A manual press chopper may suit repeated small chopping jobs. Decide whether its catcher cup is worth the extra parts to clean and store.

A little onion for dinner. Nuts for brownies. If those small chopping jobs keep coming up, the OXO Good Grips Chopper offers a manual press-and-catch approach. It is worth considering only if that routine appeals to you more than the knife and cutting board you already own.

Keep your knife and board if they already do the job comfortably. A dedicated chopper adds parts to wash and another tool to store. It does not need a place in every kitchen.

What the press actually does

OXO says the stainless steel blade rotates with each press of the knob. The clear catcher holds the food underneath. This is the White model 11339900, sold as one chopper with its cup, not an electric processor or a pull-cord chopper.

Onions and nuts are among the uses OXO lists. Think about the ingredients you repeatedly chop, rather than buying for an occasional recipe. The onion photo shows pieces already inside the cup; do not assume a whole ingredient will fit or that this removes every knife-and-board step.

Keep the job small

Assembled OXO Chopper showing the clear cup and its red max line. — The clear catcher has a marked fill limit. Measurement markings are not a promise of usable chopping capacity.

The cup has measurement markings and a visible max line. Those markings should not be read as a guaranteed working capacity. If your main job is a large batch of vegetables, repeated loading and emptying would work against the reason to add this tool.

Choose it for the pressing workflow, not a promise of faster prep, uniform dice or tear-free onions. We have not tested those outcomes.

The catcher changes the transfer step

The removable cup gives the chopped food a place to collect and a vessel to tip from. That is the useful detail in this photo, rather than the elaborate salad. If moving food from your existing board is already easy, the cup alone may not justify another purchase.

Count the cleanup before you buy

OXO Chopper cup, base, body, blade cartridge and clear insert separated. — The pieces you will need to clean, dry and put away.

OXO describes the chopper as dishwasher safe and designed to come apart for cleaning. Even so, there are separate pieces to clean, dry and reassemble. Compare that with your current cleanup, and decide where the assembled tool would live.

OXO Chopper body separated from its stainless steel blade cartridge. — The removable blade is still a sharp component to handle carefully.

The blade is sharp. Follow the instructions supplied with this model for assembly, use and cleaning, and keep fingers away from the cutting edges. A covered chopping action does not make blade handling risk-free.

Buy for a recurring chore, or skip it

Consider it: You regularly chop small amounts of ingredients such as onion or nuts, want a manual pressing action, and accept the extra cleanup.
Skip it: Your knife and board already work well, storage is tight, or you mostly prep large batches.
