Product Description
French Fry Cutter, Thin & Thick With 2 Stainless Steel Blades, 25 & 49 Hole.
Amazon.com Review
This lightweight cutter divides a potato into its french-fry essence in a jiffy. One blade creates up to 49 3/8-inch fries with a single lever-push. The other creates up to 25 half-inch fries. You'll get those numbers, however, only if you precisely shape a large potato to fit the bed. The bed's size is the cutter's only drawback. Even if you cut a large potato to fit the head, the fry length is at most 3-1/2 inches. That length, however, is ideal for carrot, cucumber, and zucchini batons to assemble a vegetable tray around a bagna cauda, an Italian dipping sauce of olive oil, butter, garlic, and anchovies. And such batons get you halfway to a pretty dice for a vegetable soup. Hand wash. --Fred Brack

Great for the price October 23, 2008

I had an old french fry cutter that I finally tossed because it was rusty (yuck). I got this one, and have to say that I am very happy with it. I am surprised that some people wrote that it takes quite a bit of force. I was expecting it to take some muscle, so I put my potato in there and gave it a hefty pull. The potato went through like butter and flew halfway across the counter. I didn't hardly use any force on the next spud, and it went through like butter again. This time it didn't fly away. I am a 55-year-old, 100 pound lady, not the incredible hulk! It would be nice if the base was just an inch longer but for the price, I will cut my potatoes in half. It still makes nice size fries. In fact, I prefer the shorter, stumpier fries. They look more homemade and fit on a plate better.

Hi,
This vegetable cutter is great for the small jobs around the kitchen. My primary use is for homemade fries made from fresh potatoes. I use the 1/2" head and am very pleased with the results. Works smoothly and with little effort, if I remember to cut up the product first so it doesn't jam against the edges of the cutter. Cleans easily and stores in a small space. Has become an indispensible tool in my kitchen.
 What a disappointment June 23, 2008

Worked great...until the 5th time when the blades started coming apart. Cheap too thin blades are the culprit. I would have spent a little more to get better blades and something that would last longer....not worth the money and should be pulled from Amazon!! this is a LEMON

Does not make fries well. Takes too much power to use. I'll probably never use it again.
Great deal :) June 7, 2008

When I saw this little gadget I was thinking it wouldn't last very long with the abuse I know I would put it through in my kitchen, but to my surprise this little darling is amazing. It was worth every penny I paid for it, and I plan on buying this for my friends and family. If you enjoy making fries or other items then buy this product and stay away from the high-end stuff because this little gem can keep up with the big boys :)
