This is without a doubt one of the best (if not The Best) dicers out there. It's design is based on the American "Genius Nicer Dicer", which is not available in India yet. So this was the obvious alternative. At first I was skeptical about the quality of the blades and the build quality. All my doubts disappeared the moment I used the product for the first time. Forget the other reviews that say "you'd need to be Hulk to use it".. Honestly, if you apply simple physics you'd get to know that the greater the surface area, the more pressure you'd need to apply to achieve the same pressure. What that scientific "mumbo-jumbo" means that although the blades are sharp, you still need to apply a bit of pressure as the force you apply is distributed into all the blades evenly. And trust me, that's a good thing!The pros:1. The stainless steal blades are extremely sharp. Anyone doubting that should try running their fingers across the blade (lightly, unless you want a lot of blood!).2. The blades are also rust resistant. I've been using the dicer in my kitchen for about 1.5 months. Even with regular use, the product's blades remain sharp as the day it arrived.3. The container (the box where the cut veggies go) is strong as well. Unless you pound it with all your might, it's not gonna break.4. The cutting process is extremely fast. You can cut through a ton of stuff in a few minutes. Once you try this, you'll wonder how you ever got by without this dicer!5. The anti-skid rubber base is extremely well designed, and works so well you'll forget it even exists. As an Engineer I can attest that's the sign of a well designed product.6. The peeler that comes with the product is the best I've seen in the market. It's amazing and easy to use!The Cons:1. The push to clean button is a little hard. You need a lot of force to push the little plastic button (the inbuilt spring is too tight).2. Cleaning the thing might take a bit of time. The only good way of cleaning the "push to clean" button's components is by pushing said button. It's difficult due to the above reason.Cleaning the blades can become a real nightmare due to how sharp they are, if you aren't careful.3. The minimum cutting size of the mandolin slicer attachment is about 1/4", not ideal if you're looking to cut extra thin potato slices for chips. If so, I'd recommend the .Conclusion:This dicer is worth it's weight in gold. If you're looking for cutting a lot of veggies or fruits in a small time, especially while cooking for guests, there's just no better alternative. I bought it for a price of ₹375, and am extremely satisfied with it's performance.Note: The pictures are after use of 1.5 months. No rust, no dullness. Judge for yourself.
