Leifheit Potato Chipper, Chips Cutter, French Fries Cutter, Leifheit Chipper, 2 chip sizes 10 and 12 cm, Soft Touch Handle for Easier Chipping, Potato Chipper

German engineering at its finest. I noticed a couple of other reviewers marking this cutter down, one saying it only had 1 cutter, I thought this too, expecting it to be in the box, but seconds later, turning the product over I saw the other one was slotted in the base, (see picture) another saying the chips are bent. Yes, they are, but this is due to the curve on the machine. And I think technically, slightly curved chips can cook better, as less likely to stick together. You demand straight chips, you need to buy pretty much any other machine. If you want to present fries in a cup holder like save avant-garde bistro curved chips will have that aesthetic lean over, a flower like explosion, the fast food box effect can be done with other ones. Caution. I blame nobody but myself and my own carelessness... the blades are SHARP, cut fingers twice now. One trying to pull out a bit of spud, and again today just before taking the photo. My fault entirely, and cutting things are no good when they are blunt. These are sharp so is excellent for purpose. Takes bigger tatties than other machines. Tip. Although it went through Maris Pipers easily straight off, giving harder potatoes a bit of a boil first will also help those blades go through like butter. I used the 12mm blades, and if had to be picky, I would have probably preferred the 2nd blade to be 3mm wider than the 2mm 10 supplied (in the base) as we also like chunky chips sometimes. Definitely recommend though.

I ordered this chipper after returning a fully stainless steel one. It was about ten pounds (I got it for about 24 pounds) more expensive than the one it replaced but far better value for money. The design itself is excellent and it is very easy to use, There are two sizes of lattice - the one which isn't being used can be stored on the underside of the chipper. Mine did not come with any instructions, but because of the design the lattice can only be inserted one way and the plastic bit which pushes the chips through is straightforward enough in that it just twists an eighth turn and comes off. The only points to mention are that the chips it cuts will be very slightly curved and I did find the lack of instructions meant I spent a couple of minutes working out how to change between lattices but it was pretty logical. Mine has a dishwasher safe symbol on it so I presume it goes through the dishwashes ok, but I can't confirm this personally. In summary, it's well designed, reliable and straightforward to use - very very pleased with it.

As much as I'd like to give this product a 5 star review I'm afraid I won't. The reason I am not giving it a 5 is because although it is such a handy and easy to use / clean kitchen tool, vegetables stuck and you have to put more vegetables in the back to push the front ones forward in order for them to be chopped up. The last remaining piece of veg you will have to remove it with a knife or a spoon but in a way that you will not damage the chip cutter which is not that easy because it does really get stuck in between the blades....

Why did you choose this product over others?: I have used this and I find it very good they cut chips nicely as I brought a different one and that font don’t do what I want but this do so I love it easy to use you can change the blades etc

One of the metal blades has come out of the chipping grid. So it doesn’t have the same size chips. I do not use it now, have gone back to cutting with a knife.

This is by far the best chipper I have come across. Plastic, easily cleaned, blade stays sharp, sturdy enough to handle any potato. Definitely recommended

I like the idea of applying the load in an arc rather than the horizontal load of other makes. Well made and easy to operate and at a reasonable price. Would recommend.

Not bad, although I scored it low, as if you like long chips as I do, the potato needs butchering to fit and then the longest chip you get isn't that long. Such a shame as it is well made. Currently haven't used it a lot and am waiting for the blades to bend or break which was common with my last chipper, although granted that was a different make.
