This item works great - easy to use / clean / and change blade sizes.

Customer Review: ONE GREAT FRENCH FRY MAKER
Summary: 5 Stars
I BOUGHT THIS CUTTER FOR MY DAD FOR FATHERS DAY BECAUSE HE HAS ALWAYS SAID THAT HE NEEDED ONE. HE LOVES IT! HE HAS COOKED WITH IT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE HE GOT IT AND I HAVEN'T HEARD A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. IT IS STRONG DURABLE AND CUTS THE POTATOES VERY WELL. I MAY EVEN BY MYSELF ONE SINCE THE PRICE IS CHEAP. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GOOD FRENCH FRY MAKER THAT IS VERY REASONABLY PRICED.Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a simple and easy to use product. I didn't even have to read the directions on how to remove the blades. The only downfall is that you can't use very big vegetables. I use it to make home made french fries. I had to cut the potato in order for it to fit in the cutter. Aside from that it's a great product.Customer Review: Well designed and versatile veggie/fry cutter!

This is a fabulous all in one cutter! It neatly cuts so many items into perfectly shaped finger food, the possibilities are endless...carrot and celery sticks, zuchini and squash sticks, french fries, homemade mozzarella sticks... If you can fit it in the cutter, it'll slice it. In most cases, items are easily cut. It does take a sturdy hand to press the bar down, but nothing my ten year old hasn't been able to cut. I would say, consider the density of the food item before selecting the size of cutting grate. The denser the vegetable, the more force it's going to take to press the cutting bar down through a small grate. You may have to adjust the thickness of the cut based on your ability and strength to press the bar down. For instance, shoe string potatoes are quite a challenge, although if that's what you want, if you don't have the arm strength to man handle the bar, I'd suggest buying the "Alligator onion chopper," it masters small hashbrown type cuts on potatoes and onions! The Alligator only has one sized cutting screen, very small. I can't tell you why it works so much better on these dense food items, maybe the blades are sharper... So, consider what you're going to use this Progressive slicer for, in most cases, it's the right answer. I personally have two choppers, the "Alligator onion chopper" for onions and diced/shoe string potatoes, and this "Progressive Cutter" for all other applications. I use them enough that I know what works best on each chopper, and I'd rather have the right application tool than get less than satisfactory results from just one product.Customer Review: Two hands for one hand cutter
Summary: 4 Stars
In my quest to cut potatoes into french fries without removing any of my fingers, I picked up this international and progressive French fry cutter. Now I am not sure what makes this cutter international or progressive, but it does cut. The size of the unit is somewhat smaller than I would have preferred which results in somewhat smaller fries. However, the cutter performs the task fairly well. Although the grip is made for one hand, be prepared to have your other hand close to give it a err...hand. Quite a bit of force is required to complete the cutting task. Not so much that you need heavy machinery, but enough that I was surprised.
For an intermittent tool in your kitchen arsenal that costs under $10, I say this cutter is a good buy. Happy cutting!
