Chip Cutter Machine, Sopito Professional Stainless Steel Potato Chipper for French Fries Cutters with 1/2 Inch Blades for Home and Commercial Use

I bought the 2 blade version 1/2 & 3/8th inch, both make perfect chips. So easy to use and clean, cuts chips perfectly, I found that it does not stick very well to my work surface, but that could be due to it being made from textured Dekton, but still works great, I just have to hold it in place with one hand and pull the handle with the other. I would highly recommend this well built, hight quality sturdy product.

Read all the reviews .had already purchased and tried some smaller versions machines by diffrent manufactures which either broke first time or too hard to use unless you squared the potatoes and cut them in half first ,which seemed to stupid .It arrived not as heavy as expected .which was a good thing ,the bolts although they are small are stainless steel .so they are very strong compared with a normal bolt .once assembled gave it a try .it started to move on work bench ,but on further examination the sucker had a light oil filament on it .once this was cleaned it stuck down to work bench no problem.with the long handle if you set it up so you are pulling the handle towards you .it works a dream .not so if you set it the other way and are pushing handle .or set it up so you pulling handle left to right.so if you think about it and set it up so your pulling handle towards you you working with gravity and the laws of physics very easy to use.I cleaned it under running water from tap.the black plastic finger mechanism is easy to remove by simply lifting a clip up and it’s out ,wash it then pop it back in .should you wish to change the cutting head that’s another matter ,it takes ages and needs all lining up a few times.that said don’t think it’s something you would be changing over on a regular basis though ..well worth the money .it feels strong and robust like it will last fir a very long time ,wished we had purchased it sooner

The principal of this Sopito cutter is great, and it does work. Setting it up is not to bad and the "necessary" extension arm is good for storage.In use, the suction cap that sticks it to a clean dry smooth work surface top is not great, it moves and with the six large potatoes I cut , the suction cap on the base did not keep the cutter in place and it kept slipping. Ideally you need to have a surface below waste height like a robust coffee table as the pressure needed to chip the potato is a fair amount. The blades of the cutter are stated to be sharp, the one I purchased does the job but the amount of pressure I had to use was fairly remarkable. I had it set up on my kitchen work surface and I found it difficult to operate properly both with pressure and it moving when applying it.Do not put a whole large potato into this cutter. Cut both the ends of the potato then cut it in half.Cleaning it.You need to dismantle the cutting blade (4 wing nuts and washers) and rinse and dry .The stainless steel sides, one of them becomes dislodged when you remove the cutting blade and needs practise to reassemble it accurately as it only fits in one way.The pusher comes out by lifting a little leaver and it can be washed and dried before replacing, again a little practise required.. A wet cloth to wipe over the base plate and remaining side plates then dry with kitchen roll.Altogether a little finicky but necessary. I would say it is probably worth the money for the robust build and needs a little practise and care when using it.

I really love this cutter.It is made out of large cast aluminium parts and stainless steel.I was particularly pleased to see that the sliding pusher-plate was fitted with maintenance-free self-lubricating igus™️ style plastic bushes.I felt that perhaps Nyloc nuts would have been a better option for the fasteners on the pivot points and the non-removable ends of the guide shafts, but that is a personal preference. (Never been much of a fan of spring washers)The only faults I found with the device was the sharp edges that were left on the guide plates (inside the hooked ends) and on the square section stainless end plate that sits behind the cutting block.Leaving these pressed edges sharp caused a nasty surprise when cleaning the cutter body before the first use.A couple of minutes with a flat needle file sorted this out, but for this kind of money I feel it should not have been necessary.They obviously know about the edges on the guide plates as they had removed all of them except for inside the second bend that forms the hook.For the sharp edges and the bad suction pad I would like to remove half a star, but as Amazon only allows whole stars, I’m going to leave it as 5/5.Ideally this would be 9/10.In defence of the sucker, it seems it’s not really there to hold it down while chipping the potatoes, it’s more there to stop it scooting around the place during use.Oh, and if you do decide to cut sweet potatoes in it - it does work!Follow the instructions on the manufacturers website where it tells you to heat up the sweet potatoes in a microwave before cutting. (I think some folks may have missed this - take a look at the video on the electric version to see)All in all, the best chipper I’ve ever seen.All the plastic ones I’ve used have broken within a few dozen uses.That, and you were continuing cutting the blasted potatoes into chunks just so they’d fit their tiny maws.No such trouble with this beast!!It’s not the easiest of devices to use, especially on the bigger tatties, but there is a big lever that helps with this.There’s also little chance you are going to break it as it’s not made of plastic!I love it. I’m sure you will too.

I bought a cheap £20 Chinese chip cutter which was difficult to clean, difficult to use, only took small spuds, suction rarely worked and the cutter fell apart after 3 months. I was glad to see the back of it.Then I bought the Sopito which is way better in every respect, it is very easy to clean, very easy to use, takes large spuds, suction is great and the cutter looks indestructible. Well worth paying extra to get a quality product.
