Shannon. I DO like your response, as I'm trying to learn more about these things. Can't manually chop. I started this dicussion because old age arthritis makes hand operation difficult. i can chop on cutting board for a small amount, but I usually double or triple recipies. Need to go electric and prefer battery driven.

I have an older version of this Kuhn Rikon chopper that I use fairly often for making things like a quick salsa, small amount of pesto or lots of chopped garlic.

reff,

Thanks, but cannot use a manual pull chopper. Has to be electric cordless.

@Tom Perkins - my Cuisinart that I commented on above was about 5 years old. Perhaps they are better today. But also I think you will get a better machine if you drop your requirement for cordless. An electric mini chopper is much better. Also look at the Kitchenaid models.

Thanks, I just ordered this Cordless Chopper. If I don't like it Amazon will take it back until Jan 31

I hope you enjoy your chopper. I'd love to hear your review.

I share the OPs arthritis and have bought many things, including high end knives that I keep well maintained. OXO makes several excellent gadgets well suited to arthritis. Mini choppers, corded or not, perform poorly IMO.

The one I ordered is the only one I could find with good reviews. Pricey though.

I really like my OXO vegetable chopper - it's "manual" though. But it's really nice for dicing things - you just cut your onion/celery/carrot/whatever into hunks and give a whack with the heel of your hand. Super easy, works well, not a pain to store or pull out, and goes in the DW. Love it.
