Vertical Style

I am so impressed with my new commercial grade cutter! It is so convenient to save time and cut food in easy to eat slices! So far here is what I like about the cutter: 1. Easy assembly 2. Saves time, when cutting veggies, fruit and meat 3. Perfect and even slices everytime 4. 3 different cut sizes 5. Sturdy and well made materials 6. Blades are sharp 7. Works with minimal pressure 8. Rubber feet prevent slips I ordered this cutter to make my cooking routine easier and faster at home. The cutter is much heavier than I expected and is made with heavy duty commercial grade stainless steel. I use this almost daily to cut apple slices for my sons lunch and he loves it! Perfect to get picky eaters to enjoy eating more fruits and veggies. So excited to make avocado fries, fried zucchini and motzarella sticks! The posibilities are endless (

Easy to use and clean, an most importantly requires minimal effort to cut fries. Very, very well made! Replacement blades are readily available if necessary although the ones supplied are heavy duty and should last a long, long time. As well as additional styles of cutting blades are available (I purchased a blade set for making steak fries that fits perfectly). Thankfully this cutter uses industry standard sized cutting blades just in case. Please note that like ALL cutters, this unit is not meant to cut sweet potatoes unless you soften them first (by microwaving them briefly or boiling them for a couple of minutes in water) but it does do an excellent job on sweet potatoes and other hard roots once softened. I also use this to cut zucchini to make 'zoodles' with the smallest attachment. They are fantastic, much better than any spirilazer because they are thick enough not to get soggy and thin enough to hold any sauce you put on them. I am very, very pleased with this cutter and highly recommend it. It is excellent also to dice softer veggies like carrots and cucumbers.

As a teen my mother handed me a 1950's potato fry maker with a red painted wood handle and said get after it if you want French fries so bad. I was on the high school football team and was in excellent physical condition. I forced 2 poor potatoes through that fry maker before pulling out the sharpest knife and cutting the rest by hand. This fry cutter took lightly sprouted but still firm baking potatoes some over 7" long, easily cutting them. I did notice starting required more finger pressure. That might be avoided when starting the cut by wobbling the potato as you place it. Also, it likes straight up and down potatoes, no leaning, for smoother cuts. As for the screws and other reviewers, yes I will be getting thumb screws (wing bolts) 2 different lengths to replace the combination Phillips/standard (straight, slot) screws. As most people will use the same cutting grid, I see no reason to change out the short slot head (standard) screws that hold the press bracket. Several were irritated with no place to put a bowl. I used cheap sheet of gripper available at Dollar (+.25) Tree or Amazon. I placed the material over the base of the press, gave it a few inches extra and cut it off of the roll I got from Amazon. I tried 2 different sized bowls, one round, one square and both worked very well. My round bowl is easily 3 times larger than the pictured square bowl. SUMMARY: This is a serious fry maker and built as such. It is heavy for manual home kitchen food processing and weighs roughly equal to a quality home electric food processor. With fresh vegetables even preteen and elderly can operate it. I did not notice any forward tipping as long as I pulled on the down moving handle. Look closely at the picture and you will notice the press is on a Sam's Club cutting board which is on our RV bedroom's memory foam mattress, no tipping. Watch the product video. Cleaning requires 4 screws (6 if the food is very juicy). Brush first then your choice of soapy wash then rinse, rinse or. Bachelor style: leave the press and the receiving bowl on the counter for tomorrow night. Not recommended as it dulls the blades, lol. Cons: Send better instructions for the less mechanically inclined. Include with the press a simple stand for the receiving bowl. The 2 guide posts should have been made full length yet I saw no problems resulting from the shorter ones. I will correct this on mine in time. THE SCREWS- nuff said on screws. Factory suggestions: Extend the guide posts up to a mounted cross bar with holes for the guides. Make a simple stand for the bowl that moves with the press should it slide slightly. Redesign the press handles so they are slip lock or pin in for easy removal and install for storage. Most importantly: SEND ME 5 UPDATED PRESSES, FREE OF CHARGE, FOR TESTING PURPOSES. 4 of the units will be divvied to our children's households whose cuisines include body building, French, Mexican, New Mexican, American Canning, Italian, Navajo, Apache, Southern, East Indian, Ukrainian and fast food from most of the aforementioned. MY CRYSTAL BALL tells me all will be delighted with the press. We have not tried sweet potatoes yet. I plan on soaking my sweet potatoes for 5 hours in purified drinking water before attempting to put them through the press. If that does not work I will boil them for the recommended time. 4 Stars: This press is truly a "green" pearl. A few minor enhancements/changes and this unit will be hands down the best for home use. I docked one star because it is not what it could and should be. Reason recipe for getting this press: New Mexico green chili cheese fries. https://www.amazon.com/505-Southwestern-Organic-Green-Chile/dp/B005DFM87U/ref=sr_1_33?crid=50TZZ37NNG7W&keywords=hatch+green+chili+sauce&qid=1672609771&sprefix=Hatch+greeen+chili+%2Caps%2C160&sr=8-33 , make fries, warm up sauce, plate the fries, pour on the sauce, sprinkle with liberal amounts of shredded cheese, shredded lettuce with diced tomatoes, sour cream and/or guacamole are optional, thank the Lord for good food and dig in.

This device is a beast. The fact that the handle pulls down and the machine is sturdy means no moving around on the countertop and much faster fry cutting. Would definitely recommend.

After much review/comparison and with reservation due to a few reviews, I can my worries were unfounded. Device is HEAVY and appears to be built very strong. Cut small and medium sized potatoes with complete easy. Hint - microwave potato for 30 seconds and that will help cut smoother. Tried shoe string and regular sized fry cutting pieces. Hate the design that requires screws to remove top plate and bottom cutter blade each time to change and wash. They should use some type of speed lock on locking pin. Also shoestring is hard to clean out mash potatoes and will require a small butter knife. The suction cup holds suprisingly well on quartz countertop. Unit is big and heavy.

This is the great product. It is so easy to use, that I started cutting potatoes into fries, then freezing them for use later. I was going to buy another one as a gift to a family member, but it was out of stock. I was so disappointed. The only problem was cleaning the blades. I mistakenly unscrewed all the screws and the blade came off. It was so difficult putting them back on, that I thought it was easier to buy a replacement blade. These blades are unavailable, so I fortunately was able to put the blades back. I will never make that mistake again. The company should sell the blades separately.

The press works well for cubing tomatoes and onions. The rotating handle multiplies the torque and reduces the strain on your arms/hands. As others have complained, the screws are a bit annoying and could be upgraded. The best bowl to use for this is one of those screw-in kitchenaide mixer bowls. The suction cup feet are cheap and don't stay on well but otherwise the press works great.

I love it, makes cutting potatoes for fries a cinch!! Suctions to the counter so it’s really sturdy, the fly wheel is easy to maneuver and easy enough to clean. A little bigger than I anticipated but it’s great.

Very sturdy press. The nature of the design needs less effort than any lever style press. Only downside is screws rather than knurled screws for tool less die change. I personally just went to a local hardware store and grabbed M6 knurled head bolts in the lengths matching the original and never looked back at the oversight of using screws on frequently changed parts of the press. Would be a solid 5 star if it came with knurled bolts instead of mix an match phillips and flat head screws to change dies.
