Promising review: “SOLD! I love how convenient and hassle-free this tool has been in the kitchen. I have saved on water, by not needing to bring out my cutting board, AND knife to get this bad boy chopped up. One tool is all you need for food prepping. I do love a good chop, though, but this is perfect for meal prepping and having to come home to make dinner after a long, busy day at work. I have gotten at least six whole, unpeeled garlic cloves in one round. I cannot rave enough about how much time it's saved me having to spend in the kitchen. Cleanup is super easy too! Well, what are we waiting for? Go get one!” —Kim
