For those of you who don't know what a Slap Chop is, watch this:

When I told BeserkerCatSplat that I finally gave in and ordered a Slap Chop, he demanded that I write a review on it. Given that there are tons of Slap Chop reviews on the Internet already, it would be pretty redunant for me to do yet another one.
What I noticed about the reviews, however, is that they're all text-based. Sure, there are video reviews on YouTube, but none of them show the Slap Chop close up, and they just focus on its performance rather than the actual build. Thus, I figured I would take a bunch of close-up photos for you to see the product in detail - both inside and outside.

So I will be using the Slap Chop mainly for making my sandwich spread, which includes sliced celery. It's pretty time-consuming to be slicing really thin pieces, so I wanted to see whether dicing it with the Slap Chop would work just as well. I did three tests, each one with an increasing number of slaps. I used one piece of celery for each one:
Here's what the celery looks like with 6 slaps:
12 slaps:
and 18 slaps:
Personally, I found 18 slaps to be the right amount for the size of the celery bits I wanted. I had to slap the Slap Chop quite hard so it cuts properly. Good for venting out anger, I guess.
As expected, bits of celery got stuck in the blade and around the plastic lid:
I decided to do a fourth test with two sticks of celery instead of one, and rapidly chop it with the Slap Chop, just to see what kind of result I would get. I think I did about 30 slaps before my palm gave in:
As you can see, the celery is almost like a puree. Perfect for making salsa.
Cleaning the Slap Chop is definitely really easy to do, as it - quoting Vince - pops open like a butterfly. Just rinse it with water and everything comes right off.
