Can anyone tell me what the differences are? I had a guest at a show last week ask me that. I have never seen the old chopper so I couldn't answer the question.

Thanks

There is a BIG difference between the old and the new! The old one is not as round,or as sleek looking. It has, a spring running up from the cup to the top of the plunger, has a plastic guard that fits onto the blades, that can be a real pain in the hinny to get on sometimes. The part that you push is a white disc about the size of a half dollar, and flat. So when you have a lot of chopping to do, or have a firmer item to chop, it can start hurting the palm of your hand. Where as the new choppers plunger has a rounded, what I tell my guests, a "hand friendly" push top.

My old one works just fine, but PC did a great job redesigning it to be more people friendly!

The main difference between the old chopper and the new chopper is the design and functionality. Here are some specific differences:1. Blades: The old chopper has two stainless steel blades, while the new chopper has three stainless steel blades. This allows for more efficient and faster chopping.2. Lid: The lid of the old chopper is clear, while the new chopper has a solid, opaque lid. This allows for better visibility of the chopping process in the old chopper.3. Capacity: The old chopper has a capacity of 1.5 cups, while the new chopper has a larger capacity of 3 cups. This means you can chop more ingredients at once in the new chopper.4. Base: The base of the old chopper is made of plastic, while the new chopper has a sturdier metal base. This makes the new chopper more durable and long-lasting.5. Handle: The handle of the old chopper is small and placed on the side, while the new chopper has a larger handle that is placed on top. This allows for a better grip and easier use of the new chopper.6. Cleaning: The old chopper can be disassembled for easy cleaning, while the new chopper has a one-piece design that is easier to clean and maintain.7. Accessories: The new chopper comes with a scraper attachment that helps to scrape food off the sides while chopping, something that the old chopper does not have.Overall, the new chopper has improved design and functionality compared to the old chopper, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
