciated when chopping the veggies. I would have kept it had it included the 1/2 inch blade for the French fries. After searching for it on Amazon, it appeared to be costly for just that blade. I opted to return this one and once processed, will exchange it for another Vevor French Fry Cutter that has the 1/2 inch blade included with the rest of the blades. Other than this kink, it was an excellent product. Seller, please consider sending this blade instead of one of the wedge or core blades. Thank you!!! Looking forward to getting the chopper to make some yummy fries....
