Orpat Express 250-Watt Chopper (Purple) & Orpat HHB-100E 250-Watt Hand Blender (White)

Like it

I was looking for something to chop vegetables on a fly. Chopping via knife was time consuming & using some fix slider type or rope pull type mechanical choopers was unreliable. Searching a bit, i landed upon this category of motorised choppers.
Having gone through a lot of similar types, i finally settled on orpat one & it turned out good.

In short, its small & handy yet effective chopper with good ergonomic design. Using it for more than 3 months & it never disappoointed in the very task it is made for.

1. Proprietary plastic blades. Once blunt or broken, whole system is useless. One gets item for long term usage, but this problem limits its lifetime.
2. High gap below blades, renders using device for small quantities close to impossible
3. Chopper blade could have been 4 blade design, for further effective chopping
4. Plastic propreitary gears for engagement of blade & motor. Once broken, will be close to useless
5. Spare parts availability may be an issue due to above reasons.

FINAL VEDICT:

So finally, if on low budget & looking for good quality effective chopper, you can get this one without any second thought. Just use it wisely & dont overload it, as plastic construction of gears & blades though looks solid & durable, may not withstand it.

Rest for normal usage, it wont ever disappoint you. Its used at my place on daily basis for chopping vegetables. Its like minutes turned into seconds. A kitchen person would love this product, as it saves a lot of efforts.

If budget can be extended, you can get some model with 4 blade design only to be able to better chop low quantity of items inside. Rest Orpat one is good enough.

Its a nice product. I bought it to speed up kitchen preparation time for my wife.
Pros –
It really saves your time in those rush hours. Cuts your vegetables nicely. You may not like the mince, but minced vegetables cook faster.
The construction looks durable so far.
Cleaning is easy.
The parts fit easily and snugly.

Cons
The vegetables you put in comes out minced. There is hardly any control to control the size. You may control some degree but not much. In the same rationale you can NOT expect the vegetables to come out in cubes or striped shaped.
The plastic container looks strong but don’t know if it breaks, what I am going to do to get a replacement.

Overall a nice product.
Get one for your home. I dithered buying between getting Orpat and Morphy Richards but finally chose Orpat. Its definitely a value for money.

With a little push on the button we get evenly chopped onions🌰 . I can be finely chopped and granted. By far soo good, enjoying the appliance.
It is a very powerfull blender, comes handy all the time. Easy to carry while traveling too.
I can easy make Lassi,thandai, banana shakes, cold coffee. So its best suited for people who keeps on shifting as it takes less language and human interventions.
Really happy with the purchase.
