I use this for hardboiled eggs AND mushrooms. It makes perfectly sliced mushrooms for easy sauteeing. It takes a few mushrooms to get the hang of it, but once you figure it out it is so much faster than slicing by hand!
It does a wonderful job on eggs and with the rotation option, you can make perfect egg salad in no time at all. A real bonus is the removable grid, it scrapes out all the bits left behind in the teeth so you can just lift it out and rinse it off.
A real time saver that feels sturdy and well built. I expect to use this fo r years to come. Love OXO products, I haven't had a bad one yet!

My first review of this OXO Egg Chopper/Slicer was terribly harsh and unfair after using it on only a couple eggs.
I've just returned to the computer from having used it to chop a dozen eggs for egg-salad and it made quick work of them. Yes, there was still some gadget clean-up, but overall the clean-up was lots less work than chopping those eggs by hand and the resulting bits were nice and uniform.
I honestly believe that manual egg-slicing gadgets which also "chop," just don't get any better than this, and it's a keeper. 5-Stars.

To be honest, I did not purchase this item from Amazon. It was kind of an impulse buy while I was visiting a kitchen specialty shop. I have numerous other OXO products that I have pleased me, and I was sold on the fact that you could rotate the bottom thus slicing the egg in two directions easily...well, at least I though it would be easy. When I opened the device about half the egg stayed stuck in the top of the slicer. I ended up pretty much mangling every egg I tried. And cleaning is a nightmare! Its construction makes it very difficult to clean. I opened it and washed. I closed it and washed. I used a toothpick to get out the egg bits which are very difficult to see since most of the tool is white. I would think it was clean, open it again and find more egg pieces. I finally decided that it would make a great training tool for dental hygienists! Over-all, even if it worked perfectly, the cleaning difficulties would make me not recommend this tool. If you had to chop A LOT of eggs, then the time spent cleaning it might not matter so much, but I cannot see myself using this tool again. The whole time I was cleaning it, I was thinking about writing a review to warn others!
Honest reviews on OXO Good Grips Egg Slicer and Chopper
My simple guillotine type of slicer finally broke a few steel wires after 25 years of use. I chose this model from a dazzling array. To date I find it more useful than my previous one because the egg cradle rotates eliminating the need to lift a sliced egg to dice it. One can also slice the egg in either direction. This product has a nice weight and feel, is a snap to use and is easy to clean. It takes up a bit more shelf space than the simpler model and I hope it will last as long.

Purchased as a Christmas present. The clamshell top folds down to grasp the egg when in operation. The device must be completed opened to remove the egg, which means the wires must pass through the egg twice. This can cause the egg slices to get mangled. The clamshell makes it a bit challenging to clean by hand as when open it is always engaged with the wires. After a couple months of occasional use, the wires broke. Back for a refund.
