PrepWorks Nut Chopper – Manual Handheld Nut Grinder for Chopping Nuts, Seeds, and Herbs, Easy to Use, BPA-Free

I tried it on walnuts. "I should have more walnuts in my diet and less Gluten" sooo. This is great! Put the walnuts or whatever kind of nuts you want in the top. The crank indicates to turn in one way for fine chop and turn the other way for coarse chop. The you turn it (which is not the smoothest to do, but it is what it is) and the chopped nuts go into the holder below. Not as messy as me chopping with a knife and lots safer. I can chop twice as many nuts in the same time. ( I put them in my yogurt with blueberries.) It seems the nuts I refrigerated are a bit easier to chop. I have washed it in dishwasher top rack twice and it comes out fine. I am impressed with this! There are even measurements on the bottom cup so you can see how much you have chopped, for recipes. Turn the whole thing over, open the bottom lid and you can dump the nuts out easily.

This item is a little tough to turn when grinding almonds, but at least it works without bending the blades. I usually buy a large container of assorted nuts and don't eat all of the almonds. I bought this item to grind those extra nuts for the birds. I think they like the results as much as I do.

It does its job for the price, but a couple of things I don’t like about it. I bought it because of the larger base and I hoped that it would be more stable but it’s not. I mostly use it for nuts and when grinding those, I still have to lean on top of it to keep it balanced. For things like almonds, the grinder takes a lot of elbow grease to turn the handle, and the more force to turn the handle, the more I have to counterbalance the grinder. To access the contents and control emptying it, you have to turn it upside down, otherwise everything comes tumbling out all at once. The quantity measurements on the side are very helpful.

Nice idea! Makes a quick job of chopping nuts.

I bought this device on the strength of number of buyers and high scores. Wish I had read actual reviews as part of my consideration.After it arrived, I returned here to read how to change chopping pattern and any tips of cleaning and I read the reviews about difficulty in handling almonds. Glad I did or I would have destroyed this on first use.It is essential not to load it to the top with almonds just enough to cover the bottom. When grinding put forefinger and change to thumb on the part coming out of the device to transfer some of the pressure when turning the handle. Better yet, just use the handle starting at the bottom then rock about an eighth of a turn one way then the next.As far as value, I think this would be better prices around $10 and at the risk of being labeled unpatriotic by the orange one, I suspect the current price reflects the tariffs. If this lasts beyond 3 months, I'll add a star for durability sake.

I thought this would be the answer to my hatred of chopping nuts or paying the high price of chopped nuts in the store. It turns out that the only positive thing I can say is that the retro color is cool. This chopper does not work!! The parts are difficult to put together and don't stay together when you turn the handle to chop nuts unless you push down hard on the top. And even then, if you aren't pressing down straight, the chopper topples over, the components came apart and chopped nuts spill all over your counter. So, after I cleaned up the mess, even though I was turning in the direction to produce larger pieces, at least half of what came out was powder (nut meal); totally unusable for what I was baking! I'm honestly not sure how you're supposed to get the "chopped" nuts out successfully. When I turned the chopper over to empty the bottom compartment, I apparently wasn't holding all the parts together strongly enough because the components came apart again...nuts all over the counter!! This chopper has serious design issues!! I wish I had returned this after the first use but I decided to try it again knowing all I had learned about it. The second time was only marginally better. I still had to man-handle it and I basically got nut powder in the end. I was going to give it to Goodwill but decided it wouldn't be fair to whoever bought it and threw it away instead. I have only ever written one bad review before this and didn't really want to spend the time writing this one, but I felt strongly that I needed to tell of my experience.

Works well as a "herb grinder"

Good item
