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

Works amazing. I had to grind a few pounds of walnuts each year making xmas cookies and that used to be a chore. Now I get it done in 5 kin A+

Very durable nut chopper. Easy to use and clean. It is a good value for the money and I highly recommend.

What I Like: The square design of this nut grinder is much better than its round counter part as all six grinding blades are full length. This makes for a more efficient and more consistent grind. It is easy to use on softer nuts like walnuts and pecans. The removeable bottom makes it much easier to clean and remove finished product. The grind, although inconsistant, is better than results in a food processor and far less effort than chopping with a knife. What I don't like: It is not a sturdy when grinding almonds as there is alot of flex in the handle, it takes a good amount of effort, you really need to secure the center of the crank with your thumb while turning a half turn at a time with your fingers otherwise it feels on the verge of breaking apart. The handle is also too short and too flimsy to get proper leverage on hard nuts like almond. Although it does a good job on softer nuts with almonds the entire mechanism flexes and unless I support it as mentioned above it feels like it will break apart. I also saw no difference between course and fine grind. Summary: At $23 this is as good and as sturdy as one can expect. I would pay more for a sturdier version that made it easier to grind almonds but I saw no such option. For the money I'm OK with it and it does give an acceptable grind for nuts used in sundaes, baklava, and to put over cereal. I am not confident in its longevity as improper technique with almonds may break it.

This is great for Walnuts and Pecans, but, for Almonds I've had to go straight to a deep-bowl mortar & pestle or a full on Grain Grinder set on coarse. I've busted too many of these hand-crank choppers with Almonds to risk another one breaking.

I grew up with a nut chopper like this. It was great. After my mother passed, one of my siblings asked to keep it. I had been chopping nuts on a cutting board with a large knife, which is always messy. So for my holiday baking, I looked for a nut chopper similar to what I grew up with. This looked like the one! It is cute, comes in different colors, is easy to load and unload, and is easy to clean. But when it comes to chopping nuts, I am not impressed. Almonds in particular really challenge it. I can't just "turn the crank". I have to hold the crank handle close to the container and forcefully push it around. The almonds come out nicely chopped, but if you have any hand issues (arthritis, weak hands, etc.), this is going to be tough for you to use. For softer nuts, like walnuts, it works a little better, but I use lots of almonds. Disappointed.

Now this year is the best thing I believe I have gotten off of here. I love this utensil. It’s amazing. It’s what you need. I saw it at a friend’s house and so I had to get me one.

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.

I bought this because it reminded of my mom‘s. It works it does grind up nuts very fine.

I bought this item to primarily chop up brazil nuts, which are notoriously hard. This is such a wonderful little device, it does a cracking job. I have found it best to process just one nut at a time, there are 2 settings one for coarse chopping, the other for fine chopping, and it all comes apart very easily for washing. The fact that it isn't electrical means that you can control the degree to which the nuts are chopped. I'm very pleased with it. I think it's fantastic.

Es una herramienta formidable para trozar chile seco, me resolvió la necesidad que tenia como instrumento de cocina

Good price for good quality

This works well for all varieties of nuts without any issues would order it again if i need another one.

I was looking for something like the one my mom used, acquired in the middle of the last century. It works perfectly and has a higher capacity than the one she had.
