Befano French Fry Cutter, Stainless Steel Potato Cutter with 1/2 Inch and 3/8 Inch Blades, (Manual Cutter, 1/2'' & 3/8'' Blade)

This thing works fantastic! It's a life changing kitchen utensil! Highly recommend it. No more cutting fries with a knife.

Very pleased with the quality and performance.Would buy again.

I bought the version with the 1/4" and 1/2" blades. The 1/2" worked wonderful but the 1/4" didn't work at all. I'm pretty upset the 1/4" didn't work as we prefer thinner fries like McDonald's. I wish I would've bought the machine and blades separate so I could return what I cannot use.5 star for 1/2"0 star for 1/4"3 overall5+ for the sellerUpdate: After writing this review, the seller was very kind in providing an amicable refund solution, unexpectedly. I didn't ask for it. Wonderful to work with!Another update on the fries themselves. While I wanted thinner fries, they are still pretty good thick. I'm going to give it a try with some softer veggies and perhaps peeling potatoes before attempting the 1/4" next time.

Can cut two sizes and very easy to change blades. Perfect for making healthy friesz

Very different performance between the 1/4” and 1/2” blades.The 1/2” blade aligns fine with the push-block and cuts PEELED potatoes fine. Forget cutting potatoes with skins.The 1/4” blade (which is my preference for fries) was extremely difficult to push peeled potatoes through. The potato would get stuck in the blade, and the push-block would come loose from the handle. I had to constantly reinstall the push-block as every time I would try to push a potato, it would become dislodged. Every potato (I tried about 15-20) became lodged in the blade, and I had to pull the potato out. This is partly due to the plastic push-block not aligning with the blade. No matter how I tried to get the push-block to align with the blade, there was always a misalignment. At this time, I should mention I’m a mechanical engineer and could not get this to properly align / work. Because of the misalignment, the blade would shave lots of black plastic pieces from the push-block onto my potatoes.Additionally, I would push the potato so hard with the push-block that part of the potato would get stuck in the push-block (and the blade). I would have to clean the push-block for each potato using a knife to go through each channel.Not only that, if the mounting surface becomes wet, which it will when cutting potatoes, the suction cups will slip making this equipment even more difficult to use.I spent more time fighting with this equipment than I would have cutting the potatoes myself. It did not save time; it did not fulfill its purpose.I cannot express my extreme disappointment. I kept trying, hoping I could get it to work. But all I did was make more plastic chips.I had to thoroughly wash and soak the potatoes to remove all of the plastic chips.I found another potato cutter that used a metal push-block with smaller circles to fit into larger, square blade holes. The alignment works well and it is more sturdy with suction cups double the size as this unit. It was also half the price. Usually you get what you pay for, but not in this case.Find a better product.

I love this thing! I'm worried that the blade gets dull after less than 10 uses

It was everything that it said pricing was good easy to clean

this is poorly designed, when you load a potato & pull on the handle, the machine tilts forward.someone had the idea to install a stabilizer grip to counter the tilt, BUT THEY INSTALLED IT ON THE WRONG END. a stabilizer arm on the front of the machine doesnt help at all, actually, it increases the tilting towards the front.the arm should be on the back where the hinge is, to prevent any rear lift.the suction cups dont really help with the tilt, but they do help a bit with lateral motion.theres also lots of sharp edges on the body of the machine (not just the blades), definitely not for kids or clumsy people.instructions say to microwave sweet potatoes for 30 seconds before cutting, but thats false.i had to microwave even a basic russett potato for about 5 minutes before the machine would cut it, & even then it was difficult.the only redeeming quality of this is that pretty much all the other competing fry cutters in the price range are worse designs. if someone redesigns this one with the handle on the rear, theyll corner the market.
