Electric multi-cutter "Black + Decker MultiPREP Slice 'N Dice"

I have long wanted to buy something similar - a vegetable cutter with all the basic functions: grater, slices, straws, julienne and cubes, cutting vegetables directly into the dishes for cooking. And then she appeared. Unfortunately, so far only in the Western Hemisphere and with a voltage of 110 V (so if you buy, take care of purchasing a step-down transformer), but there is not the slightest doubt that this will soon appear for our relatives 220.
It looks quite stylish, not bulky, everything is well thought out - this applies both to the device itself and to the convenient box for storing accessories.





Characteristics: 120 V, 60 Hz, 150 W. Height with a cover 34 cm, without it - 23 cm. Diameter at the bottom 15 cm, the largest width (including the "spout") at the top - 23 cm. Can be washed in a dishwasher.
The top drive cage is easily detached from the base:



The wire is hidden in the bottom. It has strong suction cups on it.



All accessories are compactly located in a convenient storage box.



The discs look like this: a slicer disc (the thickness of the slices can be smoothly adjusted from 1 to 5 mm), a double-sided grater disc, a double-sided straw disc - 3 mm and 6 mm, and a cube disc - 8 mm.



The instructions are quite detailed (there are even two recipes - but why?)


And finally, in action. Naturally, first of all I wanted to test the toy on solid vegetables, and I started the sazu with carrot cubes.





Then I decided, filming the video, to "annoy" the potatoes. I didn’t even have time to make a detailed shooting, as it all ended.


And although I was a little upset that the inlet for vegetables seemed to me not large enough - 7 cm x 4.5 cm (the Bosch cube has more) and the large potatoes had to be cut in half,

the straw turned out to be quite decent:

When I tried the julienne nozzle, I found that if you barely press on it, the result is perfect for potato pancakes. But at first I was also saddened by the lack of a potato grater.
These are potato cubes. You can see that I am not making any effort at all:


And finally, with a sinking heart, I took raw beets. I didn't specially wash the bowl after the potatoes - all the same, everything will mix in the vinaigrette. And again, notice that I practically do not press on the beets - so, I just direct:



Summary - I am very pleased with the purchase. Highly. But - for now. Let's check with time.

Thanks for your review! I will subscribe to the topic, because it is precisely such a grater that I lack on the farm. I hate to rub food: I always cut myself, I disfigure my hands, and kevlar gloves are always big, godlessly and uncomfortable. So, for me, the light of hope dawned on comfortable rubbing on a compact device.

That's right, Nastya, subscribe, we will write here about similar ones for sale here. And cutting yourself here, if you follow the rules of use, is almost impossible: holes for fingers are made in each disc, and you don't have to take on the sharpened areas

[dopleta]

dopleta, And the grater looks like a double-sided one, too, if you turn it over: smaller / larger?

[Sofita]

Sofita, yes, the grater is also double-sided, I'll add it now.

Good device! My relative is very happy with it! I look forward to 220. I even wanted to “break down” and accept 110 as a gift, but common sense still stopped me.
Larisa, thanks for the report!

[dopleta]

dopleta, Larissa! Most importantly, I congratulate you on a beautiful and seemingly comfortable little girl! And I envy you in an amicable way, because I can't use 110 volts at home. We'll have to wait for 220 volts, again, if it doesn't get spoiled like Bella. A container or box for discs is just wonderful!
Please tell me how impressed you are by the very plastic it is made of? I don’t know how to ask correctly, but I’m sure that you will understand me. Is the plastic beautiful, high quality? Previously, good imports had "good" plastic, but many Chinese now have "bad". I don’t know how to express my idea more accurately. And then in the past videos, where also the red and blue showed it was the plastic that caused me some kind of wrong feeling.
And the second thing. The very design of the device. Are there any areas in it that can become fragile, break with a little careless handling, or something. After all, they wrote about Bullet that the locks with which you fasten the upper part to the lower part, etc., can break. I have a Bullet that has not yet been tested. I bought it and I'm waiting for something and thinking.
Maybe I'm waiting for this new one?
And the last thing. You will surely follow this. Other grids for cubes may appear as spare parts, replaceable, for a different number of mm Please whistle in the subject!
Congratulations again! Share your successes with us. There will be time, please remove videos about cutting on different graters. In particular, about potato pancakes.



But this wick in the top in the middle is black not fragile? And what is its function?

I have a similar food processor from Black + Decker with a wider neck. I took it for cubes, but the cubes are too large for me. Cool cabbage shreds. Plus unkillable.

[Bozhedarka]

Bozhedarka, but can you show it or give a link to it? How long ago did you buy it?

[Lena]

Thank you, Lena ! And to all who congratulated in a personal - thanks! For the first and second questions, you already Bozhedarka answered - I think it is unlikely that the same manufacturer will use different plastics on different models of the same device. By the way, Bozhedarka, but do not write, what is your model? Before I came across cubes only from other manufacturers, with grinding inside the bowl and with a price several times higher. My Bosch cube with a blender, a lot of disks and a large number of functions cost much less. About cubes. Indeed, either there will be, or already there is a lattice with smaller cubes, because both on the current insert and on the package the size of the cubes is 8 mm, and in the instructions



which corresponds to 6 mm (funny: the first letter was cut off in the photo, and instead of "use", it turned out to be "praise your multiprocessor). But I haven't asked this question yet, 8 - I'm quite happy with it. And about the" wick ". This is just a lever , which smoothly adjusts the thickness of slicing from 1 to 5 mm with a slicer disc, therefore it matches this disc in color:



Below, at its base, an adjustment scale is visible (I tried to avoid glare, but I failed):

But this wick in the top in the middle is black not fragile? And what is its function?

in my harvester, this wick adjusts the thickness of the slices.



Oh, while I was typing, Larissa answered ...

but won't you write what model you have?

This one

🔗

the box is gone for a long time, so I can't check what size is written, but the cubes are thick, I use a manual dicer the old fashioned way, where the cube corresponds to the size of a pea.
By the way, on Amazon the price is too high, I took this harvester three years ago for 89 dollars, I remember very well, because I bought it for myself and my friends.

1/4 in x1 / 4 in = 6.35mm
But, I was not too lazy, I found a ruler and measured a cube - 8mm!



manual dicer only 5 mm

I would give such a multi-cutter to my mother-in-law with pleasure. Just what you need. Boom wait for execution for 220V.

Hello everyone who is expecting and sympathetic! Black & Decker is a reliable company with an excellent combination of price and quality. I'll also follow the topic.

[dopleta]

dopleta, Larissa! Bozhedarka ! Girls! Thank you! Want!
Only it does not inspire hope that the one that Bozhedarka had released three years ago, but still does not have it at 220 volts (or I just didn’t see it, I don’t know).
Bozhedarka! Does he perform the same functions as Larisin? Or are there any differences?



OgneLo, Marina! Bozhedarkin has 800 watts, and Larisin has 150 watts? Explain to me, please, where am I wrong?

Or are there any differences?

For me, an important difference is that Bozhedarkin crumbles not into a dish, but into a bowl, that is, at a time you can crumble no more than its volume, then disassemble and empty it. And with this you can cut any unlimited volume. I already have a Bosch with a bowl. By the way, Lena, if you are considering a similar option, with a bowl, why don't you look at Bosch? It also has more functions. And I did not feel a lack of power at all, it can be seen from the rollers - it cuts easily and in seconds.

The one that crumbles into dishes, I like more. This is unambiguous. I do not like to disassemble everything during cooking. And I always do something a lot, I don't cook one by one.
And the power is confusing, yes. The whole video is shaking. The aunts keep him on the video unnoticed. But I would buy it anyway right now, if it were 220 volts.

The whole video is shaking.

I have? Shaking? Can't you see that I'm not even pressing with two fingers, but just holding the piston?

[dopleta]

dopleta, no, Larissa! I wrote that the aunts are holding back. The first video in the topic is gravity for 15 minutes.

Yes, I saw, I was also interested to check. I think their surface was not smooth, and the machine was not attached with suction cups. It didn’t move on my countertop. Only the piston on the beets bounced when I didn't press it at all. With the other hand, as you know, she did not hold anything, since she was taking off.

[Larissa]

Larissa, congratulations on purchasing the coveted assistant! and we will wait for it to appear at 220. It would be nice from a decent manufacturer. Otherwise they will take the idea and save materials ...

In short, I want it already. You, Larissa, there in this country already has your own person. Please tell them that I already need 220 volts.

Eh, where is our Vadim Solunin with his "Brand", who, after my story about the smokehouse, immediately organized its production in Russia (or rather, in China for Russia)? That would be who quickly hurry up!

[dopleta]

dopleta, Larisa, I was told that there are limitations in continuous work in time. Have you written anything about this in the manual for the device? My instructions were thrown away immediately.

I'm going to make a vinaigrette, I immediately felt the lack of a device with the ability to cut into cubes.

Going to make vinaigrette

So today I have a vinaigrette and a salad on the menu. And I haven't seen the time limits yet, but I didn't read the instructions very carefully. In the evening I will study thoroughly, now I'm not at home.

instructions for the device

The manual is available for download on the device page (Use and Care Manuals)

[Larissa]

Larissa, Congratulations on your cool assistant. Thanks for your review. I'll also sit with the girls to wait for this at 220, I really really want it

[OgneLo]

OgneLo, Marina! Let me ask the same question a second time. Larissa's device has 150 watts, another device (FP6010) has 800 watts
I understand that you yourself did not use either one or the other. But you can say something about this. Will they definitely differ significantly from each other in power, in their work? What then could be the practical differences? I know that somewhere the manufacturer writes only the maximum power, but still. You understand this. Please tell me your opinion.

[Masha Ivanova]

Masha IvanovaWhen I was choosing a new food processor, more powerful, more reliable, just then I saw that Black + Decker also comes with cubes. I can say that it stands on the surface like a glove, does not stagger. It is also convenient for me for grinding salsa and adjika sauces with a lot of nuts, so thick that you can hardly crank it with a spoon, the motor does not even heat up. Has two bowls, one small and the other large.

But I also additionally have a ninja harvester, which has an attachment for cutting salads outside, it is already more powerful than Black + Decker, a 1500 watt motor 🔗

If I didn't have these combines, I would buy the Black + Decker MultiPREP Slice 'N Dice. The firm is reliable.



although I have a manual multi-cut

🔗

on 114 watts, I have it for 16 years, cuts everything from cheeses, various vegetable chips, to a bucket of potatoes for potato pancakes in five minutes. Also unkillable. So for a salad, 150 watts is not so bad. This is not a kneader.



to give an idea of ​​how much my equipment has to work, I will say that for a family of nine people, now for seven, but still))))

can you say something about this

these watts are needed only for the operation of the cutter knife in the bowl, for shredding this is absolutely not necessary.

[Bozhedarka]

Bozhedarka, thank you very much! There are a bunch of different ones, more and more every day. And the choice is getting harder and harder. Many are really very good. And in each, nevertheless, some function, just very necessary, is clearly lacking. Probably, this is the idea of ​​the manufacturer. Simply, given the fact that it is more difficult for those living in Russia to buy something that is not for sale in Russia, then change it immediately, if they don’t like it (as is often the case abroad), then they want to choose more or less optimally. Therefore, we are asking you so thoroughly. Thank you very much for your answers!
This clarifies a lot.



OgneLo, Marina! Thank you! Such a short answer, and everything becomes clear! Therefore, I was waiting for your answer.

Simply, given the fact that it is more difficult for those living in Russia to buy something that is not for sale in Russia, then change it immediately, if they don’t like it (as is often the case abroad), then they want to choose more or less optimally.

one hundred% !!!! When I bought a new Bosch dough mixer for $ 399 wild for me and he began to jump on the table, I collected everything in a box and took it to the store. But buy like this, wait and it is not yet known what surprises await.

[Olya]

I was told that there are limitations in continuous work by time

Olya, I don’t know, maybe I’m very careless. I looked through the instructions twice, looked through all the sections - I did not find this prohibition. Do you want me to take all 16 pages here? Maybe there is someone more big-eyed?

[dopleta]

dopleta, thanks, I'll study it when I get it. Still they sent it to me ... I will use it in Crimea. My husband seems to have picked up a small transformer for the instrument.
Do you feel disappointment from him yet?

Not at all. I look forward to your impressions!

I brought my little working report!
I photographed in the process, did not try, because the light is correct and I have no place for beautiful photos in the country.
Cutting into cubes into a solid five - even, good size, everything turned out so correct in seconds. Cuts great and doesn't bounce around the table!



The onion for meat in French is also well cut.



The straws were also quite successful. Fast, no need to push. With this grater, the device was slightly balanced, but not critical.



It was alarming that the juice and beet particles fall under the bowl.





Overall, this is what I was missing. I will actively use it at the Crimean dacha, my husband picked up a small adapter.
Disassembled and assembled, washed, carried quickly. Looks very nice. How long it will last in connection with the ingress of the liquid released during rubbing is difficult to say. But while I'm happy with the gift!
Cubes just delighted!
Chop the onion into even cubes. But for that I have a rope chopper and a Ninja.

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, tell me, what kind of chopper with a rope do you have and are you satisfied with it? How fine does it grind if you're going to use it instead of a cube grinder?

for this i have a chopper with a string

Such, Olya?

But he doesn't cut even cubes.

[Masha Ivanova]

Masha Ivanova, I have three pieces of ropes in different rooms. I'll get home, look at the company, now I can lie - I remember that he was white and green. I am very pleased with them.
Chops evenly, such onions are great for soups and sauces.



dopleta, Larisa, it is clear that even cubes, especially from onions, cannot be obtained in such grinders. I meant the evenness of the slicing.

In Decker, this is how the bow turned out.





It is likely that I need to get used to chopping onions in this device. I only tested it and removed it once.

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, okay, thanks, I'll wait. It just seemed to me that all these, with strings, are ideally designed to turn onions into mush.And if you try to grind the onion into small pieces, pulling this string little by little, the result is unpredictable. Today I pulled harder, the pieces turned out to be smaller, tomorrow weaker and the pieces will be larger. I was wrong?

[Masha Ivanova]

Masha Ivanova, there is such a thing, but such a cut is suitable for soup or pies with meat-cabbage. I got used to grinding uniformly enough. Even in Ninza, it chops well with knives, in Thermomix, MayKuk.
