I like the idea of this chopper but there is no way to clean behind the disk that mounts the blade. When you press down on the handle, the blade is lowered and rotated via a spring in the handle, and this action widens the gap behind the disk. So it looks very easy for food to become trapped back there and accumulate inside the handle. So I can't recommend this product. If they only made the blade and spring detachable it would be fine. Too bad.
