Nice buy!

I've been on the lookout for something bigger than a coffee grinder and smaller than a food processor.

Has anyone here ever bought the Slap-Chop off the infomercial? Actually looks pretty good.

Slap Chop is about ?10 delivered on Amazon. It does look good but would probably end up at the back of the cupboard gathering dust. I bought a similar device a few years ago and although it worked well, the hassle of cleaning it meant we almost always just used a knife instead. IMO stuff on infomercials always look brilliant but always underwhelm when they arrive.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried this one though.
