Conclusion

• mechanism type;
• material of manufacture;
• cost.

In turn, universal shredders or vegetable cutters with adjustable functions are in great demand among chefs in 2022. The popularity of manual models is also noticeable, which is associated not only with the price of a vegetable cutter, but also with the amount of work performed. Since savory salads are more often made at home and on a small scale, using mechanical or conventional graters will be a better choice than buying an electric device. However, the main disadvantage of all manual models include:

• low productivity;
• the risk of injury during the process;
• and that the work requires physical effort.

Meanwhile, the final decision on which kitchen helper you need depends on the future owner's own preferences. And the above tips and tricks will help you decide which company offers the most attractive offer.
