Apparently if I gave this product five stars it would mean "I Love It" as opposed to just liking it. But it struck me before I started writing, that if my life ever became so mundane as to "love" ANY kitchen implement, I should probably seek counselling!That said, it does not detract from the fact that this wee beastie is definitely worth having. I'm sure that just like me, a lot of people out there have kitchen cupboards positively stacked with various gadgets and gizmos that promised at one stage or another, to make your time in the kitchen somehow more enjoyable or easier. Maybe even promised to make you eat healtheir?But that's where this stainless steel gizmo comes into its own.It seems quite short sighted for it to be marketed specifically as a "Potato Chipper". Yes I do use it for making great and reasonably healthy chips in my Actifry. But then it's also great for making uniform sized (and thus equally cooked) carrot batons to boil or steam, chopping onions, or at the other end of a meal, for use on any number of fresh fruits such as apples, pears, mango and even pineapple. It really does make food preparation quick and easy.It's also surprisingly well made and very sturdy to use. Initially I was amazed how much downward pressure you can apply, which means one push down and a whole spud is chipped. Granted it won't take really big spuds, but then why would anyone buy baking potatoes to make chips with? I did read one review that said, as with similar products, it didn't cut right through potatoes and that the reviewer had to pull the potatoes through manually to pull the raw chips out. However through trial and error (and a bit of close scrutiny), it DOESN'T tell you in the instructions that one side of the chipping blade (you get two, one for standard chips and one for thinner American type "fries") is quite a bit sharper than the other. So in effect, if you put the blade in back to front, which you can easily do until you get used to it, it's like using a blunt knife. So you end up trying to force the potato through with brute strength alone rather than with the assistance of the sharp side of the blade(s).So yes, I would definitely recommend this item, and not just for chips. All I would say, is just spend a few minutes when you unpack it, to make sure you're putting the sharp side of the blade(s) towards the potato. It's one of those exceedingly rare kitchen gadgets that HASN'T made it's way to the back of the kitchen cupboard, and what's more, it seems very unlikely that it will ever do so. Ahh bliss!

Bought this item in 2010.That's TEN years ago!At the time we had just bought a decent deep fat fryer and were producing fabulous homemade fish and chips in it. The trouble was it was so awkward and time consuming to keep clean that eventually we gave the deep fat fryer away, but kept the Masterclass chipper (and put it in a cupboard and didn't use it).Ten years later we just bought an air fryer - in fact we just bought two air fryers: a Tower one and a Ninja one. We were so impressed with the chips in the Tower machine that we bought another machine (the Ninja) so we could cook two things at the same time and they'd be ready together.Which brings me to the Masterclass chipper. It works great.We leave the skin on the potatoes and just wash and dry them with a tea towel and chop them using the bigger size cutter attachment. 800 grams of chipped potato takes about 25 minutes and they are excellent. Much nicer than oven chips or microwave chips.But I would definitely say freshly cut real potatoes are much, much better than frozen chips. And I can't offer an opinion on the Actifry either as we haven't used that make. Actfry have rotating paddles - all the others do not.The suction pad doesn't get used but that's not a problem.I don't find it flimsy and it's not too bad to clean and dry (it takes a couple of minutes to rinse and dry).There are other makes available and I haven't used them - they mightr be great, I don't know ... but this one is fine (it has gone up from £23 71p in December 2010 to £42 now - but that's just the way it is).

This is a fairly compact device for cutting a potato into a neat pile of chips.It comes with 2 cutters, one for standard sized chips and the other for the thinner french fries type.On opening the packaging, I saw there were two items in there, one was the device itself and the other was a small box that holds the other blade. This means it is probably a good idea to keep the original box to store it, otherwise the unused blade is likely to go astray. The box is about 10 inches by 4 so it does not take up much storage space.Instructions are minimal, consisting of a small paragraph on the packaging. It took a couple of minutes playing around with it to see how the cutting blade is removed,how the suction cup works and how the plastic pusher bit is removed for cleaning.It is an all steel construction and looks quite robust. I assume it is going to be rust proof.I placed the device on my kitchen top and applied the suction cup - I recommend you wet the surface to make it grip properly. Place a peeled smallish (2 inch long) potato in the device and press the lever down. I found it easier to kind of tap on the lever with my hand rather than do it in one macho press.You do need to be of average height in order to stand over it, at only 5 foot 1 I didn't really have the leverage to press it down easily, but my hubby had no problem.Overall, I will probably only use it to make french fries as to be honest, I can cut thicker chips by hand far faster than the time it takes me to set this up and clean it.

Lubricate the cutting grid beforehand each time.I have just taken delivery of one of these chipmakers from Amazon and frankly I was a bit dubious beforehand having read all the reviews that said a strong arm was needed. I happen to have very strong arm but I was worried that the device might not take this kind of treatment continuously so I immediately decided to test out my new purchase on a large `rooster' breed of potato.It went ok initially although it stopped firmly halfway through the first fairly large size spud (max dimensions of potato that will fit the machine naturally was used without cutting ends off or anything else like that to help) and required a second application of my strong arm to complete it.I was satisfied enough at this point to say `good purchase' but then I got a brainwave.I coated the cutting blades of the dicing grid with cooking oil(used a pastry brush to paint it on) and tried another large spud of maximum size again. This time it went through the same grid much, (very much) easier and made fine chips.I recommend this experience to other users and perhaps you would come back with the feedback of your experiments. Try coating the grid each time beforehand with the same oil that you cook with. Eureka ?I only tried one very large potato but that was enough to impress me.I look forward to hearing from you all out there after you have tried this.Austin

Positive: neater than it looks, 26cm x 12.5cm high x 9.5cm wide (8"x5"x3.5"): simple, quick, and easy to clean: two screens allow choice of either 9 x 9mm or 12 x 12mm chips. Transforms a spud into a set of beautifully neat chips at the pull of a lever.Negative: requires a strong arm: cannot produce long, thick chips.In theory, this machine could handle potatoes up to 9cm (3.5 inches) long. In practice, with this size of potato in place, the operating handle is vertical, so one has to start the process by pushing horizontally. Although rubberised feet and a large suction cup (7cm square) on the base give some grip, the force required sends the chipper across the work top,and requires more muscle than most women have. Tall men will find this chipper works well, but petite women may find it a struggle, unless they're prepared to peel small potatoes.Finally, if you like all your chips to be the same (well, almost the same) length, slice the ends off each potato before chipping.

I would have to say, I made the best french fries EVAH, with this little genius contraption.The only thing I miss is the possibility to change to a smaller potato chip, just one size below the smallest, but this isn't a problem, just a personal likening of mine...The suction cup function I didn't even know it had, so that is a very nice feature which made it much more stable and you could work fast and make french fries for 20 people within 5 minutes, if that was the case =PSeems like a very nice build quality and of course its stainless steel and very easy to change between the 2 french fries sizes that it can make...I am going to use this SO much and I can only recommend it!!!Takes all thehard time out of making french fries and does it elegantly and beautiful equally sized french fries!

We've had so many chips recently becuase of this machine.This gadget chucks out perfect fries in 1 of 2 sizes. It pretty much cleans itself, needing only a quick rinse after use. It's solid and nearly all metal construction. The worktop adhesion pad is helpful for chipping large tough spuds. I don't bother peeling the potato skins as it doesn't seem to matte; possibly more useful nourishment in the skins. Try different potatoes for completely uniform but different results (Rooster are good allrounders).Be like the French and dip in Mayo or American mustard.Check out utube for techniques to provide McD type fries. (olive oil is probably better for you than bovine tallow)!Overall a useful addition to the kitchen which gets regular use.Auntie Marie will have one for her Christmas present (Shush..)

It didnt occur to me that when my daughter got married and left home I would have to buy all my kitchen implements all over again! My Master class potato (and the rest) chipper is such a time saver, I found that helping my daughter to prepare the veg for her lasagne was a real mammoth chore. I came straight to Amazon and purchased a chipper for her, now preparation is a breeze.Just cut your carrots into rings and put them through the chopping screen, Large one for stews etc, small one for lasagne etc.Very strong item, having bought various other such veg chippers, alligator, etc all broke in no time, flimsy screens the lot of them, this one really takes some hammer, but having said that, be wise,cut slimmer so less stress.:0)

This is a good product. Strong well made easy to rinse and dismantle. It took me a few goes to figure out how it went together and a few incidents of the cutting square popping out. Follow instructions for inserting cutting square with lip facing in towards the handle. Then there is a locking mechanism that holds the blade in place (this was what I had overlooked at first) Also dont waste time pulling out chips still stuck in blade, just keep putting in potatoes and each new one pushes out previous one.It makes lovely even chips. I'm v pleased with it apart from lack of clear instructions.Maris Piper potatoes work v well for chip making.A great product to use in conjunction with TefalActifryer.

used both 6mm and 9mm blades and slices potatoes in one press no problem very stirdy. the blades are very sharp i have used them many times and doesnt disappoint. very easy to clean and is stainless steel. no small areas that need detailed cleaning. the suction can be used on worktops sinks and other flat surfaces for a tight grip that doesnt allow it to move or slide despite wet surfaces. potato holding bay is not small that only some potato sizes can only be used. would recomend.

I cannot tell you how much easier this has made my life! I know it's only a potato chipper but it saves so much time cutting and slicing thin chips (my husband only likes thin chips)! Peel the potato first and a little bit of oil sprayed onto the metal cutters helps it through! The suction cup on the bottom needs you to hold it down at the same end to ensure it works. Brilliant product, sturdy and well made... I'm buying my mother in law one for Xmas xx

This arrived promptly and packaged well. Easy to assemble and wash. This is a very good device for chipping potatoes, little effort required.After a few weeks one of the blades within the grid broke and i emailed customer service and explained the problem, i received a replacement grid by return post. Their customer service is outstanding and their products are good, I will be doing business with them again. Thank you.

This is a stainless steel product (bought to compliment a Philips Air Fryer) and we are not disappointed. It is large enough to take larger potatoes and chips them easily. Has two sets of blades, one for chips and one for smaller French fries. When new might need a very slight coating of olive oil to assist the larger potatoes through the chipper but it has a large handle to aid the chipping actionForth Coaster

I've used the larger of the two grates provided a LOT, and it's brilliant.However, the smaller one, for making fries, broke on the first time I tried to use it.I can't see any reason the small one broke so easily, just that it was a bad one off the production line, whereas the other happened not to be.I'd recommend this, for the many many good chips it's given me.

I purchased this product because I was fed up of oven chips.The chipper is robustly made and all parts a stainless steal,so no corrosion,and easily cleaned.On first use i found it quite hard to push the potato through,the reason being i used quite large potatoes to make big chips.Once i got used to it I found it a great compliment to the kitchen utensils.
